Stephen McGee quote from Chronicle:
"'It's so tough, because everybody wants to be so negative, but that's the way that life is,' said quarterback Stephen McGee. 'If you chose to come to a school like A&M, you know you are going to have to deal with that. You can let it eat you up, or you can go out there and be a man and realize 'I have responsibilities to go out there' and lead your team and encourage them like you always have.'"I don't see my thoughts as negative. I can see that we aren't very good this year, and haven't been in many years past. I still hope we pull something out this season and I think we have chance. But, there is a problem and at this point I think it is the coaching.
Fran's quote:
Franchione, however, disagrees with the idea last Thursday's game against the unranked Hurricanes served as a barometer of where the program is under his watch. He has championed this as the most complete and talented team he has had since arriving at A&M.
What barometer do we have then? Maybe Fran's record 28-24? At least it's a winning record for now. I do agree this might be "the most complete and talented team he has had since arriving at A&M." Which backs up the point that it is a coaching problem rather than a player problem.
I also agree to a point that a positive attitude is necessary to move forward, but you can't progress unless you see the mistakes and make a change. Drinking the maroon cool aid that the coaching staff is serving up, doesn't do any of us any good. I am impressed that the team is backing up their coach as they should, but don't get angry with the fans because they are ticked off at a lack of progression in performance over the last 4 plus years. It is even more exasperating to hear the coaches say in effect, we are doing great, right where we want to be, when we have to face these embarrassments on national television. Pure political spin in an attempt to save their jobs. A little honesty would go a long way with me.
