He is terrible at evaluating talent and he makes poor in game decisions.

I agree. I was very pleased after the Nebraska game when there was celebration with the players, which told me that the serious issues between Carey and the players had been smoothed over or at least the new blood with the players solved that issue. That is just not enough. The fake punt was a symptom and a huge example of poor in game decisions, and that constant wasting of the last series before the half grates on me. After so many years as a HC he simply should not be making major mistakes in game decisions and evaluation of talent.
