to have a problem criticizing them at all, and I think they were fairly receptive to it early in the season. At this point, though, they're probably tired of hearing it from everybody including him, and at least one player seemed as pissed as most of you at the likelihood of Croom returning for at least one more year.

but I wish we had more people like Glen Young were actually on our coaching staff. He is the anti-Tony Robertson.

But I'll also say this- I don't think that the reason we're bad is because of effort from the players for the most part. For example, Quentin Saulsberry sucks ***, but he's trying. Effort will only get you so far- and I expect our players to play hard regardless, it's something that shoud be a given, and not something that they should be patted on the back for, but talent and coaching have to come into the equation at some point.

So, I could understand a player getting pissed off at someone saying that they don't give a **** anymore.

Now, that said the problem is clearly a coaching/recruiting issue. We have poor play calling, and we have done a poor job at developing our players. And despite the complexity of our offense, we should have more than 10 plays that we can run- heck, you can easily run 10 out of the Wildcat. Yes, we have done a poor job of recruiting- in particular on offense and ST, but you can somewhat mask that with some good coaching.

Our players deserve better than what Croom is giving them.
