Lots of revisionist history going on these days.
We are bad. We are not Croom bad. It's actually hard work to be that bad.

The fact that its only 33 is pretty damning
We are in an offensive age where everyone scores points?..except for us
Here's the issue. We were in a worse spot when Croom took over than when Arnett took over. Arnett now has us near Croom levels (in wins and offense) when offenses score way more points than Croom.
That in and of itself is proof enough that Arnett is at minimum just as bad Croom.
I assume we were all in college at the same time, because, I too, attended all of these abominations.
This team isn't as bad as those, but the last 3 weeks it's been trending in that direction. Arnett also inherited more than Croom in year 1.
However, Croom is undefeated in terrible. He drove myself (and Bucky, apparently) to binge drink.
Heck, look at the records over the Shira years, even. He won SEC COY his only winning season when we went 6-5 I think. I've seen this terrible play before with Shira, Felker, Jackie's ( but NCAA/OM situation didn't help at all), last 3 years, Croom, JoMo (winning a few ain't everything) and now in over his head along with most of staff CZA. Time to move along and show a true commitment to current players, future players, future coaches and fans in FB ASAP!
Croom passed out asleep on a couch at a recruiting visit at a player's home. I passed out from boredom trying to watch his "West Coast Offense" at many games.*** JoMo, stayed on the edge of my seat wordering if he would finally get his genuis offensive play in with time for our QB to get it off before play clock ran out. He seemed to always leave time for a 5-4-3-2-1 count for the opposing team to tee off on our OL and QB. All happy memories that fit in so well today.**** NOT!
Scored more in 2020 with a true freshman backup QB. So ... not to this level of drop off, especially against these putrid Ds we're facing this year.
That was not allowed as an excuse back then either. And besides, we have TEs now and Barbay (or whoever calls the O) promised to adapt to available personnel regardless.
Name me a single player, position or unit that has looked good under this "coaching" staff. ST, if you don't count the punter we went all the way to Australia or New Zealand or somewhere to get a 35 ypp average. Square peg, veteran players being pounded into a round hole offense, ala JoMo.
