[QUOTE="Bootheel Illini, post: 1969647, member: 748468"] Sick of hearing BB excuses and saying "We'll evaluate things and clean it all up". And "I have to do a better job to put the players in a position to win." Some of these players make mistakes like dropped passes, fumbles, fumbled fair catches, defensive backfield missed assignments, penalties, etc, etc, etc. BB and the coaches aren't fumbling the ball, but they aren't coaching up the players doing it either. Too many dumb mistakes by Illini special teams and Offense that NW alertly took advantage of. The defensive backfield is a total mess. They either hold, interfere, or are not in any position to deny the catch. They seem to be in the wrong defense at the most inopportune times, so Aaron Henry has to go. The OL got some better as the season went along, but really got manhandled too often. The bright spot of the whole season was John Paddock so why didn't the coaches "discover" him sooner? And the BIG officials are abysmal. The 2 point non-holding flag pick up was ridiculous. The NW D back was holding before the ball was tipped so there was no justification for picking up that flag. They held the whole game but the refs looked the other way. [/QUOTE]
