These last two are definitely on Kermit.

thats bull****...so the players just didn't want to win because they thought they were in because of what the coach said? that says more about the players than the coach...middle lost...their players lost...**** happens...

Well, you are welcome to think whatever you want. This might come a complete shock to you but coaching has a lot to do with how a team performs.

All I can tell you is the team we trotted out there this past week is not the team I've watched all year. During the Marshall game they just stood around all night. Everyone was watching and waiting for someone else to do something. We weren't as bad against USM as we were Marshall but it was still bad and USM couldn't miss a three. That's a bad combination if you're trying to win a game.

Kermit has been great about getting the most out of his players, but like one of the western fans mentioned he looked like the Kermit of old. Uptight and flustered and his team played like that too. So, yeah it's on him.
