Sorry for the spelling errors, I have fat fingers.
My points are that some of you have no clue what its like to play the game, much less play at a high level. Sitting around bitching about not being undefeated is not the way to be a fan. BN has always said this will be a process, we all know that, some might not expect it but it is what it is. The cupboard was past empty when he got here, no he doesn't have to have 'his' players but he needs to have some players capable of performing at this level. Mullen recruited kids that would have never played in Div1, much less in the SEC.
Anyway, what some of you are failing to realize is that the measurement of a great coach is not just W' and L's.
BN has this team on the right path, maybe not an immediate upward path but they are going the right direction. Our recruiting has earned back years of mistrust amouingst high school coaches and students. We knew this year would be tough and probably worse than last year but he has the kids coming in to make a difference in 2024. As long as he continues to make imnprovements, he will be around a few more years. Look at the young players that are getting quality time on the field. How do you think they will play next year?
There have been no huge distractions with this team, no one beating their girlfriends or shooting anyone. A coaches job is to raise successful young men and graduate those young men and BN is doing a great job of that. The kids love him and as imnportantly, their parents love him too. Spend sometime around HS football and there is a buzz about FL that has not been there since UM left.
BN has not caused any embarrasement to the University, our players or the Alumni. He is polite and while we might not understand his methods, his message is clear, he makes no excuses and stands up like a man to the press.
He can improve his play calling, I agree. He needs a OC and I think he will learn that but who is he going to hire? He needs a special team coach with some passion and great attention to detail. Most of, all this team (and I have said this many times on here) needs some leadership from players and someone that gets in other players faces and makes them take that one extra rep and fight for that one extra yard. I don't see that player on the squad right now.
