I respect Joe for what he said

[bocephus.sixpack]

I was very impressed in what Joe said about his coaching. He totally put the blame on himself by saying he had done a poor job of coaching and play calling. I don't think I've ever heard or if I did I don't remember a HC from the SEC take 100% of the blame for basically losing the 3 games we lost. He showed me what kind of coach he is. Sure he and the staff, all but coach Shoop, Buck and Baker are the only 3 on the current staff who have any SEC experience. I know the defense was suppose to be really good this year. But, those players are seeing their 4th DC in 4 years too. When you weigh the total body of work, the biggest difference would be those 3 guys already having SEC experience. Its a lot to having all of that experience, but having the SEC coaching experience aided in the defense getting better too. I think it all has to be considered when giving this staff a grade in the full body of work. Lets get on board and see what happens because I think we will be excited and happy in the future.

Huff coached at Vandy under Franklin I think. Hudspeth coached at State too.

Two years with Mullen, as passing game coordinator I believe. (Hud)

It's coachspeak 101, and Bryant always followed it. After every loss he would apologize for not having the players prepared and having a bad gameplan. Of course, after 3 or 4 championdhips, he could do no wrong in the eyes of the fans.

Then you have Orgeron who just said it out loud after the Florida loss "When we win it's on the players and when we lose its on me, so this one is on me."

I think JoMo is generally straight forward and not a coachspeak kind of guy, but when he takes the blame for our losses he is probably just following that Bryant quote.

My favorite Bear Bryant quote was after a game they lost, a reporter asked him why he made some decision on the field that backfired on him. His answer, "Because I was trying to win the damn game."

NO he earned those loses.

​He had a major hand in them.

He used that line a lot on his call in show.
