2. The lack of discipline, and lack of accountability for off-the-field problems.
This team would be great, if it were a team. It seems like they are just a bunch of players with the same goal, no team chemistry.
Who is to blame?
Who else can you blame but Fulmer? I don't think that he should be fired, but I would expect the AD to step in and force stricter punishments for players who get out of line. I would also force Fulmer to choose one QB and stay with him through thick and thin. You have to put up with mistakes when you play a young QB, deal with it, let Ainge learn and in 2 years you will have an all-american, and a shot at the NC. |
The someone else you can blame is the OC Randy Sanders. You can blame Fulmer for hiring/not firing him, but Sanders offense is way too predictable. You can get away with this against lesser talented teams but not against teams with equal or more talent.
As for the QB's, I just don't see how you can leave a QB in the game when he will just throw it up for grabs from his own endzone, i.e. Ainge/LSU. Clausen was put in to not make mistakes. Against UGA he made 2 inexcusable turnovers. I do agree I wouldn't continue to shuffle QB's, I wouldn't play either one and go with the next in line.
