Is there any actual evidence regarding "locker room turmoil," or why Ahmmon was benched? Or are we just supposed to take some random post on a message board by someone whose name you're likely to find in the credits to a **** film as gospel?
How many of you wanted Butch gone after Chafie Fields and Penn State got us in the OB with a young Ed Reed back there in the secondary? Richt may or may not be the answer. Who knows? I sure as **** don't. But calm down. He inherited a dumpster fire, and is slowly making things respectable again. Most of you live in a fantasy world that we are just going to go back to being the 80s, early 90s, and early 2000s juggernaut from one day to the next. We may get there, we may not. I hope we do. But, again who the **** knows. If we do though, it's going to be a process. As fat Al use to say, trust the process.
We just started year 3 of the CMR era. Yeah it was a gut punch. Yeah, I'd rather have watched that from my couch instead of witnessing that beating live, and I live in Dallas. So I feel for everyone that made the trip. At least the tailgating was fun.
But everyone calm the F**k down. We have many more issues than just how bad Malik looked. Although, yeah, saying he looked like dog **** last night and over the last 4 games is probably sugar coating it. We are basically just starting to build the foundation of what will hopefully be a great football team.
We probably need a few more recruiting classes and a little more development out of our players. Guys like Herbert, Gaynor, Hillary, and the freshmen need to stay in the weight room and keep developing their bodies. The Donaldsons of the world are a rarity. Normally linemen need a few years of S&C to get up the level they need to be at.
With respect to Malik, what is more alarming than how bad he looked is that we don't have anyone better than him at this point. I see a lot of calls for Perry. He cant even lock up the QB2 spot though. What makes you think he will be anything half decent as QB1. Maybe I am wrong, but it could be possible that our best option is to bide time with Malik until Williams knows enough of the playbook to turn him loose.
It is just 1 game, and not even a conference game at that. We have three winnable games before FSU to get things straightened out. Our coaches have shown the ability to re-group. Lets hope that happens. So lets go out and let our play on the field do the talking. We have everything left to play for still. We win the coastal and we have a shot at the playoffs. The reality of the situation with our football program is that that is the best its going to get right now....put ourselves in position to play for the ACC championship and let the chips fall how they may.
Eventually, we will get to the point that we can go into that game (ACC Ship and Playoff) expecting to win. That isn't the case yet. Stop *****ing and enjoy football season before it's February again.
