As sucky as it feels to us, it is his call.

I agree with that. We hired him to take us in a different direction. We weren't going to get there over night. Everyone needs to be patient and see if this year's struggles makes us a stronger team in years to come. If after 3 or 4 years, the plan hasn't work, then we get antsy for yet another new coach.

But stop with the hate JP talk or the ego talk. He has a plan and he is sticking to it. If he is as good as I think, this year will pay dividends down the road. Perry is a quick fix,but not the long term solution.

How can you explain leaving Brown in to get slaughtered ? How can you explain not letting Perry play, when both were considered relatively equal 6 weeks ago ? Our offense, with Brown at QB only ran about 8 or 9 base plays. Memphis' D knew what our guys were going to run when we lined up. McGee is either intent on keeping JP off the field, or is trying to get Brown killed, or both. Either way, I'll bet a steak dinner that JP's last game in a UAB uniform is next Saturday.

I completely understand wanting to change the way things are done, and getting Brown real-time game experience for next year and the next. I only hope that Brown is ambulatory by next August so that he can use that experience.

No matter what good I think McGee has done this season, I question what transpired in his head on Saturday. It was Watson-esque.
