that the two freshmen D.Ends who failed multiple drug tests before halfway through their true freshmen season.
I think Shafer lost control of this team from the Seniors on down. The seniors should have read the riot act to these two players after the first fail. How could these kids not know that there would be follow ups...mind boggling to think about that.Either they just didn't care or someone was telling them there would be no follow ups. If I failed a single drug test I would be gone before the next word would come out of my mouth. No second chances for me.
There was no commitment by these two and the next coach does not have to accept them back and now you have a former Q.B. that seems to be enjoying this mess for personal reason.
Our strongest o-lineman was a walk-on player this year which I am sure it's something that doesn't happen very often at a P5 school. To me one of the very most important piece of the puzzle to any successful D-1 is to have a solid S&C PROGRAM where the upperclass lineman have developed to the point to where there stomachs flatten out,instead it seems our lineman seem to be overlapping more and more as the years go on.
This trend has carried on and on as the coaching staff changes every few years. Villanova owned our line even while being out weighed by about 40 lb. across the line.There needs to be wholesale changes there too.
Truthfully I think there was a lot more turmoil going on behind the scenes than what's being said in public and I think Orgeron might have the cache' to clean this mess up as I really don't know much about the others involved.I never would have thought about Ed O as being a head coach here.
