Winning games won’t make me feel better. I said after the UT game, and I got a lot of [ Cumbie’s red zone playcalling ] for it, that I didn’t feel confident about the direction of our program.
What he says to the media says a lot, and in this case matches up to what we see on the field. So off days, bye weeks. They all matter because this program is nowhere near where it used to be.
You can see it in their preparedness, the tackling, the fire, the fundamentals, the discipline, etc. We played better football with lesser talent in the past. Yes, we played less talented teams, so our margin of error now is lower.
Tell me when in the past three to four years have we played a complete game? Where all phases of our team were competent?
You won’t find one.
That comes from the top.
