Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)

Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three, two)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (one, lift off)
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you-
Here am I floating 'round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

I think he has finally heard some of the feedback from the fans this off-week. Maybe some of it has finally gotten through to him but its seems like this might be largely lip service. It seems he has finally realized his public response so far has not been received well at all - it has actually crashed and burned right before him and made things even worse. So he realizes there are some things he can't keep repeating but then again, he just cannot help himself. After acknowledging a few things, he goes right back into the same history lesson, factoids, and useless drivel. As many of us have said for the past five years, talk talk talk Dabo, whatever - just show us on the field. To be successful again, he is ultimately going to have to stop being so self absorbed and show the same humility Nick Saban did when he realized what had worked so well for him for so many years just was not working any more and made huge changes. All this talk about how this deterioration of the program is actually a blessing and that this may be a good thing in one person's life twenty years from now - that belongs in a voluntary weekly support group, not in a $11.5 million football coach's assessment of his program and his performance. I am not seeing any indication about significant personnel or philosophy changes. I am just seeing a doubling down on "everything is fine, just keep doing things the way we are doing them, this is just a little bump in the road, and people upset about our program's direction are "white noise." Saying this is a coaching failure sounds humble but not if it's not backed up with big changes and improvements. God doesn't say oops but Dabo should learn to say it. He is our man and he does so many things amazingly well. One of them needs to be admitting his own errors and fixing them. We don't want him to leave, we just want him to get over himself and make the necessary changes. Saban showed him exactly how to do it.
