I agree with you. This is a problem that should have been addressed a long time ago. But it wasn't.
And I completely agree that I would like to punish some of these coaches, especially the ones where it is obvious that they aren't even trying. I am not a big fan of SE and never have been. But I wish he had been given more authority over the games he coached.
I think he would have shown me something if he had brought in Ellis Johnson as a defensive consultant for the remainder of the year. He could have had EJ actually doing more, while JH/LW could have been quietly demoted without changing titles or money. Arkansas did the same thing with Danny Ford.
Although the problem seems to be more the offense lately.
My only point is that we all want to show these coaches how bad they have treated us with the lack of effort in recruiting, developing players, etc.
But we don't really have a choice now. This just has to play out for one more game.
And FWIW, Coach Tanners comments about Elliott were just coach speak. Elliott will get polite pro forma consideration. Because that's the way it's done. But he certainly won't get the job. And there's no serious thought on either one's mind that it will be any different.
