This is what I'm talking about!

I want to say he said something at a press conference, pretty much speaking his mind. It is kind of sad how diplomatic HCs must be nowadays. I believe the inability to play politics has been a knock on Bud becoming a HC for some. That turned out really well for them. I know everyone wants instant result these days, but I don't believe anyone needs to be fired after a 9 win season.

My question is what about if Lefty or any of the other Offensive staff get hired away- wouldn't they want to get to their new home as fast as possible? What happens then? I am so curious of what happens between now and bowl time.

He is one of the top five players on this team, and he should be playing. That isnt my issue. My issue is that his approach does indeed hurt the team long term because every time he goes in and throws up junk in the lane rather than hit a wide open teammate to take a good shot its one more time a teammate isnt improving and might not be able to be relied on when it matters, such as games when Allen and Leday are both on the bench in foul trouble. He needs to drastically improve on passing out of the lane and considerably more on the defensive end before I consider him where he needs to be as our starting point guard.

Richt just got Freigened

I understand that Vilain is a DE. But that would make our defense villainous and our offense diabolical.

It was great leaky news! No complaints here.

The problem here is no one else is going to develop their shot or be able to attempt to score because of how often Allen takes away the opportunity for others by pressing the ball into the lane unnecessarily and putting up bad shots quite often. That's why I compared him to Delaney as a senior. No one else that year developed because Malcolm was the offense. As a redshirt Junior that was expected to be the point guard, playing the way he is isn't acceptable. Many of the times he has driven into the lane there are wide open teammates in better shooting positions that he could pass to, but he isn't interested in passing once he puts his head down to go, many times for the bad of the team now and in the future. I am not saying he isn't talented, although on defense that could be questioned. Its night and day between his offense and his defense.

Was just discussing this with a friend, actually. Fuente's job right now is twofold: (1) recruiting and (2) putting a staff in place. Until it shakes out, I don't know what his plan of attack will be. But you have to imagine the offensive side of the ball is going to get overhauled and defense will (hopefully) be largely left intact. But I doubt any coaching decisions will be official until after the bowl game. Most of the assistants have to know they're lame ducks at this point, better to just let them focus on their jobs and try to win the bowl game. My guess if Fuente observes the bowl practices while figuring all of this out, but I doubt there will be any new staff/old staff joint meetings or practices due to NCAA limits on number of coaches participating. I believe new HC hires can be present, but I think that's it (not sure).

I seriously hope that Beamer sits in the stands behind Fuente next year in game one and heckles him. All in jest, of course, but I think it would be hilarious.

He must realee valu his ejumacshun!!
