Agreed: no apology needed to us for THAT (but of course it was probably the "required move" from a "PC/PR P.O.V.").
As for an apology "for losing to Auburn", he more or less did that in some of his post-game comments--and so what? I love Coach Boom, don't get me wrong, but I'm past drawing any encouragement from HIS passion, fire and determination:
I want to see it in his players, in this whole TEAM! The fact that so many of them STILL don't get it is a major problem, IMO. I understand that he can't and WON'T come right out and publicly talk about that, and why--but he must be thinking, "THIS is what I'm saddled with?!!" Turns out that it isn't talent that's lacking, it's character, heart, and the will to be better, to be part of something bigger than the sum-of-its-parts. The coaches alone can't give this to the players, it must come from among and within them. They MUST have leadership on the field and in the locker room, from among their own. There currently is none. Some can be nurtured, some can be brought in, but we are looking at the consequences of a (former) regime that somehow forgot (or, once Meyer to all intents and purposes "checked out", had no clue) that simple, fundamental truth while they were out recruiting "the experts' top recruiting class".
