Ridiculous to give him any higher than an F. 2-10 (worse than any year Croom ever had), 0-8 in the SEC (never even had a single-digit loss), got completely dominated and humiliated by a 7-5 MAC team, full of moments of incredible stupidity, low football IQ, and boneheadedness. There's just not a single positive to take away from this season, not a single glimmer of hope or optimism looking at the future.

I get that Arnett left him in a bind with the talent, but there's no excuse to be this disgraceful. NIL and the Portal are leading to non-prestigious programs all over the country being much more competitive with the Elites and reinventing themselves over one offseason. It could have been us too, but instead we are the worst Power Conference team by a significant margin (other than maybe Purdue?).

And why are we in this situation? Because our lazy Athletic Director promised us a national search and then just hired his buddy who no head coaching experience, a guy that our fans already disliked from his years at Ole Miss, and who had some ... baggage ... that prevented any other school from ever hiring him as a head coach.

We're stuck with him for one more year, but without some kind of shocking turnaround, we'll be looking for a new head coach a year from now.
