Where Do We Go From Here?

I watched every minute of the game last night, and honestly, I felt some stirrings of excitement with that first drive, but after that, I zoned out. It’s getting harder and harder to care about a team and coaching staff who don’t appear to have any level of confidence, discipline, or commitment. I knew we would lose, but there is no excuse for us to lose by that margin. In some ways, this loss was as bad as the Vandy loss or the Jacksonville loss. Obviously, Bama is far better than either of those teams, but last night made one thing perfectly clear, to me at least: We cannot compete with SEC teams (and by compete I’m not even talking about winning consistently, I’m just talking about staying in games) with the current coaching staff. Nutt’s big upside was that, while he’s always lost games he shouldn’t have, he could pull out big wins by staying competitive against top-tier teams. He no longer has that ability, so for me, he no longer has any value.

Those basketball promos were sick

The last time Ole Miss lost by a similar margin at home was against aKentucky in 1949, John Vaught’s third year as head coach, by a margin of 47-0.

Maybe when the genius minds at Forward Rebels invent the TARDIS they can go back in time and fire him, too.

yesterday was an abortion that, sadly, we ask saw coming…just disgusting to watch the team lay down, but with even more god-forsaken play calling, who could really blame them? This is a burning question that I am surprised has not been mentioned on this site(to my knowledge) from what I understand, one of nutt’s daughters is the host of a morning sports talk show in Oxford these days, is she still on the air? And if so, how does she avoid discussing the absolute destruction of this program, compliments of her father? Does this show take calls? And if they do, aren’t the majority of the listeners trashing the coaching staff on a regular basis at this point? Just seems like having her in this position is a serious conflict of interest(from a journalistic standard standpoint, if in fact those do exsist these days in o-town) and bottom line, it has to be beyond akward for her to be on this show in a daily basis, with her fathers total incompetence being on display every day. Any feedback on this would be appreciated, thanks in advance

I had little hope going into this season…of course, that indicates I actually had some. Now I have absolutely none. No hope or faith in this coaching staff, or even in most of these players, who are merely punching their ticket to a possible stint in the NFL, CFL, AFL or perhaps assistant coach at a small high school program if they are lucky. It’s sad, really. I always go into any situation with the attitude of “expect the worst, hope for the best.” Well the best in this case is the tailgating (nice piece in this weekend’s Parade by Rick Bragg, BTW).

I do not have tickets to the Arkansas game nor will I try to get any. I will be happy to hold down the fort and watch the coolers for my fellow Cuppers while you head into VHS. I promise not to bogart your beers. I will gladly share my Kraken and fondly remember the Brewer years when I was in junior high, high school and college, the few post-grad highlights of the Tuberville era (pine boxes notwithstanding), Eli, Deuce, Romaro and the rest, and hope for better days…but I will not fool myself into thinking any part of this 2011 season is salvageable.

I will save my Arkansas hate for the Hate Week thread. I got plenty built up…it’ll be a doozy.

ditto what matt just said, maybe a wager over a bottle of…I don’t know….kraken is in order here, somebody better have some pics

i pulled some strings and got you that six points you asked for. i guess saban was feeling generous and threw in the extra point for free.

Unless one of y’all has already been working on something.

I was one of the unlucky ones to see this game live. I’m not exactly certain what needs to happen or where we need to go from this point. I do feel like we need to gut the coaching staff (except G. Brewer) and remove P. Boone. As much as I hate to say this, I feel like we will never have the recruits to win a NC…..unless, we began winning on a consistent basis and then many yrs down the road we may acquire the right amount of talent at the right time. We need an innovative, energized and hard nosed coach. Nutt is too soft spoken and as of recent, shows no emotion or energy. I feel like the admin. is content with where we are. We’ve been selling out the stadium and the Forward Rebels program is ahead of schedule. So why should they make any drastic changes? I think from here on out…ill be watching the game from the Grove…at least until next season.
