First, it's fine to be upset but watch where you put blame.
Some blame the coaches but understand this is only one season and 5 games for the offense and only 5 games for the defense.
Let's look at the offense first. Why did half the people think our offense would be better. Go back at the preseason People were happy with the offense the last half of the year. But why? We scored 23 against Miami but that took a dumb move by their coaching staff. Then we scored 23 against Boston and lost the game fact Boston College did not have a good defense, at that time they were given up 31.8 points per game. Then we scored 46 against UNC which was good, but UNC defense was no better than ours. Then we scored 31 against Syracuse which we could have scored more if our defense could have stopped a team without a QB. Last 23 against uga which was the most uga had scored on their defense.
Now don't get me wrong our offense was lots better than the year before. Last year was Buster Faulkner first year and the players first year running his offense. It's not like we are Alabama and loaded with all 5- and 4-star players, it takes time to get better.
Then some said at the start of the year we will have one of the best OL in the ACC, because we averaged over 200 yards last year. Maybe the other teams were more worried about our passing game. Remember last year other teams didn't know what our offense will be like or anything to base in on till about mid-season. This year they know what we run. The real question is how much of the playbook are we using.
And now the defense, this coaching staff has only been together 5 games if you don't think they are not better than the last 5 years not much I can't say much to you. You still need to give them time to get their players in they need, you got to see our tackling is better this year.
Now the Head coach, some people ain't never going to be happy cause they think the one they wanted didn't give the job. Just like the players they need time. Coach Key was not my first choice, but Saban didn't want the job and it's my understanding that John Heisman would return the calls. But I like Coach Key and think he has done a great job so far. Has he done everything I would, no but if they worked out everyone would think he was a genius, and you have to show the player you trust them. recruiting is better than in the past few years and these coaches are having to learn things like the portal NIL which O'Leary and Ross didn't to worry about now it's a 365-day job to recruit new players and also recruit your players again.
I know some on here will think I full of sh*t but that's fine I'll start drinking again at 10 am late start no game today,
