  If a player says he’s leaving the team, does that qualify as “all-in”? Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but I just don’t get it.

  It’s a nice quote but it’s only put into practice when convenient.

  I was about to make a similar post, Tony. And not only that, but doing it for a guy who’s so turnover prone. Goes against everything KW believes / preaches. What does one make of it?!

  I will not miss Barnes. Nor will I give him any credit for what happened this season. He’s not worthy.

  I can see Whitt thinking that Barnes gives us the best chance to win, but after his first half performance, I don’t know how he could still think that? Roll tape on the Baylor game same Barnes, same issues, zero growth on decision making through the season. Your dude is in the transfer portal, let him go. Hell we could have probably scored 7 points running the wildcat all damn game.

  You missed the fine print.
  
  All in or in the way.
  
  *Unless you play with heart, then you can be in the way to the point that you literally drive other players to the transfer portal.

  Think we would have had a better chance of winning with Johnson at QB? I sure do.

    Johnson was never given a fair shot with an open playbook unfortunately, just a sad deal

      Amen. He never even got a week with QB1 reps. He was 6/7 against Baylor, 13/21 against Weber, 9/17 against UCLA, and 8/23 against OSU (who turned out to be pretty good). The coaches then refused to play him and instead went with the turnover machine. Whitt and Ludwig shouldn’t be anywhere near the QB room from here on out. Let go of one of the defensive coaches and bring in a QB guy.

        So get rid of a coach who’s unit is performing up to standard so that you can force another assistant to help the coach(s) who aren’t? That model is how successful businesses and programs fail.
        
        Identify the problem, correct the problem. Letting it continue unabated while reallocating resources is going to cost more in the long run than you could ever hope to gain.

  Barnes, outside of the USC game, is the definition of in the way.
  
  I think Whitt let himself get a little to much infatuated with the grit of Barnes.

    USC defensive backs didn’t think Barnes was in the way.
