Love it but I also wonder how a senior middle linebacker has zero solo tackles on a day when the opposition ran the ball 80% of the time.
I don't mean to use your post as a place to go off on a rant but since his name came up I think guys like Austin Johnson and Tauren Poole were just as much at fault for their comments after the game towards underclassmen as the underclassmen were. Tauren Poole and Austin Johnson were not leaders of this football team. That's a big part of the issue IMO. I've been thinking about this for a couple of days and I read this morning that Erik Ainge talked about this on his show today... This team is devoid of upperclassmen leaders. There are a bunch of freshmen and sophomores running the show. There is nobody there who has the ability to stand up and take control of the locker room.
This is one of the problems that Fulmer always had. He wanted the players to run the show. Without the discipline of Cutcliffe, he had to have great leaders to have good teams. Unfortunately I think Dooley shares that fault with Fulmer. Dooley's teams are going to need strong upperclassmen who will handle the locker room and when a great young player gets too big for his britches they will handle it internally rather than take it to Twitter after the last game of a horrible season.
