I needed someone to point that out to me. [/QUOTE]
QB carousal, QB not warming up before being sent in, cold 5th string walkon RB sent in to try to fumble game away, Muschamp like sphincter tightened 3 Taylor runs in a row on last drive, punting on 4th and a foot then going with Harris on next possession in first half. Not the worst coached game I've seen, but not good.

That was my initial feeling, but I think it goes deeper. ECU committed to stopping the run while confusing us with blitzes. That put the game in the hands of our quarterbacks, who didn't make the throws when they needed, Harris late on an apparent TD and Grier woefully behind and short of the intended receiver.

My point on it was that Grier was moving the offense well and we stalled when he was pulled in the 2nd qtr. I think that threw off the whole game.

That would be a huge mistake but I'd love the signing bonus.MJMGator;n277695 said:
Nothing Mac said was wrong, but it's a flaw not to see that his own performance needs to be evaluated and improved as well. I'm still on the Mac train, no doubt. But him losing it to the point of looking like he was going to kill Taylor on the sideline on camera, and calling out everyone but his own performance is a bit concerning.

I didn't care for the sideline tirade, but I'm able to realize that's because of the last guy. If we hadn't endured that for the last four years I probably would've applauded it.

He's right to be upset. But he also has to look at how he handed the QB situation, and recognize its impact on the rest of the game. And he is, based on that PC. You can read into it what you choose, but that frustration is partly a perfectionist and competitor that is upset with himself.
As as for the entitlement issues, that will just take time. See Dee Webb 2005.

What are we expecting though? We're not walking into any Grossman'01 scenarios. I think it'd be good for all of us to re watch Danny's '93 and '94 games. We're going to have to take our lumps somewhere at some time. Might as well make it now so we can start planning for the future.

Do you think our fans will tolerate losing a few extra games this year while we're planning for the future? I certainly don't, after I see all of you second guessing the man in week 2.
