Culture is bad, but Mario absolutely **** the bed with Gattis. Hard to get buy in when you go multiple games without scoring a touchdown. This team looks no better at anything from the beginning of the year. We will see what Mario learned after the offseason.
Culture started deteriorating shortly after the loss to Ohio State in 2002 while Larry Coker still the HC and never recovered for almost 20 years. It's been bad under Shannon, Golden and terrible under Diaz. But we never performed this badly during all those "bad culture years" And isn't it the head coach's responsibility to get the best out his even bad players? To at least hold the "culture" from getting more rotten? Where is Waldo...I meant Mario?
I would say our loss to fiu is worse than anything we saw this year
If the culture was "terrible under Diaz," which it undeniably was, it would follow that a team comprised mostly of Manny Diaz players would be the most culturally rotten of the past 20 years.
I would also argue the UNC game is the worst performance from a defense I’ve ever witness, & that includes the 58-0 debacle to Clemson.
That was one of the most embarrassing performances I’ve ever witnessed by a unit. I can’t recall another game where basically 2 or 3 plays had that much success consistently over 4 quarters. Over and over and over again, with no adjustments or answer for it. We knew what play they were going to run and they still ran it up our a$$.
