That embarrassing scene at the beginning of the 3rd quarter in the Clemson game probably wouldn’t have happened without the years of heartbreake that proceeded it. (Translation: I don’t think that happens in year 2 or 3 of Amato.)
Certainly, DD can’t be held responsible for the coaches before him any more than we can hold him responsible for the talent he inherited – but it would be nice if he said he understands why there aren’t fannies in the seats.
Chop, I’m not sure that DD actually understood why there weren’t fannies in the seats when he made his request or criticism — whichever one chooses to believe. He’s our coach so I give him the benefit of the doubt. I’m sure he was sorry he said it after the fact. And I agree with you, a nicely worded statement stating he now understands why and apologizes for not seeing it at the time would go a long way to heal the rift for those who want it healed.
I believe it would benefit both fans and Doeren. He seems much more subdued in his enthusiasm than when he came here. That diminished enthusiasm has to show up in closing the deal with a recruit. Fortunately the assistants don’t seem to be affected by it.
…your optimism is refreshing and a good change of pace. And in general, you attack the post, not the poster….so I usually enjoy our exchanges.
There are usually 2 sides to every story and for now, you are taking the more optimistic one.
Thanks for the acknowledgement for attacking the post, not the poster. Whiteshoes67 called me out for my way of being on one of my posts and I thank him for doing it. I love “talking” football with you guys and don’t want to inhibit anyone by being a jerk.
Go Pack!!
