It has absolutely nothing to do with pre-game predictions. IT has to do with in-game decisions that have cost us big.

Off the top of my head, stepping off the gas too soon at AU. Pulling Fitz from the S. Bama game. Running LP up-the-middle over and over and over for little-to-no gain. It's about doing the same damn thing with Holloway. It's about running Dak up-the-middle into the teeth of a Bama defense when it was stuffed every time. It's about trotting a mentally shot kicker out there over and over and over when he's proven multiple times he's going to choke. It's about doing the same damn thing with another kicker n another year. It's about getting the ball back with 50 seconds and all 3 time-outs in the first half, then taking a knee. It's about having a game plan that is working great...hasn't been stopped....then killing a drive because he just had to get "cute" or show his imagination.

I'm not going to try and find game film to point out the precise games and plays I'm talking about just to satisfy your ass. That would take hours upon hours. I suspect you know damn well what I'm talking about. If you don't plenty of others do.
That's what I thought. You're just Monday-morning quarterbacking and like to bitch.

Dan has his faults. Half of this season just sucked. But, he does a lot of important things the right way. Things that have nothing to do with wins and losses.

He's probably about a top 20 coach but has that possibility of getting us into the playoff because of his QB coaching. I don't think he'll be here forever, but I would love to see him make a couple of runs over the next 4-5 years.

Between the OM indiscriminate cheating and Saban sitting 80 miles away, I don't blame him for listening to offers. He probably sees one of those thorns in the side is about to go away, and with Fitz coming on and Thompson coming in things are looking up.

Dan Wolken was asked the other day, who is the 2nd best coach in the SEC. He said Mullen. But he thinks Dan should move on to a "program that could contend". I would like Dan to stay here and change that perception.
