This seems to be the place to vent about our head coach and the state of the program so here goes....
Count me as another one who certainly didn't have playoff expectations for this team at the start of the season. I actually expected us to take a small step back because of our turnover on defense and would have considered a 9 or 10 win season a great year and been thrilled with it. I still would.
After the Sugar Bowl vs. Georgia I thought we had really rounded the corner as a team. I didn't think we were 'back' on the national stage yet but felt we had established an identity and that our kids and staff had this thing by the reins. They don't. The team is just 'off', the defense is a wreck, and at a school that should never have a coach who needs to learn on the job Tom Herman seems to be doing a lot of it in year three. Regardless, he isn't going anywhere and will be our coach next year.
I don't think his job security should be in question at the moment but I don't feel the same way about all members of the staff. We've got bigger issues here than player inexperience or injuries. I'm going to withhold further judgement until the end of this season and feel it will be quite telling whether Tom Herman willingly makes any staff changes or not.
