That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it's not just on the SEC coaches - the lower level coaching needs vast improvement to improve the skills of the player pool that the SEC draws from. If coaches have to spend half their time on jr. high fundamentals it takes away from other things.

I don't like Ray's offensive approach at all and I've commented in numerous threads about that. But you have to admit there are other things at work as well.
