I think fast start is a common element among most top shelf coaches so Day having a so-so start is a concern. Yes.soo if you look Tress won a Natty in his 3rd year… probably should have won another one in ‘05 but that was the last team he had that would contend. Got blown out (complete beatdown I’d say) in ‘06, ‘07 was a fluke … then wheels kept coming off… got blown out by USC at USC there are a few others (including a bowl game loss to Tejas) but beat scum like a drum…
Urban won a title in his … 3rd year again right? ‘14… ‘15 had the bad loss to Sparty with the team that shoulda went back to back… a myriad of other bad losses to bad teams including an inept 31-0 complete beatdown by Clemp’son. And then there was the whole crazy ass WR coach who may or may not have been in a mutually abusive relationship with his wife/ex wife.. but hey 7-0 vs scUM
so… Those guys .. fast starts … crash and burn finishes… Day should have played LSU in ‘19 for the title and I think we had a good chance to beat them… much like the 05/06 teams the ‘19/‘20 teams the wrong team went to the title.
Day … kinda fast start already with 2 playoffs and a natty appearance - hey it wasn’t great but we weren’t great either….
We will find out in about a 3 months if Day wants to go to the NFL and if he doesn’t we’ll know in about 10 months if he’s got the stomach to be great.
also if they had played last year … and Day was 2-1 vs scUM … would you still be as phillyesk as you are currently being?
If he was 2-1 I’d feel a little better yeah, but he isn’t and that makes next year make or break.
You put the losses he’s had with the shit we see from the team making videos of stomping on jerseys and then all the excuse making from Stroud and now a recruit running his mouth about The Game and there seems to be a significant change in team culture.
We don’t know for sure and I hope to god it’s all much ado about nothing but we won’t know for sure till he wipes that stain off our souls next November. If he doesn’t, then it’s likely USC ‘08. That moment you knew the coach wasn’t the right guy.
