Exactly... classic over-reaction from the "what have you done for me lately" crowd.

How many of you think that Skip Holtz is a better coach than Doug Marrone?  Take a look at the USF season... they just finished 5-7 playing a similar schedule to Syracuse.  They beat Syracuse, but could end up behind them in the Big East standings after tomorrow if Syracuse beats Pittsburgh.  This is his second year and they are going to miss a bowl game for the first time in 7 years!  I wonder if USF fans are griping about his "ceiling" and how he only won last year because of Leavitt's seniors.

What about Butch Jones?  Is he a good coach?  Last year Cincinnati was awful with the best QB in the league (Collaros), and a young defense.  This year, they have a more experienced defense and have played much better.  If Collaros hadn't been injured, they would likely be heading to the BCS game this year.

Clearly, there are weaknesses on this team, but they were in every single game this year (excluding maybe USC).  The only "complete" game they played so far this year when all 3 phases were firing on all cylinders was against West Virginia.  In hindsight, I think that game is prompting much of this angst.  It showed everyone the possibilities, and then the team came back down to earth afterwards and hasn't recovered.
