[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 131867810, member: 1488840"] That's just it... that is the improvement. As you stated, WE are losing. We aren't getting beaten. WE are beating ourselves. We should have, what, maybe two losses right now because we just got beat? Maybe? It's the small things as you stated that have cost us games. That's an improvement. Have they been fixed? Not totally, but they are fixable without major overhauls. I want to say this... it isn't Brown's fault about Doege. Doege just isn't that good. He's reached the pinnacle of his abilities and talent. No amount of coaching is going to fix that. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken crap. Play calling doesn't matter when your team is limited by Doege. You can have a Corvette frame, a Corvette suspension, but if you have a Chevette motor, it's always only going to be a Chevette. It might look good at times, but put her on the starting line and see what happens. We have... What's wrong with trying out Crowder?
