Most of the time your record speaks to the type of team you are. Not in this case we may be 9-1, but we are an undercoached team, playing a mediocre schedule, who has won most games simply on athletic ability of our players. There may have been a few moments here or there throughout the season where the coaching/adjustments made a difference, but honestly we just had better athletes the our opponents most nights. With little exception, maybe ECU, I don't understand why were not able to step on the gas and pull away from some far inferior opponents. I guess the coaching staff just does not have the killer instinct. Conservatism on a Tony Dungy level at this point. Do enough on offense to win the game and rely on the defense to continue to run out onto the field after 3 to 5 play drives after multiple runs between the tackles and a streak pattern.
My level of frustration makes me feel like we should be 1-9, not the other way around.
That said, all can be forgiven (I guess) with a couple more wins (highly unlikely). Hate to sound like such a Debbie Downer, but I just see us getting our rear ends handed to us next week by that Orlando team. Good on them if they do it. Their coach hasn't shied away from running a high powered offense.
I guess we maybe can see why CCS got run from UT. Maybe it wasn't him necessarily, it was his crappy OC.
