I wish that was true Booms, but I have yet to ever hear CAG be critical of his coaching after a loss. It's always his players fault for not trying hard enough if he is critical.
Maybe I have missed a press conference where CAG is critical of his coaching mistakes, but I don't remember any. But I do remember the half time interview of the SEC Title game by Saban where he basically said it was his fault we did not have a chance at a TD before half. Makes you wonder about if there is a different mindset between the two of them.

And before all the apologists hop on with "oh the refs cost us the game," yes the reffing was very one-sided but that is NOT what cost us the game. Our offensive ineptitude did. You cannot have 8/9 minute scoring droughts every game and be a consistent winning program. There is no excuse for the lack of offensive identity in year 4 of a program. And it shows no sign of getting better- in fact it's going downhill.
Today we had a perfect chance. Florida was NOT on their game. Their 3 ball was off (did they even hit one in the 2nd half?) they were sloppy and turned it over leading to easy points for us- it was all there for us to steal an upset worth its weight in gold. We didn't do it, and it's on Grant. His inability to coach offense is running our program into the ground. I can only hope the administration is taking notice and not just gloating in football success..

CAG doesn't have to share with you, me or anyone else what his thoughts are on his coaching ability or post-game assessment.And just maybe the things that did affect the outcome of the games were things that he has coached and hammered into his players, BUT the PLAYERS still didn't get it; THEREBY, they went out and did something totally different than what was taught or expected of them. That SHIT happens. AND, it was NOT the first time in the history of sports that players perform totally contrary to their coaches expectations AND it will not be the last time. CAG knows his players and whether or not they are giving great effort and doing things the way they are taught in practice or instructed during breaks in the game.
I know that CAGs background reflects a tough hard-nosed coach that prefers discipline and effort and the best that his players have to offer. I trust that he will get it done. If he sees that he cannot, I fully expect him to leave on his own accord. He won't have to be ushered out by fans, administrators or boosters.

OK, Grant is a perfect coach, it's not like he would call a timeout at the end of the first regulation of the LSU game we lost and set up a play that had Releford who was having his best scoring game of his career to just sit in the corner while everyone else on the team was involved in the play trying to score which lead to us not even getting a decent shot off? What, maybe that's what is exactly what happened, but no matter, Grant is perfect and he always puts the players in the best position to win. He never Fs it up, it's all the players fault. I mean Releford just standing still without ever moving on that play to possible get a double team to free up another shooter with as hot as he was in that game must have been a great distraction for the LSU players and very hard to guard. The LSU defenders must have been thinking, it can't be this easy, something has to be up. Maybe we should send 2 guys to defend a ball less Releford in the corner who is just standing still.
So sorry, I must have been mistaken. Carry on.
Were you in the huddle when the play was drawn up? Do you know the responsibilities of each player on the court and the options of each based upon the defensive sets? I am certain that Grant knew that TR was having a great night. I am sure that he was well aware that TL had a history of being a shot maker in clutch situations this season. Furthermore, I suspect he had scouted LSU enough to know what scheme they might utilize to defend his offensive options.
However, I am more than certain that you and a lot more fans had a plan and concept that would have worked 100% of the time no matter the players, opposition or situation.
FYI: I don't think CAG is faultless or perfect. BUT, I don't think CAG is anywhere near the level of the opinion that you and others share about him. Yes, I am disappointed in the on-court product and frustratingly unexpected loses. I abhor the offensive philosophy because all of the parts needed to run his system are currently not on his roster AND other parts are not skilled and advanced enough to run it. He can't press full-court from the opening tip-off because he is short on bodies. The slow tempo half-court offense is abysmal because he doesn't have the quality OR quantity of low post players needed to run a motion offense in the post. Sometimes I wonder if the post and wing players think the lane is a street corner or front porch AND the basketball rim nothing more than a street light on a pole.
