9.5 million a year for what? getting humiliated by Oregon and Michigan at home and barely beating Utah in the Rose Bowl? I didn't agree with it then.

I was never impressed with that hire tbh, the big 12 might be worse than the big 10 and isn't exactly known for elite defense either, his team performed well defensively against the sisters of the poor in Americas praireland but gave up huge runs and plays in the most important game of the year. Dude should be paid in Subway sandwiches and bus fare.

I know he won't be fired now, but I think it's just delaying the inevitable. He's lost the fan base.

this is THE worst loss in the 100-year-old history of the Shoe. Period.

I would say it's the complete abandonment of the running QB aspect of this offense. Even the NFL is making use of dual-threat mobile elusive QBs.

This season was NOT fun at all, even when we won it felt like we always could have done better. This team would get murdered by UGA and maybe even TCU.

Just soft (as in mentally weak, easily goaded into personal foul penalties and being distracted from the play) and undisciplined all around (all the penalties, miscues, dropped balls)
