CNS the Goat? Yes. Do supremely talented people fail in their job daily? Yes. I have 32 years of experience in my job. Do I fail in spite of best efforts? Yes.
The question is NOT whether this is a poorly coached team. It is readily apparent. Players lost 30-40% of time on D. And, it is total BS that we do not have a single receiver that can get open with the talent signed. And, total BS that we can't run the ball reasonably well with Olineman stacked up like cordwood.
CNS has said all year that he likes this team - no bad apples. When applicable, he has said that his team is not properly locked in. So, he isn't blaming them, when he has before. This isn't a player issue. IT isn't NIL. It isn't the NFL. It is a staff issue.
2022 lies at the feet of the man. His admirable loyalty with coaches, 1 in particular, is getting his ass beat. Would you have confidence in CPG if you played for him? Why do we expect players to do so, and confidence is critical. Watch UGA Saturday? That is confidence. Wonder why we weren't chanting coming out of the tunnel in UT? Because we were scared they were going to do exactly what they did. Why did we play nervous? I wonder................. Why are we average at best on the road? It is not complicated. The players have 0 confidence - they do not believe - period. That is whey there ain't no alphas. Jack somebody's ass up only to have CPG hang him out to dry on the next play.... I have reason to believe that while they like CPG ALOT, they are tired of playing for him. He ran the exact defense on Sat. night that would allow the only player on LSU's team to beat them in the only way he could - with his legs. We walk up and blitz 85% of the time. C'mon man.
Will CNS fix it? I believe he will because he is the smartest, best to ever do it. Or, will his stubbornness get in the way?
