Collins failure to play the correct players

[GTWannaBee]

That's a pretty easy argument to make since it would only require beating UCF. You probably only need one of those last two things.

Eliminate the blocked punts and that might have been enough for the win.

Conspiracy theory - If you know that the team can't win 6 games, as required by the AD and boosters, he who shall not be named plays the wrong players to get the maximum payout

Maybe, but I'm not sure he is that smart, but maybe he realized he was over his head and did not believe the team could achieve the 6 wins, so he forced the hands of those with the power/money. Who knows?

I dunno.... It seems like you're trading the rest of your career

Almost 11 million reasons. Who needs to work more? And after the last 3.5 years does he even have a rest of career?

There is zero chance Collins was losing games on purpose.

Well if a fat person keeps drinking 2 liter bottles of coke...

Collins made it clear he was creating a "developmental program". He wanted to sell getting kids into the league. And I think he stayed with upper classmen way too long because of it. A few quick changes in personnel and we did look like a better team.

For sure. If he actually tried to lose games we probably would have won a few more

Kicker for starters and.....Ah öööö, just add it to his list of failures.

Stewart has had a strained groin, hasn't even been dressed for the last two. Kelley is typically more accurate and kicks a better ball (higher trajectory/less likely to get blocked) than Stewart on the short-midrange kicks, and Stewart has the power for the longer range kicks. Some folks are just gamers though and some are not and I think that's what we may be seeing here. If Stewart picked up on the same genes as his brother, then he definitely has it in him.
