VTTW's worst poster had this to say last year after the OU game. Butch had a weak hand when he arrived, but he didn't maximize it. Now he's got a decent hand, and is squandering it.

Good coaching maximizes your advantages, and minimizes weaknesses. I haven't seen that.
1) A veteran OL and pathetic rest of team go to Oregon. We play fast instead of milking the clock. We were going to lose badly, but that tactic assured swift destruction.
No, the biggest issue at Oregon was the defensive scheme, one that eventually got Jancek fired (go back and watch what we did with the strong side safety and what Oregon did as a result)
2) Peterman starts in Gainesville, and plays almost a half.
3) We're still trying to redshirt Dobbs through all this.
To be fair, Dobbs had not show squat during practice and frankly didn't play even fair the rest of the year, really played poorly (go see my posts after the MO game)
4) Worley is busy running read-option stuff.
Actually, we ran very little read option with Worley, almost 100% were called RB runs
5) Ferguson wisely realizes his future is on the bench and bolts.
Ferguson has since admitted he made a mistake leaving
You forget that it was Ferguson who was #3 and travelling (Dobbs didn't travel to Gainesville for example) till he was injured (stress fracture) right before the Alabama game and that resulted in Dobbs instead of him playing against bamer
6) Peterman makes his ill-fated 2014 appearances.
7) Jones is bailed out by Worley's injury.
8) We play fast in the 4th quarter against OU.
I'm not quibbling with play calls. Jones has done a brilliant job recruiting, but has mismanaged fundamental elements of sports...a lot...in just two years. I hope he learns, but that's not typically how it works.
