It feels different with Leach. It's either gross incompetence, indifference, or stubborness. To not evolve or adapt your system to attack the same defense that we have faced every single week since the LSU game is maddening. We have had 2 bye weeks and nothing. It's completely unfair to all of the players and fans. He is not putting them in a position to be successful and he has to know he's not. The only conclusion I can reasonably make is that he either doesn't give a damn or he is too incompetent to make adjustments.
Well there were some adjustments made against Vandy that lead to 17 quick points when they were rushing 3, dropping 8. After they stopped that and started bringing 4 or 5, those adjustments didn't work anymore. Not excusing everything, but there literally were some adjustments that actually worked. Problem now is that we're playing a true freshman QB, true freshmen RBs, constant shuffle at OL and very few/no playmakers at WRs. The games to win were the Ark and UK games but poor QB play and crap OL play did us in.

But let's be honest, we're 6 games in during a crazy COVID year and you're declaring this a decided failure because that was your thought as soon as the hire was made. It's bias confirmation for you. Not that it's not good now, of course it's not, but that it's never going to be turned around. We simply don't know the medium/long term outlook and anyone saying so is biased and/or just guessing just as much as those saying it's definitely going to be turned around.
