Moving on is the only solution. Anyone out there still defending the one dimensional approach needs to join Frank at the local assisted living center!

It looks like he's made his presence known again with the announcement of the remaining coaching staff. Garrick McGee (new QB coach) recruited the son of a co-worker at Northwestern and is highly respected their family.

Anybody have any details on other coaches? Is it time for a RazorBlogger analysis on the new coaching staff?

No, not concerned…pretty smart, if you ask me (using the Athletic Dept. as a 'buffer', that is…)

Is anyone remotely comcerned that we have not heard from the new Coach since December 18th and the coaching hires are coming through the Athletic Department. I'm not complaining just curious.

It's the Nutt factor. They still know who thier boss is. Why would they totally commit their coaching energies to the Hogs in the Cotton Bowl, when thier already committed to Ole Miss? I would love to be a fly on the wall when these guys recruit, and tell those kids their recruiting what a great organizer and coach Houston Nutt is, using the Cotton Bowl as evidence of the Players not wanting to play because of their absent leader. Don't think for a second this BS won't be used to try and sway a few recruits. All I can say is, you better get 'em while you can Mr. Nutt. It won't take but about 3 years for the Rebel faithful to figure you out. Orjeron was a decent coach at best, but he was a hell of a lot better recruiter than Nutt will ever be!

I like the red pants. Its those Sooner's jerseys I have wanted gone since they arrived.

Excellent analysis. It is all just as you say. Our defense with a few adjustments for the running game did actually deliver. Had our offense stayed on the field or scored it would have even been better. Dale's defense's have always fed off of offensive success. Of all the things you mention, playcalling was the biggest surprise to me. David Lee was actually worse without Dale there. No Markus Monk to speak of, no down field passing even with all 11 within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage, it was amazing to me for a guy who had studied film for the Cowboys for four years.

Put Chris Baker on the field, let London drop a couple, anything to back those guys off a little. It's fundamental. Did London even see the field? I was calling for Lucas Miller in the first quarter and he finally got snaps in the 4th. I don't get it.

Someone please explain to me why you predict an open offense in the paper and deliver that mess. Or, failing that explanation, why anyone ever believes that stupid lie for the 10th time.
