Sooooo many complaints. No coaching improvements, no new schemes to stop the opponents, what if Dooley can't coach, Etc. etc. etc. So much witching and crying is really starting to get on my nerves. I just want to know how many of the gloomy legion here predicted 9 - 11 wins this year? I told you then you had your head in the clouds...That you were thinking with your heart and not your brain. It's time to show a little backbone here and be a little supportive.
Has anyone here ever played chess? If you do, then you know that when you get down to only a rook and a king, options become extremely limited. This is close to what we have on our football team right now. We don't have any play-makers. About the only way we can win is to make no mistakes and hope the other team does. Florida, Georgia and LSU didn't make any serious mistakes.
We can't hope to start winning until we can match up on talent. Our best defensive player is Jackson at DT. He goes about 275. We're about to play a bama team that will have LB's that go about 260. They have all the cards in experience, talent, depth, speed, coaching, home field, etc. Yes, we have a chance to win, but we need to be realistic of just what those chances are.
I know folks are frustrated, but the coaching is fine and things are getting better. But be aware that he competition we are playing is at the top of the chart and that any improvements may be overshadowed by the rise in the competition level. I am about 75% certain that we will have played the next national champion after this Saturday.
Lets all just back away from the edge of the cliff right now and take a deep breath. Things are getting better. Look for bright spots in the game. The climb to the top is a long one.
