Seinfeld made this point in another thread.Yes, we've underachieved (especially this year), but looking at pure wins and losses, I would be inclined to give Stans another year. <div>
</div><div>The biggest beef I think we all if the complete lack of effort we see at times this year. I can think of maybe 2 SEC games were I thought we displayed more effort than the other team. Almost every other game i thought we were vastly outplayed in the "effort" department (vandy was a push)- our talent just carried us through some of those other ones.</div><div>
</div><div>But it's not just this year - this has been a theme for the last 4 years. Our defensive effort continues to slip every year and the locker room is continually having issues. That's the bigger sign that the captain is having trouble managing the ship. It can happen to any coach, but he's had more than enough time to fix it.</div><div>
</div><div>Somehow we were playing twice as good early in the season. We really played well in NYC and against Baylor and I was pleased with the effort and style of the team for the most part. Then the bottom starting falling out.</div><div>
</div><div>The lack of intensity last night had to almost break the back of those who hadn't already conceded it was time for a change. If that's what fighting for your life produces, doesn't seem like there was much will to live.</div><div>
