Message: [QUOTE="Cuse12, post: 5356371, member: 6808"] Correct, I was being a little sarcastic, no one has said not our fault. But, the narrative of needing more NIL and blaming lack of it for this seasons performance, has come to the front lines on radio, and numerous interviews once the season went in the hole. I didn’t hear that conversation as much in November/December when possibilities were on the table. I didn’t hear this when we won 20 games last season. Alan griffin went on radio and said “we need our Kyle McCord”, which I get that, I really do. I would never expect a coach to go on an interview saying yeah our coaching is lack luster. But the conversation is clearly being pointed to NIL, and that’s the focus and word to get out right now. Again, it is not wrong! It really isn’t. They are trying to utilize the poor performance to motivate NIL. They HAVE to do that and I do not blame them. But, NIL doesn’t mean successful teams. There’s many examples in CFB and CBB where teams with extreme budgets under perform. So clearly it’s not just NIL, it takes the right system and coaching too. For example, let’s say we have the same NIL and players last year but Dino was the coach and all his assistants. Do you think we have the same outcome? Maybe, maybe not. Point is we didn’t win 10 games ONLY because of NIL and players, it took coaching and proper preparation too. Why was Tx AM with Jimbo fisher not winning championships even tho their war chest was enormous? It takes both to be successful. My point is the narrative is essentially, we have the coaches that’s not the problem, the problem is money. I will die on this hill, it takes BOTH! But guess what who am I, someone gets paid handsomely to figure this out, I don’t. So what do I know lol [/QUOTE]
