[QUOTE="gt02, post: 758668, member: 706"] You said let's look at the "larger picture," and then you literally just drew your conclusion from the same thing: a single game against a Minnesota team that would go on to win 11 of its next 13 games, including against #4 Penn State and and #12 Auburn. Keep in mind that CPJ was a lame duck coach at that point, as he had already announced his resignation. Having said that, you don't need to respond with the usual cherry picked facts (our W/L vs. Duke, our overall record the past ten years if you exclude the years we were good, our overall record the past ten years if you exclude the years we had someone else's recruits such as a walk-on center that went on to become all conference, etc.). I also don't need any more discussion of the eye-ball test, which is code for saying that you don't have any real data to back up your point. I am not here to compare CGC to CPJ (although CPJ would have a 8-10 win team with the talent at the skill positions on this team, no question). My fundamental problem with our team is not that we are losing, and it is not that we are getting out athlete-d. I expected that, and I give GC a pass on that until we get his players. What I did not expect is a a coach and team that just looks in over its head. We look poorly coached out there. We can keep blaming the players if we want, but if you are the coach, the buck stops with you. And again, I am not suggesting that we would turn to the bench and all of a sudden have a 6'6 300lb tackle. But the fundamentals look lost with these guys. So please, please explain to me how a SR LB constantly out of position, not knowing his assignments, not knowing when to commit to a scrambling QB, etc. is a problem from the prior regime. These are all mental errors. Please tell me how the prior regime's "train wreck" causes us to use timeouts at the worst time. Or how they cause us to think that on 4th and short, we are better off running up the gut against the number 1 team in the nation. Or how they cause us to not be able to make a FG anymore. The list could go on. [/QUOTE]
