I’ve got a few takeaways from this video:

1. Tom Allen is a good fit. He will get this turned around. Not hopeful for this season but he will. He knows what’s wrong but he has to work with what he’s got mid-season.
2. I’m interpreting what he’s emphasizing on recruiting as things that we are lacking. Specifically, we have many players on D that don’t love the game. That explains the lack of energy and intensity we’ve seen.
3. The comments on coaching the coaches … sounds like he’s got his hands full trying to develop the staff, and the bit about managing attitude from the players. No bueno. This explains why we’ve not seen any development of players over the past years.

Listen closely. Allen said a lot. Sounds like major staff and personal changes coming IMO

Why is Allen never aggressive?

Zero blitzes every game.

Wasting talent

Because the back end is out of position a lot.

tired of all the talk. Coach them up and play the best ones. Get something out of them.

Some of us know the truth. Dabo was nothing without Brent Venables. Dabo will be nothing without competent assistants. Not sure about Allen. He deserves at least one more year.

This is literally true for any HC in football. HC is as good as the staff he hires and how well they work together.

And who brought on the many inexperienced friends, family and former players and put the on the gravy train to pad their wallets? Just yes men, head nodders and window lickers…

AMEN,
Need to let TA & GR clean house of the coaches and bring in "COACHES" they have worked with before.
Try and see if that helps. Can't be any worse than what's happening now.

Allen came in publicly critical of Goodwin and the previous season’s defense. I didn’t like that. I thought it was unprofessional. So he can take the heat with the D underperforming this season.

You didn't like the truth? He's still dealing with players pork chop brought on board. This guy has been upfront and honest from the get-go. This horrible season didn't start this season. It's been a steady demise for 4-5 years culminating into what we're all seeing on the field.

Unless and until Dabo makes major changes with position coaches, support staff and his personal handcuffing of the program for limited portal use and recruiting nothing but choir boys we will continue having these types of seasons.

I expect noticeable improvement next year. There better be. Almost at a point where there's no where to go but up.

I’m surprised he showed up for this. What an embarrassment.
