Yup.
A broke clock is right 2 times a day, and if that clock has a good agent then he turns it into a contract extension and a job for his kids.

That 12-0 season was CJB. If he transferred and JR stayed, we'd probably have 7 or 8 wins.

He willed at least 2 of those games. Agreed.

I can agree with this. That team had 7 win talent, 10 win schedule, and a QB that battled through his coaches inabilities

Once KF got things turned around, we had 3 great seasons, with 2 B1G titles. And we failed to capitalize on that success and momentum.
Then he got things back on track with 2 good season in '08 and '09, with '09 damn near culminating in another B1G title. And again, he failed to capitalize on the success and momentum built up.
Finally, he seemed to get things back on track for a 3rd time in 2015 with an undefeated season and another near miss for a conference title. And once again, has failed to capitalize on that success and momentum.
The first go around was 3 seasons of success, the 2nd time was 2 seasons. This last time it was only one season. Based on this, I think he's out of successful turn arounds. I just hope he gets out or we cut bait before it truly gets to be too late...

Actually, you're right. Our offense has looked worse the last 2 games than in game #1. You can talk about execution, and that of course is part of it, but lack of execution, in massive quantities each game, is coaching.
I'm missing something......when was there ever a 12-0 season??

Rob, my theory - hatched from my arm chair this evening is this. The offensive staff are not in sync. They are not coaching well. Pervasive poor execution is about coaching. I won't be surprised if 1 or more staff members depart after the season.
And I'll speculate that Brian is the reason for the poor chemistry.
Don't know how you reporters can crack this nut - probably can't but time will tell us if I'm right

I know. In what other fucking season so we just drop the losses?

"Lack of execution" is a product of so many things:
1. Inexperienced players
2. Lack of proper practice/preparation
3. Players not giving a shit/unmotivated
4. Play calls that put players in bad situations
5. Bad players
Of all the above, only one of those (#3) is completely in a player's control. The rest of them are on the coaches.
That must make us 6-0 this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
That's because it was.
