re: Anybody else notice a constant influx of “It’s not O’s fault” and “not Pelini’s fault”

You have more faith in him than I do. I was conflicted when he made the interim, then he was made the HC and we got better every season. We get to last season and it couldn't have been better. Then we get to this season and it's like, "what happened?" I mean we should've been at least respectful and competitive. And he made terrible hires. He's made one good hire. Like I said, people expected a drop-off but not like this.


Who's in charge of fixing it? Game 9 looks for the most part like game 1. You can only use the "he won a natty" excuse for so long.

As for the “disconnect”, any players who are weak pansies who would choose to lose because somebody didn’t tell them that cops are awful or hold their hand enough, those guys are cancers and can’t leave fast enough.



So you condone brushing players out the door as long as it suits your narrative? What does that tell the potential recruitments?

So much for being the "one team, one heartbeat." Again, that's coming from the HC.

But we can't hold O accountable for any of that. It has to be the 'weak pansy' players. No way it could be anything the HC did. I think there needs to be some 'tough love' but I don't see that from O this season. He seems to be more concerned with other things, not the program. I'm not going to say what but we all know what it is. If this were his 'dream job,' seems to me, he'd put more emphasis on it. He's the HC. It starts there.

Give me a break. It blows my mind how far some of you will go the ends of the earth to defend the man. It's nuts.

Again, I don't think he should be fired but I also don't think you're being very realistic.

We've made little adjustments and if we were undefeated, you wouldn't be bringing up the Covid stuff. Georgia looks to be doing fine with that, Clemson looks to be ok, Alabama looks to be ok, Florida looks to be ok.

So where did we go off the rails? It has to be the 'pansy players' right? It couldn't be because the HC has no idea of how to keep his players solidified, aka 'one team, one heartbeat,' now could it?

It's always someone else's fault. Forget about the guy actually driving the bus. O needs to fix this and fast. Have people already in mind to hire and I also think it would be in the best interest of the school that O doesn't decide on who to hire as new coordinators. His track record speaks for itself.

This is just my opinion, no sources or anything but it's obvious that there is something amiss.

I believe there's fault and regression on all levels from EO on down to the players but it's going to always fall on the head coach. His so called mentors/friends swole his already big head up last year. Now let's hope they're humbling the shite out of him with some honest critical feedback whether he's asking for it or not.

One team, one heartbeat is a two way street. The coach commits to you and you commit to the team. It does not mean if players quit on the team you have to keep coddling them indefinitely. In fact, I would argue keeping cancers in your locker room is a disservice to all the other players who have actually bought into a “one team” approach.
