Just read this article and boy oh boy am I glad Smart isn't our coach.
-Jamie Newman: Could not convince Newman to play this season, even though with Newman this would be a legit playoff contender that could hang with the top 3. If this was Ryan Day, you know Newman would be out there leading the team.
-J.T. Daniels: He has the 5-star transfer playing scout team QB and the walk-on starting. You have that backwards Kirby. Isn't even giving Daniels, with a brace (Fields played through it), a chance to compete for the starting job against a freshman and a walk-on.
-D'wan Mathis: Won the starting job and pulled after one mediocre quarter against a talented defense. I understand not wanting to reward a diva mentality, but you gave him the starting job and then took it away from him with 0 patience.
-Stetson Bennett: Dude looks like me and they are trotting him out against Alabama and Florida. These are games when you need a gamebreaker, not a game manager. This is the same kind of coaching that made him play Fromm over Fields.
You had a roster with 3 blue-chippers (soon to be 1) and you are starting the 10th best rated QB in the SEC in the division Championship game. Thank Goodness Fields ran from that place and to the light.
