Can’t delegate responsibility. The buck stops with Willie. If the players that Willie recruited and coaches drop passes, miss tackles, and throw pick sixes then that is indeed Willie’s fault.
To double down on blaming the players multiple times during the press conference is really jarring.
Hope we win some more games this year.
What are our thoughts on Willie Simmons?
I am not close enough to college football to have a legitimate opinion. That being said, I think coaching at HBU is a different level than D1.
But at FAMU, he makes $300k. So, in that case FAU would be a step up at $600k.
Man best case scenario we win all our remaining games, we can go 8-4. But no way we beat WKU, UAB or MTSU which puts us at 5-7 again. Im not even sure Rice is a winnable game now so I won't even be surprised if we go 4-8.
However, Purdue went on the road and beat ranked Minnesota but double digits today.’
College football is amazing.
Let’s see.
Also, we are $1,000,000+ short at least of a HC that aligns with our expectations with what we were paying Lane.
Took all of the responsibility: “This loss falls squarely on my shoulders.”
If Willie did this (haven’t watched myself). He should be let go tomorrow morning.
But, I wonder if Willie is suffering the same fate that Charlie Partridge did when his assistant coaches were not performing, did nothing and it eventually cost Charlie his job.
Nick Saban, Kirby Smart and Ryan Day rely on each individual position coach to perform as any Executive would of their staff. They do not coach all of these positions by themselves.
Willie needs to take a long look at his position coaches before it is too late.
Basically the schools you list here have like 40% of the 5 star players in the country. Maybe that’s a big reason they win?
I honestly don’t think the staff is the problem. I think it’s a pretty good one to be honest.
I think willie choose the wrong QB plain and simple. How N’kosi finished last year they should have not brought him back for his Covid 6th year, or at the very least brought in a legit competitor. N’kosi hides it in his stat lines but if you watch him he just is a QB that loses you games with inaccuracy and horrible decision making who puts your defense in losing positions as well
I’d also so, the D has room for improvement. Especially the DBs.
agreed we should have brought in a competitor. Lane did with Robison. Wish we got Bohanon.
