The magic number is 0

Postby George S. Patton » Sat Oct 27, 2007 11:16 pm

Again, I really don't know why anyone should be hurt, disappointed or upset.

We have seen this far too much from a program led by a coaching staff that doesn't know how to win and doesn't foster that atmosphere with this team.

I think this group can play with anyone in the conference but the coaching staff has no idea how to run a ballgame -- see the first possession of the game on the missed 49-yard FG.

When the move is made either this week or after the Houston game, you can only hope that Steve Orsini has the means an resources to find the right replacement and the faculty will be shown the door when it comes to its influence on how athletics should be run in this university.

I think you owe PhirePhil an apology.

I was really hopeful that this club could get something done, and I really thought that Phil had the program moving in the right direction.

I was surprised he survived last year. The Tech game I was willing to go the other way on that because we never have matched up with them.

The UNT game was alarmingly bad and thoughts of this staff really not getting it became apparent.

And then everything in Jonesboro pretty much told me this season was over because the dye had been cast. TCU confirmed it with all of the sideline chaos we showed.

I think PhriendofPhailure's perspective was shared by several. I didn't share it until late September.

I feel bad for our players. But let's face it, I would submit to that since the UTEP game, they have been playing for each other and not this coaching staff.
