I hope Buzz took a look in the mirror and said he needs to do better.
He looked into a camera and said it. Will that work?
Things Buzz said after the season;
"Texas A&M deserves better".
"We have to be better"
"We got to get better in every possible way"
"We need to find ways to make our roster better"
"We need to find ways to make what we are teaching and coaching better"
"We need to find ways in every category of running a high major program better, regardless of the year"
"I think things were really good last January and February and how we ended the season. We have lost all of that momentum"
"I told the kids in the locker room to take a couple of weeks off and then we have got to get back to work"
"We've got to get better"
I don't think that stuff is coach speak. That is somebody knew things were not good and changes needed to be made as what they are doing isn't working. And telling some seniors it was time to move on was probably part of that. Maybe Coach McNeilly not being renewed was part of that change too. I imagine kids having been challenged and pushed harder than they were (and Buzz pushes kids a lot) so that might have played a factor in a couple of kids leaving (I didnt play and you want me to work this yard).
