How did this team get so soft?

That's the thing I hate the worst. We are soft on defense. Getting pushed around. We were without one of our top DL (Autry), top LB (Gay) and top DB (Dantzler - at least for the 1st half)

We have a coach who took the team to a water park during fall camp his first year.

I’m gonna blame S&C coach.

Might be wrong, but that’s who I’m blaming.

When I saw Errol looking fat as 17, I had questions.

We went cheap on Strength and Conditioning Coaches so we could use that money on Joey Jones.

I think we can all agree that Joey Jones is stealing money from the university at this point. I’ve never seen us so poorly coached at special teams and I survived the croom error.

Bear Bryant took players on a ten day practice in 100° weather. Jackie took the players to watch a bull get castrated. Moorhead took the players to Rapids on the 17ing Reservoir.

One day off isn’t going to make a team soft. It’s the other 364 days that do.

Our D actually only gave up 269 total yards. Just shows stats don't always tell the tale.

The Strength and Conditioning Coach is the 2nd most important coach on the team behind HC because he is the one that has the most contact with the players in the offseason getting them ready for the upcoming season.... we decided to go with a guy that Mullen didn’t want to take to Florida with him.

The finesse style just doesn’t work here. But our ad and some of our big boosters wanted to be like ole miss and sling it around so we could beat Bama rather then sticking to our roots of hard nosed football.

Everyone didn’t like Mullen because he was an ***. Well the *** got results. Sometime you need that on the football field. Football is a mean tough sport.

Our coach claimed to be blue collar but has been anything but that. He relies on the confidence of his brain and how smart he thinks he is. It’s typical northeast football
