I will say this, the fan base turning against Paul Rhoads is starting to increase weekly. It's showing on here steadily, it's being said at the bars my wife and I went to to watch the game last night, and it's going to start showing in attendance starting this week.
I think people are getting a little tired of all the coach speak to from Rhoads. I think they would respect him more if he came out and didn't say things like.... "we are young and we are injured." Or.... "we've been looking good in practice, and I thought we were ready to play." Or.... "we're getting better." Or.... "the effort was there." Or.... "I'm still hearing great things coming out of the players and coaches."
I understand he wants to be positive, but I wish he'd just come out and say that this crap has to change and that it is completely unacceptable to lose like this to anyone. Rhoads has plenty of fire in him, but it doesn't come out when talking about his own team usually.
If he could be as fiery about his own team's performance as he was about the refs in the Texas game, I think I'd respect him more. What would it hurt to say.... "the OL was completely inept tonight and it had better get fixed."? Show that you are ticked off about it. Don't say.... "well we gave it our best effort, but that just wasn't good enough tonight. We'll get back after it tomorrow."
That's getting old quick for me.
