We were a better team than NC and FSU and lost. And we were the worse team but had the game won against Pitt and Miami and we lost. 4 in a row by 9 pts. This is nothing but coaching.
Honestly I think we were better than Pitt too. Just giving games away all season.
Heck..we were/are better than Miami. It's the inept coaching.
I wouldn't go that far. We were lucky to hit on a bunch of big plays to be up that much on Miami. But still, should have been able to hold a 20 point lead in the 4th.
We should have been building the lead. It is the same every game. We get a lead and stop doing the things that built the lead then play for FGs instead of playing to win going away with TDs.
It's obvious to EVERYONE except the people who staunchly defend Wilcox. No killer instinct no gamesmanship. This dude talks about a handful of plays and learning how to win. His decision making his demeanor, the way he walks along the sideline. It's like is this guy a man? Doesn't skew male to me. Ballz anyone?
I honestly think the biggest problem is that it rubs off on the players.
Some coaches are killers and their players play like it. Wilcox is a wuss and that's how we play. We're so afraid to make a mistake that we just make more mistakes.
The other thing I'll say is that I don't think our team played like that in Wilcox's first three seasons. Yeah, we were at a talent deficit for the most part but the team tended to play with passion. We scored some big upsets and had some bad luck with a QB injury in 2019.
But since COVID, it's been loser mentality all the way, except for that three-game stretch to get bowl eligible last year. I'll note that most of the pressure to actually compete was off at that point, thanks to a losing streak earlier in the year. Not sure what happened to him, but it's clear the trend is not reversing now.
