Some of you guys comments make me scratch my head. Most felt this year was a BCS team, we were going to beat SC. But we failed because the coaching was terrible. Now those coachs are gone, we have what some think to be the best there is and we are predicting a 7-5 season. Something does not add up. If we had the talent last year to be a BCS team in your minds how did we drop so far this year.
The answer is that it was part coaching and part talent. We did not have the talent to go where we thought we would. Talent makes coaches look really good or really bad.
I think we have the offensive talent to be very good. I don't know about the defensive side of the ball though. I think Bo will stress that side more and expect to see some name players on offense being switched over. He is a quick strike type of coach. He wants speed on the defense. If he can not recruit it, he will get it one way or another. Just as BC did to the defense.
I think we will be better this year. But the statements above inicated that as much as we hated the last year, in actuality we kind of expected it. I have said for the last four years the talent is not there to play with the elite teams. BC was getting there, but to much importance was placed on the offense. I hope Bo sees the problem and does not react the same.
Don't get me wrong, I think the change was needed. I do feel if BC had gotten rid of Coz, and put more emphasis on the D he would still be here. His offense does work that is obvious. I do agree that the chemistry was destroyed this year. No matter what happened, they had to go at the end of the year. I still like BC and saw his vision. I hope that Bo looks at the situation and sees how a one sided team will not work. You can't put all your eggs in one baske so to speak. It has to be a happy medium. I have not nor am I Bo's biggest fan, I think he is smart enough to see that. I look for the talent to be spread around, maybe not this year due to the late recruiting situation, but next year we will see the recruting idea change.
