Pellini and Jimbo think our coach is an idiot.

Evidence? Link?

Ok here is the point. Guilbeau is right to an extent. The whole point is, and if you think about it I'm right, out of all the major programs in the country we had the most to prove that we were still a legitimate power. And this is all the intangibles, from coaching to talent. The whole knock on this coaching staff is the fact that we dont go for the kill. When we have our foot on peoples throats, we just let it sit there and delay the execution until the cavalry arrives, like in some cheesy Hollywood movie. I said this in another post, I never had a problem with Spurrier back when he was with Florida. They played the whole 60 minutes and never put the foot off the accelerator. People bashed him for being unsportsmanlike, but he empowered his players to always stay aggressive and to never quit. Even if they were up 30 with 10 minutes left in the game, they were playing like it was a close game. These days you got to have that mentality. Last years Moo State game should've been a perfect lesson for Miles and the coaching staff to learn from. I would've hated seeing PP or RS or RR get hurt up by 20, but UNC was not quiting, even though they seemed out of it. When that 97 yrd touchdown happened, that should've been the wakeup call they needed to crank the engine back up, but you all know that its hard to get that competitive engine revved back up after it has been turned off.
If it is Crowton's fault that we are all of a sudden going conservative and sitting back on offense, then fire his arse but Miles is the CEO of the program, and the players and the coaches take the cues from him. If he feels its in the bag, he is going to alert the coaches to do the same and thus it filters down to the players. Throwing his players and then the coaches under the bus after every game is getting old. If you want something done, then by gosh make it so.
Miles just seems he doesn't have what it takes to do it at this high of a level. Him and Houston Nutt are pretty much twins. They do their best work when they are out gunned and out talented.
I dont know how many times I have said this, but hopefully this will FINALLY be the lesson they needed to learn to get things turned around. Stay behind the boys through all of this and hope talent will rule at the end of the day and not the coaching.
