Are we unique in this aspect? If we were to watch another team's film in-depth like this, might we see the same thing? Would SC look similar? Would you find the same thing was happening for Ole Miss, Auburn, Kentucky, etc? Maybe even UGA, LSU and Alabama too, except maybe their talent makes it easier to gloss over mental errors? I don't know enough to answer these questions, but I'm curious what someone who studies more college football thinks.
I think we're poorly coached on both sides of the ball from watching us.

Sure, some time to adjust was expected on offense. However, there are a lot of things that stick out like a sore thumb. There were a lot of teams that are installing a new offense this year in the SEC- which is a big reason why losing Leach was so big. We would be in year four with more WR talent than we have ever had. As it is we leveled the playing field because of the decision of our coaches. And the fact is that despite other teams installing new offenses ours has performed worse than most and we seem to look very sloppy. South Carolina for example is also installing a new scheme and they looked a lot cleaner than us.

Defense- yes, I agree that we lack speed and talent however Arnett learning to be a head coach while also trying to manage that side of the ball at least to a degree along with Brock who is also a first year DC adds to the struggles.

I'm pretty sure we're 3-1 at this point with Leach with a much more competitive loss to LSU or perhaps even a close win with the experience we have and a defense focused Arnett.
