There are some other factors that people forget outside of Meyer. While I think Meyer is a good coach, I have wondered since Mullin left if he really was the brains behind the offensive genius he had been known for. After this year, I think it has almost been confirmed, that it was Mullin and not Meyer that had the ability to adapt to the personal that they have. See IMO the difference between a good coach and a great coach can be the ability to make things work with the hand he has been dealt.
What I am wondering is WTF happened to their entire offseason? How did they not know that these problems were going to be an issue, and not prepare for them. The 8th week of the season is not the time to be trying new things and finding out who your QB is.
Bottom line...this about sums it up for Irving Myer and the Gatas.
