So he comes in with a defending champion...Schad...<br /><br />So he comes in with a defending champion team picked to finish first in the division. Even if that was unwarranted, the cupboard was not "bare" as was suggested. I felt like he had no idea what he was doing when the team gave up 70 in two of their first four games. BG had been playing football for almost 100 years and he gave up the two worst defeats in his first four games. The cupboard was not THAT bare. Yes, one was OSU, but we had played them before, right? One of those was also to Memphis, a .500 mid-major team. BG went on a winning streak at the end of the year, including two wins over teams with literally no healthy QBs on their roster. He then proclaimed that we'd be a running team and had found our identity. That team included Coppet, Miller, Moore, Redding, Greene, Valdez, Locke, Lunsford. He was also in the process of mis-managing James Morgan, who has proven to be a solid D1 player at FIU. <br /><br />Yes, we all hoped this was going to be some kind of aberration, but it turned out to be exactly what it appeared to be...a man not ready to coach at this level who wasn't expecting to be offered a head job and shouldn't have been given one.Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650024802297852666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608358.post-56423213183513851432019-05-27T15:17:32.504-04:002019-05-27T15:17:32.504-04:00I think it was easy enough to tell Jinks would fai...I think it was easy enough to tell Jinks would fail when he hired his staff.

If I'm making the case for that, I'd argue that the team had a surprising fall off that Jinks never seemed to anticipate. That was always troubling for me. In retrospect, I guess it also was surprising that he tried to run FalconFast for several games before realizing that it was not going to work.<br /><br />At the time, I guess I just hoped the athletic director was on top of things and there was a reason for all this madness. <br /><br />Are there other anecdotes that strike you in retrospect?
