All Aboard the Slytanic
Seriously, what gives with this guy? Is he really this clueless? What has MState gotten itself into?
I was amazed at his post-game comments directly following the game last Thursday when he said he saw improvement in the offense. I saw major, MAJOR regression. During the call-in show Monday night several callers question him about the offense. His response - he will not change the offensive system nor the way it is called. That is typical Croom, I expected this all the way. The kicker though is the crowd in attentance actually cheered. They cheered him. They cheered sticking with that garbage he calls an offense, that system he calls the West Coast Offense (blasphemy to Bill Walsh). Did these people actually watch that game? Have they watched MState the 2 years prior to this? Do they not see the offensive regression? Do they not see that we will not win with this offense? How blind can the sheep be? How delusional can they be? How long can people hold their heads in the sand? According to them if we stick with this and keep plugging away at it the system will just magically work and our offensive line will magically be able to block 8 and 9 man fronts for our runs up the middle.
So that little thing takes place, spinning me to a level of disbelief - but wait, there's more. Croom give the team off all weekend, including Monday, because of their effort. Let me say that I have no problem giving the defense off, they earned it. But the offense? We ran nothing resembling an offense all night long against South Carolina. Lee Corso called it the worst offense he's seen in 10 years. Long time sheep and optimistic fans were grumbling and cursing Croom last Thursday. People who were arguing that we had a shot at a bowl last week were left saying we would win 2 or 3 games. Yet, with all this, Croom thinks our offense needs no practice. That is moronic. If I were AD or President I would pay a little visit to Croom's office and tell him to get his crap in order. We are playing a team vastly more talented and better coached than us coming off the worst offensive performance I have ever seen - we need practice. Croom has no idea what he is doing - that should be evident to all by now. If you believe otherwise you have your head in the sand. I guarantee you Spurrier, whose team plays UGA and actually scored points last Thursday, didn't give his team off all weekend. But what does he know of winning college football games, right?
But wait, there's more. Croom comes out this week with more of his classic remarks. All last season we heard after poor performances how we were a few plays away from winning. Failure to execute a play, we were told, was why we lost. Croom said things like "we had a touchdown on that play if he catches it, if we get a block, if he hits that hole, etc". Well, I'll be damned if he doesn't pull out the same crap to explain away our poor offensive performance against SC. We are told it is a matter of execution. Well to that I say this - it has been that way for 3 years. We haven't executed according to him for 3 years. Either we aren't recruiting better players who can execute or our coaches aren't doing their jobs in teaching these players the offense. Either way, it is his fault. I'm tired of this crap. Don't tell me, do something about it. The worst part is the sheep believe him whole heartedly. They drink it up like they do the Swan's recruiting "information" and Rose Bowl Robertson's "insight". The sheep proclaim bad execution the reason we failed to score, as if we were close to beating SC but just couldn't get it done when we needed to. How anyone with any football knowledge could watch that game and believe we were ever close to beating them is beyond me. I guarantee you the only thing Spurrier worried about was a defensive touchdown on our part when the score was 6-0. He never sweated our offense. Look at that 4th down play - he had his entire defense stack up inside. Had we faked the run and rolled out with a TE pass or something we probably would have scored - yet he allowed the defense to line up that way. That is because he knew good and well we were going to run up the middle, just like 50,000 fans in attendance did.
I'm so tired of this garbage. I'm so tired of the sheep saying we are unreasonable or have "despicable goals" when actually having the nerve to not be happy and demand answers, accountability, and change. I say this to you MState fans - get your heads out of the sand. See through the bullcrap shoveled your way weekly by this farce of a coach and see what I see - a man who has no idea what it takes to win on the collegiate level as a head coach, a man who is too stubborn to change what he is doing in order to give us a better chance to win games, and a man who trots out crappy excuses for his failures all the while saying he takes responsibility. See through this shroud and see the imminent failure of this coaching staff. See the 2-3 wins we will have this year. See the defensive regression and further offensive regression once this senior class graduates. See the recruiting still being of the same quality just getting the verbals earlier. See the continual slide of MState football further into the drain and further into being the biggest laughing stock in D1A football. Don't let people convince you that the offense is McCorvey's fault and firing him will change things. Oh no, the root problem is Croom and he is the one that needs to answer for this thing he calls a football team.
