10-4 on that, and that's the bottom line...it would be a bigger crime to not do anything and try to muttle thru under current situation....

and i also agree that the program as whole is, as it stands today, is still in good shape....the continuation of that is the hard part, and it will be hard next year, no doubt...

but i'll still go back to some of these traditional powers that have been thru cycles of good and bad years....FSU lookst be going in a down cycle, esp. if they get beat Saturday night....Nebraska is still in that down cycle, Bama is just coming out of one, but could be headed back down with no Croyle???  ND same thing....yeah, they had a good year, but who did they really beat when it's all said and done???  OK is one game better than us right now, unranked, PSU is coming out of a major down cycle, minus the past 3 years, what had USC accomplished lately?  UCLA? Kansas St...weren't they in conf championship games and NC contention with us just less than a decade ago?  now where are they? will they ever be 'back'?

it's just our turn....it was bound to happen at some point....let's just hope it has a short shelf life....

Good points. The programs that sufferred corrected mistakes through new coaches. It's not always perfect, but these things are corrected by the coaches, pure and simple. If you've got good coaches, you'll be successful. If not, the inverse is true.

Bobby Bowden's offenses have gone downhill ever since Amato, Richt, and some of those guys left. Now he's had his son Jeff as OC, and they have been struggling ever sense.

FSU:

1. Good defense
2. Mediocre special teams
3. Bad offense can be traced back to losing good coaches and keeping bad ones in place for too long.

Sound familiar?

I'm getting more and more excited about Cut every day. He comes across like he's a got a plan and a purpose. He's very intentional with his words and his attitude.

He's actually quite a bit different sounding than he used to be.

yeah, i think the HC job at Ole Miss kind of maybe shed some light on why CPF was the way he was, and maybe at the time as coordinator or position coach he didn't fully have an appreciation for that job...now that he's been thru that ringer, he probably has a new set of "eyes". Plus with the health issues he had earlier this year, he probably has a new outlook on things...like not to waste time....take care of the small stuff, big stuff don't happen!
