listening to it right now.
What is the light at the end of the tunnel? I don't even see one.
I wish his ability to make adjustments was half as good as his ability to quote.Quote:

Good coming this week... whenever I beat a drum this hard, it always comes back to make me look silly. I really hope this is the caseQuote:

Please) and we were already set up for the short term and certainly better for the long term than we look right now.
I sort of feel like his "fire" the last couple of weeks during interviews is forced. I think he is trying to show the fans he can be hard but I am not sure he can.Quote:

Dude you took over a very good program that has been to 8 straight bowl games, not the worst team in the conference.
Our football program after that conference:

I'm sure "champions of life" is right around the corner
I tend to be an optimist to a fault, but I still believe that he's a smart guy and he'll figure it out. Maybe not this year, which would suck given the talent we'd be wasting, but not much to be done about it now. But he's been successful everywhere he's been in every role he's been given, and that's not suddenly going to stop here. He's got a good system that I think will be fine in the SEC if he can recruit enough of the right players for it. And who knows, the light bulb might come on and we can salvage some good wins from this season.
He clearly doesn't get it.Quote:

I think we'll have a better idea by season's end.Quote:

Well he gonna continue to jam that square peg.
Moorhead is what we call "a good interview" in business. He is a dynamic, personable speaker. Unfortunately, good interviewers don't always translate to success. In fact, its typically the opposite.
My 1st stick buddy in Flight school was an MIT areo engineer. Smart as sh(* in aerodynamics, but couldn't chew gum and walk at the same time and he couldn't fly worth a shit. Just because your smart don't mean you can apply it in a reallife situation.Quote:

Moorhead is struggling implementing a new offense and being a HC at the same time. Hindsight is 20/20 but it appears he shoulda hired Knox as OC and slowly implemented his new offense over time.
He's preparing us for next year......this year.Quote:

Brian Elliot called the plays in the bowl game, not KnoxQuote:

That should be a reality kick to the crotch for Moorhead. A lifelong RB coach and a bunch of grad assistants with a freshman QB making his first start beat Petrino and a heisman winning QB and only had 15 practices to put it all together.Quote:

NT
He's 2 games into a bad stretch and we don't buynwhat he's saying and know for a fact he can't make adjustments.
If he turns this thing around I would appreciate all of you that have buried this team to remain away from it.
Be pretty sad when the stadium is half full. You want us to lose half our fan support? Awesome takeQuote:

I don't believe Moorhead would survive his first season if we go 4-8 and we get blown out by Ole Miss. I just don't see it. Our class would slip to the 40s, and transfers would be lining up. People need to think about that.
If that happen he needs to be terminated. 4-8 is unacceptable. This was a top 15 team. This is not a dumpster fire rebuild from a crappy coach that was here for three or four years.Quote:

Well, I was never impressed with a Mullen press conference, so I'd put the press conference to coaching correlation at zeroQuote:
