We had a winnable schedule, an athletic freak at quarterback, multiple playmakers on offense----everything set up to run the table. And instead of stepping up to make sure that happened by using his key strength, coaching a defense, he used that as the time to "give someone else a chance".
At some point you have to put a stake in the sand, step up, and decide that today actually matters. If the defense wasn't at par with the offense, the worst possible thing to do was to turn it over to a coach that was also unprepared.
