Listening to Hopson after the game tonight revealed some things to me. He said over and over that "he hoped" the team could get their minds on football and return ready to work next week.
What are their minds on? The team obviously was not ready to play tonight. Whatever the distraction was, the responsibility for this falls squarely in Hopson's lap. Post game interviews revealed the same thing from players, that the player's minds were not on the game. Hopson's attitude was not what I consider to be the attitude that we expect from our head couch..."oh well, it is what it is"..."I hope" they can come back and get their minds on playing football???????"
I think of coaches like Bear Bryant or for that matter Bower or Monken that it is part of your life that you focus on football.
Hopson has lost control.
He needs to go.
