Good Lord, man. You going gay for Satterfield was not on my bingo card. Football is headed in the right direction. Misguided discourse isn’t necessary. Put that energy towards our idiot basketball coach.
football was headed in the right direction with satts, how can you say having a top 55 recruiting class is better than a top 20 one? we had the best incoming class until we let him go. Jb didn;t improve upon that so how is direction getting better with worse recruiting?
and not gay for satts, it's more that our leadership doesn't stick with a winner. it's the exact same situation as David Padgett. He won and yet we kicked him to the curb because AD and fans thought we could do better and now look at us, we're the laughing stock of college basketball. well, we did the same thing to satts, was a winner but couldn't beat uk so we kicked him to the curb thinking we could do better. it's the principle of it. i didn't think he was the greatest coach btu we were trending upward and finished in the top 25 last year. Top 25 with the best recruting class coming in and our easiest schedule. i swear we would have gone 11-1 this year if we had kept him. Piece Clarkson would have been our QB, would have had the #2 RB in the country, a top rated D, and an easty schedule. I believe that';s waht you call trending upward, not droppign down to a 55th ranked class. but we did let him go knowing we had an easy schedule next year, our best recruiting class in history, and we beat the most top 25 teams of anyone in the country except GA.
the problem is we have been and always will be a 2nd tier football school. but our fans are delusional thinking we're some kind of top 10 program when we've never even had a single top 25 recruiting class. JB has come in and given us a top 55 recruiting class and i call BS in the thinking that he is come kind of savior. this year we beat who we were supposed to beat, lost to teams better than us, and choked twice against teams with their 3rd string qb. so tell me folks, what has JB done for us that Satt's woudln't have except the basic bs coachspeak JB gives at every presser. he says the same thing over and over. gonna work hard, yeah well so is every other team in the country.
that's my point, JB has not shown that we upgraded and i don't see why we fired a winning coach. we scored 4 more points a game this year against a vastly weaker schedule than we had last year which would mean we probably would have scored even more if satts had stayed.
if you think we did better than show me the proof that he accomplished more with us having our weakest schedule since being in C-USA. i'm just telling the truth. i didn't love satt's but he won and was tredning upward as you say. and we kicked him to the curb, just like we kicked Padgett to the curb. same process. and same results. and again, next years schedule will make or break JB. i hope we succeed but i have a feeling we have not improved at all. we will still be the same top 35 teams we've always been and if recruiting isn't in the top 50, why would any one expect us to beat teams with better recruits?
again, why did we let Satt's go? because he lost to uk and you didn't like his attitude. we fired him only because everyone has had this boner for JB and regretfully he goes limp a couple times during a season and cannot perfrom under pressure. what's that pressure going to do to him next year when we lost a few more games.
you;ve just bought into his salesmanship, but the results are that we had a super weak schedule, we choked vs pitt with 3rd string qb, we choked vs uk and we choked vs fsu with 3rd string qb. and JB took the blame for all those losses. BTW WE LOST TO UK AGAIN ON OUR HOME FIELD WHEN UK WAS THE WEAKEST IT'S BEEN IN YEARS. PONDER THAT, YOU'RE DREAM COACH FFFING LOST TO OUR RIVAL AGAIN ON HIS BEST CHANCE TO WIN. we will probably lose at kroger field next year so imagine what the pressure will be in two years to beat uk on our home field? and what if he loses again. maybe three years in a row and uk runsit 8 straight. so if jb can't beat uk next year leadership should make a change again as obviously winning is not the issue, it's jsut beating uk that seems to our issue. can't beat them in bball oir football so fire the coach.
and btw, on the bball coach i was 100% against hiring KP, he had no experience and thought we were fools to do so. again, as with i think 99.97% of my posts, i was right. just like this post. i am right. you are just to starry eyed for what JB was as a player. but judge him now becasue UK beat us on our home field again. and we lsot to two 3rd string qb's. now top 20 program shoudl do that. and btw, uk wasn't ranked either.
