I just want to point out a few things to help clarify my position on Karl....
1 We have hands down the worst offensive line in D1 CFB.....and we have for 9 straight games. That makes it the UTMOST priority to find a line up or players who perform better than being the worst in D1 CFB. Karl directly said the Oline would be a STRENGTH of this team.
2 We have witnessed 22 games FILLED with mind boggling game management debacles. These mistakes have at least altered the outcome of 3-4 games that ended in losses.
3 He has constantly defended questionable play calling(and I'm being generous here)yet despite going into 2 mini stretches of decent play calling for a total of about 2.5 quarters of this season he constantly returns to mundane and mis timed plays in routine game situations and critical circumstances.
He's not going to change....he doesn't know how to.

Competitive in a loss against one of the worst teams in the country. Yeah, that's what we're paying 7 mil a year for.

Worse
They played it 5x over on tv
Worse
They showed replays 5x so it really sunk in

I'd have never thought Pyburn going out would effect our defense so much but they were lost when he went down.
Guys didn't know the calls, didn't know the gap they were responsible for and worst of all quit even asking their teammates and just floated around and didn't do anything.
This is just my observation from the stands. It may have looked totally different from home.

Where"s he going to go? There ain't going to be anyone knocking down the door for a QB that is horribly inaccurate downfield beyond 7 yards.

Everyone wants a Mr Check Down in the QB room. Unfortunately if he was in an attacking offense, he likely has a better nickname. It's not really mertz, it's the dumbass with the headset.

Well he’s not going to get fired after year 2. I think Law might be dead on. Next years Georgia game could be the finale unless drastic changes are seen.
I might not know much but I know this…..after coaching high school and AAU basketball for nearly 30 years….I know kids respond to tough coaches…..they thrive on that discipline…..and they brag how tough their coaches were for the rest of their lives. If you are going to be a fatherly figure who’s “building young men” it still has to be within a system of strong accountability with absolute consequences.
They don’t always need a hug.
I like Billy but you simply cannot accept mediocrity. You don’t have to be Bobby Knight but you cannot even hint that losing is acceptable.
I hope Billy figures it out…..cleans up the staff, holds the class together and further develops the culture to include an obsession for winning. As Pat Riley once said….’There is winning and there is misery. Nothing in between”.

Watching the lsu alabama game? LSU just scored on a long pass play. Saban’s disgusted. Billy would smile and mumble something in his mic.

I am not sure Billy is quite as good as Saban.
Maybe with five more top 2 recruiting classes, an OC, a ST coordinator, a DC, a S&C coach and a clue how to coach football...he will get close.

We just need to unplug Billy's headset and let mertz call the plays from the huddle. Instant improvement.

Good post. Truth. His entire post game crystallized his losing is okay personality. He talked about those guys in the locker room, like they are all buddies.

Check out this article from USA TODAY:

Winners and losers of college football's Week 10: Georgia, Oklahoma State have big days
There were highs and lows in Week 10 of the college football season. Georgia and Oklahoma State were two top performers. Notre Dame disappointed.
