Can someone please explain to me what is wrong with his statement?

Should've used the sarcasm/facetious/blue font, some just can't stand that either though.

Am I a Zero or Callaway fan - no Do I want a change YES! Do I think McGee is the one to do that - Ask again later as the Magic Eightball says. I don't particularly care for the way McGee has done/said things in his full body of work to date here at UAB & we're not talking coachspeak type stuff either.
Yr1 - we can win & talent/facilities are here to do it with
Yr2 - you're a bunch of losers (culture of losing in essence & I'm sure most around here don't care to be called losers as well as players past/present nor the people who put money into the program so not a good way to endear oneself to the masses) & begins to run off people we know weren't as Callaway had pretty much already done that as well as built a pretty decent foundation to go on with in the right direction only to pretty much tear that down when not really needed (about like tearing something down to start from scratch when all you hate is the color)

I'm not saying that he ran off Peterson either. I know that was just business/personal reason in the move & wish him luck as well as hate it just like losing Brohm/Helton last year.

There is a culture of losing at UAB. It's obvious reading this board. And no, he wasn't calling anyone a loser when he said that. We have never had a coach whose every word wasn't dissected by the fans for mistakes, ridicule, and double meaning. Saying a coach should just shut up in public is the stupidest thing anyone should say.

I do disagree with McGee though. Regarding the fanbase, it isn't a culture of losing. It's a culture of idiots.

Every fan base has it's group of idiots though
