As much as I was opposed to the decision to go for it on 4th and 2 feet early in the second Quarter, when Napier decided not to use either of our 2 backs which are as good as any two in the league and power it, instead of going for a trick play, it changed my belief in him as both a decision maker and as a play caller. Hiking the ball between the QBs legs is a play I used when my son was in PEEWEE Football. I was sitting in the endzone and as soon as the play began, you could see it was dead.

I have always believed that while you can never win a game by gambling in the 2nd Quarter, you can certainly loose it and any momentum we had acquired at that point in the game was gone. He certainly is a great recruiter (so was Muschamp), but my confidence of him being a top level play caller is gone. He scripts the first 15-20 plays and when the other coach makes adjustments, he has no clue. My question now is where do we go now?

Hire a big time OC and OL coach and probably a few other coaches. Have Napier try to be the ceo of the program and recruit. But don’t get cute and do something like hire a 29 year old DC again. This is the big time, act like it!

I agree. Sale is a retread at best. The QB staffer O'hara has zero big league experience. As much as I dislike Urban Meyer, at this point, I would consider him coming back. IF, Kiffin upsets UGA in Athens in a couple of weeks prepare for the drumbeat for him. I know; IF.

Kiffin can’t put together a functional defense and doesn’t seem to like recruiting high school all that much.

Now bringing urban back is what I’m here for.

We need Billy to be successful even if it takes a few years. Changing coaches right any time soon would be disaster for the program. Even discussing it is just venting and counter productive.

What if we delay the inevidible by waiting a few years and we keep getting the same results? Doesn't that set us back even more?
