Our coaching staff is full of morons especially on offense. House needs to be cleaned after this year. This disaster of a season is unacceptable.

Entire offensive coaching staff should be fired.

Sigh.. what a disconnect between the coaches and players

Everyone else has seen how productive Bentley can be and has been and yet they just refuse to play him. At the cost of losing games and blowing a golden opportunity for the program as a whole

Inexcusable leadership by all involved . There’s no other way to put it.

When your coach is on the spectrum these problems do crop up

The issue there is Kiffin is included in the offensive staff. I dont think Kiffin stands by to watch Weiss fk up play calling time and time again and allow Kevin Smith to keep putting in the wrong RB and says to himself “not my job to get involved with this”. The problem ks that Kiffin is complicit because he never stepped in to correct it early on. These are not new offensive problems.

Maybe so, but we honestly lack offensive talent across the board. Offensive line is mediocre. Receivers outside of Harris and Lee are suspect. No RBs to speak of (that we’re willing to use anyway). TEs have been hit or miss or injured. The defense is stacked with transfer talent, but we didn’t do as good a job plugging holes on offense.

Dart is a fricking warrior and has done all he could with what he’s had around him—more than most would have. I love the dude, and will always appreciate him for his time here.

Sure, Kiffin has work to do, but I honestly think he’s getting better every year. The talent level is slowly rising. The Vaught is an actual madhouse that gives opposing teams fits. Never thought that was even possible. This program is still on the up and up, and this was in no way the “last dance” for our program. I think it’s only the beginning, but our fanbase has the same dramatic idiots that other fanbases have, so they want to ignore the process.

At best. Didnt think it would be worse than last year but believe that to be the case.

Eventually, the truth is gonna have to come out for whatever the hell is going on with the coaches and Bentley.

Guys, I simply refuse to believe they're benching Bentley for no good reason. There’s too much at stake. It may come out and it may not, but there’s 100% a good reason he’s not playing.

Kiffin is a lot of things, but he’s self-serving above all else, and he isn’t going to play a WR at RB in the most important of his career for shits and giggles.

The only rationale he’s provided is that he was passed up on the depth chart which is likely more damaging than whatever the underlying issue is.

Odd that he cant say “it’s academic”, “it has to do with team rules”, “it’s a NIL issue”. If it’s any of that the why has he gotten a touch or two here or there?

If he can play kickoff return, why can’t he play running back?

It would be different if he was never on the field but he plays kickoff return.

He’s a proven back in this league, and can dk it.

It’s not like he’s the kid from Air Force or whatever who they decided can’t really play at this level.


Bentley is the best available . It does not add up

I honestly have no clue. At first I thought it was just Kevin smith preferring his guy over Bentley but that can't be all it is. I refuse to believe it's an NIL situation because someone would have ponied up the money after the lsu game to make sure we had a running back. Kiffin says it's nothing off the field so I'm left to believe he beat the shite out of Charlie Weiss in front of the whole team Percy harvin style in practice and they feel they'd lose the team if they played him over other players. And he knows at this point fans would applaud Bentley for beating the shite out of Weiss and blame kiffin for ever punishing him for that to begin with

It’s about the only thing that would explain it now. That if you play Bentley you would somehow send the message that whatever is going on is just ok and you lose the team. Maybe they thought they could keep this thing alive and kicking the can down the road without him. That ended Saturday.

Start Simmons in the egg bowl what do we have to lose at this point? Dart has done enough he can draft prep so he be a bust at the next level

Dart has earned the right to say when he's done. If he wants to go out there and play I hope our fans give him the ovation and support he deserves on senior night

Absolutely. Not starting Dart in the Egg Bowl would be asinine. You know, kind of like not playing your best running backs when they are available.
