Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4050326, member: 71"] If RE stuck around after 2010 the 2011 team wins 9 games without including a bowl game. We also would have kept Nebrich (who Moorehead felt would be a solid QB at this level). The biggest problem (on many levels) was GDL and his treatment of players. He couldn't be bothered teaching them and he would berate them for not having mastered his terminology or blocking techniques & schemes. I personally knew a few parents of offensive linemen who wanted to go to blows with GDL. One would only refer to him as "a miserable excuse for a human being". The biggest issue on P's hands off approach was the lack of accountability on conditioning; primarily iff season weight training. We went from a program that was continually developing linemen who greatly outperformed any possible expectations from their recruiting rankings to one of the softest offensive lines in football (with our highest ranked recruits ever) in three years. One major issue was that P never really got that these kids needed training, teaching, developing. Even at Alabama recruits can't just be plugged into a role straight from high school and perform yet P's approach left us in that situation. P pointed the program towards a train wreck. Diaco greased the wheels and added velocity. [/QUOTE]
