I was wondering why we ignored Hunter Lee last year, but it was not nearly as big a question when we had a totally healthy Dixon and big time receivers in Patton and White who were getting us yards and TDs in bunches. This year, there is a desperate need to utilize Hunter Lee more than we are doing.Quote:

As for the players, if Hunter Lee is not gonna get a chance to shine, fine, I'm happy with Martin stepping up and reeling off a 62-yard TD jaunt. I have NO loyalty to anyone. The only thing that matters are results.Quote:

No more excuses.
IMO....Holtz is just now getting to know what players can do what and where in a game situation. It should get better from here on out.
This may be true and I hope we progress as you predict.Quote:

At least we won't have to look any further than this board to find the our next great coach. Surprised some of ya'll ain't been poached already. :D
From "Managerial Grid" one management style production first, screw people, is a 9,1. The optimum style for an organization is a 9,9 expecting and working for the best for both production and people. And, there is the 5,5 - half-assed both, like our government.Quote:

Is that what you got out of it? Wow!Quote:

Results don't matter.....only unwavering, no-questions-asked, blind loyalty. Gotcha.
Ya know....some of you should type out your posts, and then sit on 'em for awhile, kinda mull 'em over. Then maybe you might avoid embarrassing yourself with silly comments.
Funny thing is that's exactly what I thought when I read your post. Where did anyone say anything about blind loyalty and all that jibberish? You posted a rant saying you are the polar opposite with no loyalty to anything or anyone and nothing matters but results---that's a pretty harsh and cold way to live life. Sure you may get results, that seems to be how Saban operates and it works well for him. Pretty sure I've heard him called a prick on many occasions though.Quote:

I wasn't kidding. I generally value relationships over results. But I can respect that, in football and in life, results are most important to you. It may explain why, after a decade plus on BB&B, you and I have never quite seen eye to eye on a great many things.Quote:
