There are NO IDIOTS on this board ... NONE, not even BOR! This name calling should stop now!

Everyone thought we'd tank because of the numbers lost - not TALENT! Having to play early, filling holes - by the way, holes filled by O'Leary recruits ... and it seems to be working as far as competing. The most directed issue was QB and that seems to be ok.

I never sold short what I THOUGHT we could do based on what Chan came into. O'Leary did leave the cupboard full ... enough for him to have kids who can get the job done in times of GREAT ADVERSITY! My GRIPE has always been - we have talent ... why do we lose games like Sat., and last year - Clemson, Wake, FSU, Fresno when INDEED we had enough good talent to make those L's - W's!

My complaint from day one since Chan Gailey coached his first game that he lost was - WHY????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The only game we were outmanned (talent wise) was UGAG last season!

Now, take a look at coaching...

<hr /></blockquote>Obviously you care to disagree. I don't know how painfully obvious I can make it.

Fact: We don't have the depth of FSU.
Fact we don't have the talent that FSU has
Fact: we could have won the game Saturday.
Fact: The reason we were even in the game to begin with was because of GREAT coaching.

What is your problem with these coaches, for God's sake? They beat the snot out of Auburn and we almost beat FSU. I just don't see how you cannot be proud of that effort. It's ridiculous. I stand by my first post.

Good grief, that question could be asked of any of O'Leary's teams. For example, how did we lose to an inferior Wake Forest team in 1999(?), an LSU team in the Peach Bowl, a Maryland team in Friedgen's first year, UGAG in O'Leary's last season, etc......

This constant harping on coaching is ridiculous.

When if we can ask that question of O'Leary lets start asking it about the present coach - GOL IS GONE!

Did you have any positive thing to say about the coaching after the Auburn game. If you did, I missed it?

MSTA, how can you in one post say:
"GOL left the cupboard full"... which is argueable at best considering he had MORE talent than Chan did last year AND he turned ina 7-5 record with that better talent. That statement is wrong.

Then two posts later in the same thread you say:

"When can we ask the question of our present coach, GOL is gone!"

I mean, how hypocritical can you be MSTA? I am trying my best to not make personal attacks, but one minute you bring up O'Leary to further your arguement, then once someone points out O'Leary had more talent and only won 7 games with more talent, you say "GOL is gone" like we shouldn't even bring him up. Do you see the hypocrisy in this statement??? You make it really really hard for anyone to respect your opinions with this logic and this kind of stuff is directly why you constantly get "attacked" on this board.

Do you understand this?? Your logic is seriously flawed. I don't know how else to spell it out to you.
