Why the backstabbing?

[Daseal]

I can see the bitterness against Coles, because he was under contract and sneaked up on us. I think he'd still be our #1 receiver going into this year and we'd all be happy with it had the WP not leaked that story.

I think Coles liked Spurrier. A lot of the players liked him and thought he had a chance as a head coach. I personally think he can still make it in this league as a head coach (shocking to you guys, I know.) He simply treated his players like men, and not like boys as he should have. Gibbs worked all day and all night to get the same number of wins and a worse offense. Spurrier left early. What's the difference? The W column matters, not the office hours. Anyhow, even Ramsey said he thought Spurriers system could work. Everyone saw the abysmal line play and defensive woes. How many times did our defense lose the game in the final minutes for us last year? Replace Helston with Bugel and Edwards with Williams and things woulda been different.

I think all coaches should have at least 3 years to impliment their guys and their system fully. After that they better have shown SOME sort of improvement. Sorry for the rant, but I can understand his frustration with the system last year. I wasn't playing and I was frustrated!
