It’s embarrassing at times. I wanted to highlight this point because while everything else was on the money as usual, this needs addressing.
The people making endless excuses for Mario and defending the longer process/rationalizing close defeats are worse fans than the ones that call it like it is - a 6-5 team hampered by poor gameday decisions and an inept, outdated offensive approach. A head coach that’s under .500, and 5-10 in a weak, weak conference.
There’s no swagger, there’s no desire to be great again, there’s no passion or fire. There’s constant spinning of close losses and moral victories. There’s rationalizations of mediocre recruits, sheep-ish nature regarding 3-star evaluations, something that we saw under Manny, and under Golden, and under Richt, and under Shannon…
I criticize because I want to be great again. Others cope and rationalize because it not only makes them feel better, but avoids the hard-hitting questions when all the data is LITERALLY right under their noses. Their biggest fear is if Mario can’t do it, no one can…
All it takes is some innovation and actually winning on the field, and recruiting takes care of itself. The sooner y'all stop making excuses for .500 play (or in terms of conference record, 33% lol), the better.
