Thanks, Steve for summing up what you read for those of us that can't afford a pay site right now.
It makes me feel much better to hear these points. I hope Meyer is pissed and ready to make some wholesale changes. If I were Foley and he didn't, then it would be time for me to sit down with my head coach and evaluate his production, desire and commitment to our school. As long as Adazio is not the OC next year, I'll be happy. I'm not sold on the new DC either. The QB coach is questionable and our WRs are playing like crap for the most part. I wondered why Newton wasn't shown the same leniency as other players. I always figured maybe he wasn't prepared to work hard to get back into the program? Anyway. Like most of us, I want answers, and I want the Coach Meyer from 2009 and before back. The one that had the passion for winning. In all kinds of weather......
