Jimmy Johnson let his assistants do their job and they succeeded into future successes. Butch Davis, Dave Wannstedt, Tommy Tuberville all were successful beyond the U. Who on our staff aspires to that kind of greatness or rather possesses the talent to move up? Maybe Dawson, or at least he was thought of before our collapse.
Something was obvious all year long, bad teams shredded our defense and it seemed inevitable we'd suffer the consequences. At least Manny brought in Lashlee and now we have to deal with SMU. What if anything improved?
We heap blame on the DB's and kept saying when injured players return, well Hurricanes in the past used and trusted their reserves. We are used to seeing backups come in and perform better than the player they subbed for. That is where coaching comes in, preparation in advance. I observed failures at LB as teams ran through our defense and a DL that couldn't bring pressure or stop the run. Did we see adjustments? Did any group improve? We've had some brilliant coaches but not lately. Quality coaches used to fight to get work with the U and our depth of talent, well we have the talent but no one of quality to exploit our talent.
I've harped on ST's and we are about to waste a decent Punter and a super Field Goal Kicker. When is the last time we had a return for a TD, how often did teams return against us? It’s all these supposed small things that separate the good from the great. Our only seemingly dominate position has been OL. I hope Mario has plans to improve our staff, otherwise prepare for more disappointments.
