Yep, Mason Miller or Spurrier could have just run the system the players had been running for four years and coasted to 8-9 wins with that schedule. just insane blunder after insane blunder.Totally agree but the thing none of us can get away from was that he died. It sucked, but it happened.
Where I lost faith in our leadership is when we hired Arnett instead of Spurrier Jr, or at minimum hiring Arnett with the caveat that he keeps the entire staff. Leach deserved that much. Instead, we hired out of fear (that Arnett would leave), and to pacify the RuNdAbAwL mouth breathers. And we got what we got. I mean we had grown men around here saying it was Arnett’s program etc, we need to let him run it, and only a lame brain couldn’t see that this was a stopgap thing. And stopgap is ok, as long as you continue what you were being successful with, which we didn’t, and apparently Arnett told us he wouldn’t, and our leadership agreed, because muh RuNdAbAwL.
We will see on Lebby but it sure certainly SEEMS that we made the easy hire to again, try to mimick Ole Miss.
Remember - that same leadership wanted to keep Moorhead because we won the Egg Bowl over a shltty Ole Miss who essentially gifted us the game.
We literally couldn’t have handled it any worse. At one time, our leadership was great, just what we needed. But we lost track and went back to the same ole Miss stake.
The key result is Arnett and the mouth breathers nuked the program at its most vulnerable time with the NIL and Portal, momentum etc. it dug a hole thats Going to take years of effort just to get back to 6-6.
the Writing is on the wall.
