Ya it was posted and talked about here and was really the only glaring obvious red flag that I remember from when we hired him. I don't know what his excuse was for it, but the best excuse would be that he didn't notice or understand the score... which would be pretty insane. But what would be even crazier would be knowing the score and understanding this was going to cut it to 3 and doing it anyway. Indefensible coaching decision.
Remember the time Lumpy made Jeff Driskell take a knee 3 times and then punted with a few minutes left in a game where we had a two score lead?
Kirby Smart is a fuchsng idiot, who lost a NC after winning three quarters on 4th and 30 and a fake punt on his own 30 with his freshman QB as an upback (a clear tell that it was a fake punt).
Only glaring obvious red flag? Other than him supposedly being the only candidate and his lack of really accomplishing nothing much in the Sun Belt.......
We also thought the defense could not continue to get worse over multiple years and DCs (Grantham - Toney - Hambino)
Dude is a moron but he is smart enough to out talent his dumbs. He got luck AF to get his illegal NIL train rolling before NIL got legal. All they have to do is keep the donor train rolling to keep the recruits lining up and play that conservative all world talent game that theyve been playing. He also got lucky AF to come in to the east at a time when all the programs were dumpster fires. Foley can eabod, burp and then eaabod.
Supposedly the reason for it was it was a wet game. At least 3 times in the game the long snapper snapped the ball over the punters head.
In an effort to lighten the mood, and because we are entering Christmas time, I think it is appropriate to start posting "Detroit's Horrendous 'Festivus' Ornaments He Was Forced to Make in Elementary School".... this one is from 3rd Grade, when Mom gave me the "Half-Kirby, Quasi- @stephenPE " haircut... it's kinda hard to see, but towards the right side of my "Quasi-Coach bangs," there is actually a clump of hair sticking down that she missed and made it into my 3rd Grade school pics... more Festivus fun to follow...
Man that’s awesome! Who knew that Kurt Russell / Jamie McPheeters was a member of the Chatter troupe. Seriously, my wife has got similar “ornaments” our kids made in K-6 and they come out every Christmas. Both kids refer to the “The Tannenbaum of Shame!” Just glad they didn’t do like me and my sister and draw glasses and mustaches on the ones we didn’t chop up with the scissors.
Well, it would appear that in the time that I posted and you replied, we have new "BREAKING COACHING NEWS!!!!" that requires MORE humor from "Detroit's Traumas from Christmas's Past"... This is from 2nd Grade, so approximately 50 years ago. I had REALLY high hopes for this one. We dipped the string in thinned Elmer's glue, then covered it with sparkly schit, then you wrapped it around an almost perfectly round balloon while the glue "set" overnight. Imagine my glee and excitement going to school the next morning only to have my Christmas joy dashed on the rocks of cold, hard, reality... apparently, the balloon deflated overnight and resulted in this Christmas abomination that lives on to remind me of the horrors of my childhood.
There’s some kinda symbolism with the “Island of Misfit Toys” ornament neatly juxtaposed next to “Chicago!” But who among us didn’t have some Arts and Crafts bomb or an inappropriate gift from the class drawing of names? Hell, I got a shirt one year that I know belonged to the classmate’s dad who got my name. It looked like an old 1950’s bowling shirt, stylish today but causing me to get f’d with royally back in 1975! But it’s events like this that forged my nuts of steel. Anyway, that’s my positive spin!
