PS. Shane is sloooooow at making decisions. He should have fired Shula after the SC State game. It was obvious something was horribly wrong then.
You've got that right. It was apparent in the bowl game that something clearly was off. Sellers had already begun to regress and looked nothing like he did in the Clemson game. Shula had no business getting that job to begin with.
Crazy thing is Beamer said he consulted with Sellers when he hired Shula.
I think it says a lot about Beamer and his confidence in his decisions that he consulted a player about who to hire as OC. A legit coach knows players are very temporary parts of a program. Making what could be long term staff decisions based on the input of players is foolish.
Athletic Directors and Board of Trustees members should not consult ex-players about who to hire as Head Coach.
So, Beamer's phone is not "blowing up" with calls from football's most brilliant offensive minds?
Yes, if we're being honest, we all sensed something was very wrong after the bowl game. I think most of us wrote off our misgivings because bowl games can be weird and Shula had only been with the program about three weeks. But in retrospect, the fact that we only put up 17 points against a fairly pedestrian Illinois team was a harbinger of things to come. Also, the fact that our offense was repeatedly caught off-guard by Beliema's defensive substitution strategy was a strong indicator that our offense was mismanaged.
