I'm not buying the "we only have one way to go and that's up" with Kool Kid.
 
To the contrary, we could have more of the same next year or actually regress even further. Everyone seems to want to give this guy a free pass on the belief that miraculously, the completely unproven recruits we have coming in next year (as well as the two QB's who came in last year) will click and all will be well. I'm not buying it. The emphasis here is on the unproven. True freshman rarely come in and light it up in year 1. Ditto for a new QB. The things that are the most concerning to me are the controllables which are not being addressed. Constant penalties, confusion on substituitions and personnel, inability to use the clock correctly. These are coaching failures by and large, not personnel related.
 
We've got a guy who is learning on the job, appears to be slightly ADD with his play calling and will unlikely be here very long anyway. Where does that leave us long term ? We are a program that has struggled with mediocrity for the better part of a decade plus. We are an afterthought on the national scene.
 
This year feels like a whole lot of backwards instead of forward.
