I probably could have just added this post instead of creating thread, but I heard something today where UF has 4 TD passes in 6 games, less TD passes than some traditional triple option teams. One last second bomb, 2 to totally uncovered receivers and a 4th one. It really does not matter how we score as I am okay with 5 rushing TD's in a game like Vandy, but that is not really the point. It got me to thinking about process again. I think the point I am trying to make is our record currently, 3-3, is exactly why I am not a numbers, stats or final score guy.
If we were 1-5 which we easily could be, the entire world would be on the " Butters sux and has to go now" bus, but thanx to poor coaching and other things by UT and KY, we are not.
If we were 5-1, such as take advantage of great field position in the A&M game in the first half and put them away, or just somehow get a late FG in both, a good % would be saying SECCG again and the UGA game is it and we are awesome.
Truth be told we are 3-3 and could easily have either of the other records without almost anything changing. With that said, remember Chump basically got fired b/c his team could not execute a simple punt with a 7 point lead, 1 minute to go and no timeouts left for the opponent. Punt gets blocked. They short drive for a TD, OT, lose. Execute that punt and Chump does not lose his job.
LSU thinks they scored on the last play of the game last year against Auburn. Replay said snap was too late, Auburn wins, Miles axed. If LSU gets that play off, Miles does not get fired.
The moral of the story is you can't let one simple successful lucky play or not lucky play determine how your program is actually doing. Watch the entire game for the entire year and you will see that just like Miles teams and Chump's teams, Butter's teams look exactly like those teams did in those tenures. Poorly coached, undisciplined, mentally weak. So regardless of record, the eyeballs of the product must tell the story, not the #'s after the team name.
