Was way out in front of the "Towles is mediocre take". Regardless, you could win with the guy if you had a decent to good D, OL, and ST play...but we don't.
It's a little unnerving, really. The lack of improvement, hell, regression we have seen from guys that were supposed to be our core play makers.
Honestly, I still like our coaching staff a lot but what I think we are seeing is a lot of "learning on the job" which is tough to do in the SEC. These guys knew how to recruit because they had been doing it for years. But, they've all taken a step up in coaching responsibility and they are making mistakes of inexperience.
At this point I would like to see Barker. He's not blocking or tackling anyone, understood, but I think it would bring a new energy to this team...right now there is a definite feeling of "here we go again".
