"They keep score. Someone wins and someone loses. I don't care what we're doing. If you want to thumb wrestle me right now I'm going to kick your ass. You want to go run stadiums? I'll kick your ass. If you're going to keep score and someone's going to win and someone's going to lose, I want to beat your ass.

"If we don't have that attitude in the locker room, we've got a problem. What are you doing?"
Tough attitude to change after three years of purty kewl.

Oh crap why can't fathers stay the hell out of it.
Parents and social media............if you want to DESTROY your kids scholly opportunity go in FB or Twitter talking this kind of garbage. I don't disagree with the premise but does that moron not know that he will have hundreds of people that aren't Kyle's parents behind making the change on twitter and ESPN, that he doesn't have to daddy ball it on twitter? I should go on his account a post the ten things parent do to ruin it for their athlete from Stack.com. Idiot!
STFU and let this play out.

Yep. Listening to him on the radio after the game, he said we won those ealier games (LSU) with maximum effort and solid execution...not because we had more talent. This group simply isn’t good enough to win if they don’t play with their hair on fire.

Gotta play with that house money. Be that super annoying guy at the final table of the World Series of Poker who goes all in every other hand no matter how bad his cards are.

I find the rumors that Franks won't work and won't gameplan and won't pay attention simply hard to believe, because I think Mullen would have sat his ass long before now if that were true. I don't think he would tolerate that, but I guess I could be wrong.

Either that or he just thinks Franks is THAT much better than Trask and was our only hope for winning some games this year.
If he thinks that he's both blind and stupid.

So after Franks scored to make it 21-10, the TV showed him on the sideline talking with a teammate, smiling, laughing, etc. I got really pissed and said to myself “why is this fctard smiling & laughing...great you scored but we’re still getting whipped”. I was going to post my irritation in the game thread but chose instead to go use my weed eater in my yard. The weed eater kicked up a pebble at 100+mph that I took square on my chin. Split me open good and I bled like a stuck pig but that was still more enjoyable than watching these bozos.
That's rich. I was thinking the same thing. What's that putz smiling about. You would have think we just won.

This quote toward the end of the post-game conference leads me to believe Mullen may be still struggling with parts of the stench left over from Mac. We did not play with our usual intensity yesterday.

"They keep score. Someone wins and someone loses. I don't care what we're doing. If you want to thumb wrestle me right now I'm going to kick your ass. You want to go run stadiums? I'll kick your ass. If you're going to keep score and someone's going to win and someone's going to lose, I want to beat your ass.

"If we don't have that attitude in the locker room, we've got a problem. What are you doing?"
BINGO! I absolutely believe the stench of Mac and I am willing to give him the time to get it cleaned out. However, one thing that does give me pause is his overzealous loyalty to upper classmen when it comes to playing time, at least thats my perception. And Franks should be done.....period!

This. Playing EJ helps put some separation between him and Jalen. EJ will be good...Jalen will be better. Forget the redshirt.
This red shirtting mentality is totally stupid. If the guy's any good four years is plenty. If he isn't any good who needs him for an extra year. Besides, this other Jones is already better than EJ.

Franks isn't an upperclassmen but yes there does seem to be an odd loyalty to the kids who have been here longer.

That quote is so revealing. Pretty much confirms what we've seen the past few years. Team has no heart or pride. Only solution is to clean house, starting with Franks. You can't instill grit, determination and fire. Actions speak louder than words Dan. Time to act!

I have said from the beginning that the way to defend our offense is to crowd the line of scrimmage and dare Franks to beat them with his arm. Starting with the Vanderbilt game every defensive coordinator since then has implemented that scheme and it worked to perfection yesterday.
I heard so much about Franks leadership qualities I am about to throw up. Leadership is not about hanging out with the guys and playing Call of Duty with them, leadership is about doing your job on the field and hitting those open receivers. Even your closest friends will leave you when you overthrow them time and time again or totally not see them when they are wide open.

That is really the formula for any sideways offense spread team

Unfortunately we have become that because we can't run between the tackles. So actually the solution is to throw. Throw screens, slants, curls, quick throws and an occasional deep ball to stretch them vertically. Things that Franks is not good at.
