we need to really look at what does need to be done with this program. What is working and what is not.
What is working - Shane is doing really well all things considered in recruiting. We are doing really well right now but losing alot in a row will hurt.
Shane cares about the players and they really like him. I think most respect him and that is biggest key but they at least like him.
Shane knows the fans are a big part of it and is trying to connect fans and team as much as possible.
What isnt working - Shanes hiring of assistants has been overall less than stellar. I have gotten 99% of the way to saying Teasley is NOT working for o-line. That one percent is held out hope it will turn around but doubtful. The offensive coordinator hires have been really bad and to do this on top of muschamp debacle of OC hires makes it more frustrating. I think Loggains is a great guy but it is not working at all. We need to move Elliot to full time o-line coach and get a better OC that at least makes the games exciting. If we are going to lose cant it at least be like the LSU game where it was 36-33 and the offense did a few good things rather than 27-3 where offense was as bad as possible.
Shane is liked by the players but the respect part I mentioned is bigger. If they respect him they will not do the stupid things they do like Stewarts machine gun non-sense. I know Shane doesnt promote that and is about class but if players dont respect him then they wont listen. As much as I hate to say it, if you want their attention and respect, enforce discipline and that means tell Stewart he will not play against Alabama and then tell others if they act that way, they will not play as well. It will stop that non-sense.
Shane tries to tell us what he thinks we want to hear but we are tired of hearing it. He needs to quit saying they need to coach better and all that and actually COACH better. Talk is cheap, as they say. Stop telling us what is wrong and do something about it. Saying the same thing over and over falls on deaf ears anymore.
I like Shane and truly want him to succeed but as much as it pains me to say this, he needs to go to the Dabo school of CEO coaching. Go get genuine top of the line coaches and then let them do their thing and you handle the media and fan obligations and close in recruiting. Dabo was successful because of Venables, Morris, Elliot, etc. Shane needs to cut ties with coaches not working and go get the best he can find, not experiments.
