Sickening, embarrasing
Im still in disbelief how we go from 10 wins-to 5 wins to possibly 1. A 10-5-1 3 year trend, is a steep decline. Can anyone cite any other examples of a drop-off like that? im sure there are some but they are rare and probably costs the head coach his job.
People have debated if this is worse than Grobs loss to Akron. I say, Yes because Grob had never shown any ability to be successfull to that point and it happened in year 3 as opposed to year 5 for Dino.
I really want to see Dino succeed, and im not calling for him to be fired but its gonna make it hard for JW to keep him. For those that say that shouldn't even be considered, you are just accepting the losing that has been hampering the program since Grob.
Even before the depth chart came out, I had some concerns. The fact that players were boycotting practice because of concerns of about how other schools are testing. That right there told me they were not focused and hungry like a junkyard dog to play this year. Then a couple of opt-outs. Other schools had opt-outs too, LSU, Oregon, USC, etc. You know who had 0 opt outs?
Alabama, with their level of talent to not have an opt out is unreal. That shows the focus and committment towards the competition and it being about team.
As for X and Os, they need to focus more on physicality at the line of scrimage. Forget playing fast, and driving the car like you stole it. Games are won with blocking and tackling. I thought the S&C program was improved when Dino got here, I read they had improved their speed and lifting #s but now I am not seeing it translate on the field.
Im not sure what should happen, it almost seems like this program needs a no-non sense Doug Marrone type to get them back to respectability.
