A very strange, even SURREAL situation, heading into Austin with so MANY of our starting PLAYMAKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL sidelined by injury...and now our embattled Coach given the greenlight "vote-of-confidence" by his AD: "Back for 2025".
How does THAT affect the team's continued drive and overall performance in this very tough environment against a very good opponent, and then onward through the rest of the season?
More than ever, all we can do now is "WAIT AND SEE". The one major point of "argument/discussion" (choose one) has been taken off the table: For the moment, MY inclination is to just step back and support our Coach--hope for the best, because the short-to-midterm future is to a great extent now set; We live with the results.
Make no mistake--I will be as apoplectic as ANYONE if things DON'T improve, positive results NOT forthcoming...ESPECIALLY if the result of the same old onfield confusion and errors, OR poor (and predictable) play calling!
(I am really, REALLY hoping a proper OC/GM/Offensive Assistant was somehow a part of this renewal/repeat "vote-of-confidence" our Coach was apparently given earlier today).
