Moorhead comments from Today...................

[99jc]

I know there was an elevated expectation level heading into the season for a myriad of reasons,? Moorhead said. ?From a historical context, we?re battling to get where we?ve never been since 1941. I understand the disappointment because of the expectation level, but reality is reality.?


The reality is we were ranked #1 not to long ago
The reality is you are a bust with your Shitty ass offense. 17 u.

[Cooterpoot]

Tell us how you really feel.

Lol...get em 99!

You forgot the best part: "There's really not a barometer for what it takes to win an SEC Championship in Starkville."


What a douche bag...

[RezDog7]

Man, never knew being ranked number 1 after beating a few mediocre teams would get us so much notoriety.

[RiverCityDawg]

Some of y'all are too sensitive. Oh, and he's right.

That's what I tell my wife after she gets upset when I say her ass is fat....LOL

Mullen winning 10 games with a shitload of NFL players has redefined our floor of acceptability apparently. Joe could have done a lot better but a lot of people want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

[RezDog7]

Don't y'all know, this team is so talented we would win 8 games with no coach. I'm thinking we should let elitedawgs call the plays Saturday. We could probably get a play in to Fitz in about the same amount of time as it takes the current staff. Hell, we don't even need a play book, just call Hill left or Hill right and we win by 3 touchdowns.

We could go old school Tecmo Bowl and have 4 plays. Honestly, we could still probably beat Ark like that.

Why is he a douchebag. He's 100% correct. And in order to attack things you want to achieve, you first have to be able to admit your failings. One of our biggest failings is that we don't know what it takes to win an SEC Championship because we never have. So he's 100% correct.

Why does that offend people?

Well, Joe needs to run his statements by somebody before he says shit like that. All he needs to say is that they've done a poor job installing their offense. Some of that is on the coaches, some of that is just a reflection of the fact that it was harder for the players becuase while they have a lot of talent on offense and good kids, they were a better fit for Mullen's offense and they were missing some key pieces to help the offense run that they will get in place for next year. Finito. Don't blow any bullshit. Just take responsibility with no excuses other than acknowleding that transitioning offenses is tough for the kids and the coaches weren't able to get it done.

I'm telling you, it's all Brandon Walker's fault for making us believe we were about win a championship.

You can't come in here and talk about trophies and ring sizes, get your ass handed to you in SEC play and then say "I understand the disappointment, but reality is reality. There's really not a barometer for what it takes to win an SEC Championship in Starkville."

[msstate7]

Joe also told these players to know their ring sizes and for fitz to clear off his mantle for a heisman.

Exactly. He helped build the expectations, and now doesn't wanna be held to the standard he said we'd meet.

If he really said what is quoted by 99jc and Doggie Style, those comments are extremely disappointing and makes me think Cohen should have chosen someone else for HC. Moorhead is responsible for the lack of offensive production, and that is reality.

I agree with that. I think that Joe is having a tough time dealing with the shot to his ego of his offense struggling against Good to Great SEC defenses.

The offense is talented enough (see the year prior) to avg more than 4 points per game vs ranked opponents. Croom in 2005 did better than that, 6.5 for that season vs ranked opponents.

This is what gets me. I don't mind the high expectations. In fact I welcome them. But when you tell Fitz he's gonna win the Heisman and other players that they need to know the ring sizes and none of that happens, you can't go back and say we've sucked our whole history and it's going to take some time.
