If Kinchens & JWill had stayed, do we make the CFP?

[SinCityCane]

Kam alone would have made a huge difference vs GT & Cuse, who roasted our secondary to no end. This defense was so lost, having him back there would have been a game changer. This doesn't change the fact that Guidry has to go, but the D looked a lot better last year with the better Safeties.

 

[CaneLife93]

In short...yes

 

[BS85]

Absolutely

 

[Bird4um]

Then Guidry isn’t the problem.

 

[TheU1984]

I think we’re undefeated if we have those guys back there. They turn our abysmal secondary into a stellar group. LTIII would’ve made a difference too. Doesn’t excuse Guidry though. Not always going to have NFL talent

 

[Gocanes1990]

1000% if they are healthy all year

 

[grover]

Absolutely. And that shows just how close we were. Now we need to go find their replacements but also somehow replace a Heisman level QB and our most productive slot receiver in program history. Make it happen Mario.

 

[Phydeaux]

Y E S. Even if only one stood.

The reason our defense sucked is because our safeties were so terrible (mostly Harris). Powell should've been our Nickel, not in the back making calls. The thing about it (i've mentioned it in another thread). Harris isn't a freshman, neither is Markeith Williams. Both of them sat behind JW and Kam last year, both of them learned this defense last year, neither was prepared to take over and start in their 2nd year of the defense after looking up to Kam/JW. That's on their position coach, which, falls directly on Guidry's shoulders. Safety led defense, and he can't prepare or develop the younger dudes after a full year under his tutelage?

 

[Yoyo423]

Yes as an undefeated #2 seed

 

[Canesfreak]

Then Guidry isn’t the problem.

 

[OldhamA]

Yes BUT to be an actual relevant College team, rather than a TCU / Washington flash in the pan you have to be able to overcome talented Juniors leaving for the NFL.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

No Mario would have found another way to ***** us

 

[atlcane72]

What good is Cam blitzing on third and long leaving CBs on islands where they have not excelled

Lot of short term memories. Cam cost us last year against GT. They weren’t a great safety combo, either.

GUIRY is definitely the problem. Those 2 would have helped but they made plenty of bonehead plays last year.

Safeties regressed under Guidry

Unless they just suck

 

[McGahee2TheHouse]

Lmao

I disagree. They would have helped us overcome the coaching deficiencies.

Very much like the SEC in most years. It doesn’t matter how bad the teams (coaching) are if you got support system (ESPN) that will help get you over the hump.
