[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 521140, member: 1776"] That was a crappy way to go out, but I think they basically maximized how many wins this year's team could get. The idea that GT should have won vs Duke and Pitt is laughable. GT never led in either of those games. Fans tend to remember games they think they should have won but forget the games they could have lost. GT was very fortunate to go 2-2 over its final 4 games. The offense basically stopped working the last 4 games of the season (after UNC). The most yards GT had in those 4 games was 305 against UVA (who had 403) and that was the only game it hit 30 points where with the D and ST teams scored 9 points. Against Miami GT had almost 1/4 of its offense on its 1st drive and scored 13 points off of Miami TO where GT's offense only produced 46 yds of offense. GT could very easily have lost to Miami and UVA and UVA was probably spitting mad they lost. The game against MN reminded me alot of the game against Pitt, except the D did a better job in the first half of keeping the score close, but then fell apart in the 2nd half. The offense never looked good as compared to some of the Pitt game. Unfortunately this year's offense tended to sputter anytime it faced a defense that provided a modicum of resistance. It had 3 good games against P5 opponents and they happened to be the 3 worst P5 defensive teams we played - L'ville, VT and UNC. Outside of those 3 games the offense basically failed to score more than 21 points. 9 points from D and ST against UVA and OT. 13 of 27 points against Miami due to Miami TO's deep in GT territory. I also think it was somewhat poor form for him to go off on the press afterwards. I remember talking to guys on the Navy board when we hired him. They mentioned when he was winning you would love him as the arrogant truth teller and fighter. But when he was losing his personality wears on the fanbase and press because that same attitude comes off as smug and condescending. The press is always going to ding you at times, but if you want to have good relations with them it is something you have to work on. [/QUOTE]
