Clay, as usual you’re spot on. I couldn’t believe BV threw the defense under the bus! I just don’t think Venables is going to be “the one”. Littrell isn’t a QB coach. Lebby would’ve had Arnold playing out of this world by now. BV must find an offense or a new job, one or the other.
There will never again be a need for reference to the John Blake years...we currently have our very own inept HC, and I do mean inept as on completely unqualified for the job. He is responsible for all the hires, and has brought in some real doozies this year. Littrell was an unpopular choice from the get and has turned out to be even worse that predicted. Alley as DC? No way to put it other than he's taken a solid group and dumped 'em in the trash. No pressure at all on opposing QBs. All day to peruse the field for those wide open receivers that his secondary can't find. If I ever have to see bowman flying blindly thru the air as he over runs another RB. Murray? He has the worst RB room in the universe. And the long-time stalwart bedinbough has done probably the worst job of all. BV and all his staff should be gone ASAP. And not being an arnold fan, still didn't he deserve the second half of this latest fiasco! Hawkins is lost. He doesn't even comprehend throwing the ball away when in trouble. And there were a few open receivers that he didn't even look at. Our offense ran the ball ineffectively from side to side over and over. There are bound to be a defensive lineman or two who could perform better when inserted into the O line. But it all rests on BV's shoulders. Everything about this team has been a disaster and it's his fault. Please either hire an honest to gawd HC and put BV back with defense...or just fire him and start over. There is absolutely nothing that can be done worse than what is the present course. Jeez!
Clay: I was so mad when I wrote this that there are a few typos. I'm predicting not another win until Maine, a 5-7 finish, bowl ineligible, and not another win in the SEC until venables and his entire staff are fired. South Carolina is good!

I agree with quite a bit of it, much of which was part of my game column!!
