Guidry Opts Out

[Todd4State]

yep ... had to bite my tongue as well ..... everyone wanted him to sign with us and now ...... Sorry but I just had to chomp down again

I'm kind of conflicted with players like him. On one hand I think he probably could and should have worked harder and he would have been a better player. And that's on him. However, I think someone like Leach would have made him work harder and wouldn't have coddled him and that's Joe's fault.

He seemed like a complete drama queen the entire time he was here and that's OK- but if you're going to act like that you better perform.

I don't know much about our assistant coaches, but did poor position coaching play a role in his and other WRs inconsistent play?

IMO I think it was a combination of poor recruiting by Gonzalez who was OK as a coach and I do think poor coaching by the assistants after him played a role too. But I think the bottom line underlying issue was accountability by the previous coaching staff. According to an interview with Nick Fitzgerald he said that some of the players took Moorhead's laid back approach as weak and took advantage of it. I think that was true of the WR position. I do think Moorhead played favorites with Guidry despite him dropping multiple passes and should have played Javonta Payton over him more than he did. That may have been enough of a wake up call for Guidry to perform better. And if the players don't respect Moorhead the position coach is also going to have a hard time earning respect no matter how good of a coach they actually are. I think that happened to a large degree with our S&C too which I believe is an extension of what goes on the field during the game. That's where you develop work ethic and if the coach is letting players slide and having all indoor practices I think it's a lot harder to build that toughness a SEC team needs to win at a high level unless your team has a ton of Barrin Simpson types that can police people. Which is not common.

Gonzalez did a poor job of recruiting like many of Dan's assistants on the offensive side of the ball. Yes, Osirus has taken a lot of heat for dropping that pass against Florida and that comes with the territory of playing in the SEC. But let's be honest here- do you really want a redshirt freshman at the time trying to catch the most critical pass target of the year? And why did we have to start a redshirt freshman? Because we missed on a ton of targets for 3-4 years and had no choice but to start him.

Letting things slip through his hands is what he does best!

If there is someone that probably could Not CATCH Covid ... it would be this dude
