Culture change with changing players. U can't just change culture u need players. It's a nice way to say our players suck instead they say culture change. So I expect not this years roster but the following to see true savagery beginning.

I think there are 2 things and they both can and are likely true.

Clearly, the talent level wasn't there, but we see plenty of less talented teams play at a high level.

The culture is a big issue. A lot of guys didn't buy in and we saw it on Saturdays. There's no way a team with any kind of self pride gets smoked at home by FSU, Duke, and MTSU.

When the right culture is in place, the players police themselves and hold each other to a high standard. The coaches don't have to do anything. That wasn't the case this past season. I think it was reported that some players were laughing and carrying on when Mario was talking to the team after a loss.

I actually spent some time rewatching TVD stuff from the good and the bad. I’m no X and O guru or expert but it doesn’t take an expert to see part of the problem was trust

Not just trust in his receivers but trust in the offense in general

TVD didn’t “regress” (I ******* hate that term)

He’s still talented as ****. But when you watch the Lashlee games TVD relied heavily on Rambo and Harley. He was just letting it fly to those guys at times because he knew he could. It let him be who he can be.

He didn’t have that last year and it all kinda snowballed on him. Not taking all the responsibility off of him but it was like watching him overthink **** near everything last year. That’s not good for any QB.

I want to see him be given the tools to succeed because he’s without a doubt our most talented QB we’ve had in recent memory

I would say his physical, technical and tactical coactives were all down from the year prior.

He looked heavy and slow, lost his little bit of quickness he had in '21
His technique took a dive. Balance was off, wrist was off
The playbook killed him.
There's a reason Ponce is also gone.
