Signs (aka facts) Point to a Collapse

I've been indifferent to O. Not a fan nor a hater but generally one who would give him the benefit of the doubt. Up until we got down by 30 points I'm in Starkville still thinking we will win and go undefeated. Up through Tuesday I'm making every excuse like it was only 4 players, 4 plays, 4 bad calls or we would have won. Yesterday (Wednesday) was the final straw. I've been deaf dumb and blind. Let's review the facts of what is obviously a program being massively mismanaged.
QB recruiting drama, D. Craig, the Arden Key sage, beef with HS coaches, transfers, transfers and more transfers, player dismissals, media blackout of camp, new practice ways that obviously hasnt worked, Jacoby Stevens mismanagement, ton of player suspensions, not showing anything the first two games, being blown out to MSU, not running 4 WR sets until down by 30 on road and now as of yesterday Guice Range Rover gate and even more Jacoby Stevens mismanagement. That's just all the stuff I can think of off the top of my head. It's just too much to ignore.
In previous posts I've dated O is smart enough to know this is his last stop and massive changes are needed NOW, quick fast and in a hurry. I no longer have confidence after all the things I listed that O has control of this program where in a gut check moment he can motivate and inspire his players to push through.

Please find another team to root for. I hear the weather is quite fair in Alabama.

Okay, so say it collapses.

So everything I listed wasn't a fact? And we just didn't come off of a 30 point loss? And after such loss we still toying around with Jacoby and Guice posting Range Rover pics? But saying a collapse, which to me would be equal or more losses as last year (4) is beyond the pale.

such a dumb response. Like you can't be critical of the coach or the administration and still be a real fan?

Well I stopped reading when I read you thought we were going undefeated. 2 loss team was the ceiling and that wasn't even a good chance of happening.

Let's reverse engineer things shall we. It is fair to say, beyond Vegas having us as a 7 point favorite, that we all expected us to beat MSU. I hope we can all agree that's a fair statement.
First, Ed Paris shouldn't have been playing. Last couple years he's had no reps or meaningful game time and it showed. For us to have the #1 safety and every week he's in a new position but safety is mismanagement.
DL is thin and hurt. But why? A couple players were suspended. Is it fair to ask why they felt the need to commit an infraction they assumed they would get away with (or maybe get the Arden Key special treatment) exposing others to injuries by having to carry a larger share?
We got down and then got behind further..and further...and further, showing an inability to come back by making a run. Earlier last week before MSU, O stated we don't need to run 4 WR sets, except we did for the first time when down 30 on the road. Mismanagement.
I could go on. The point is, I and we for whatever reason have chosen to write off glaring examples of program mismanagement by O. Again I was deaf dumb blind giving him the benefit of the doubt everytime. You don't just accidentally lose by 30 out of nowhere to a team we all expected to beat. I fear so many mistakes have been made that unless drastic changes are made quick a collapse to 4 or 5 loses is realistic.

If that was the final straw, go away. Stop buying tickets and donating money. Take your business elsewhere.

All you have to do is look at his resume as a permanent HC. Enough said.

OP makes a lot of good points.

That's a long and accurate list. I challenge anyone to name one item in the list that isn't viable.
I find it hard to believe there are so many downvoters.

If you follow DG on snapchat, it seems like 90% of his days are spent playing with the Jaguars on Madden 18.

It would be grasping for straws if we, I don't know, hadn't just lost by 30. If we lost by 30 bc MSU was better than us, then expect more losses. But for those of is who believe we are better than MSU let's choose to dig a lil deeper as to why and see if it can be fixed to prevent more 30 point losses
