I dont mean to sound stupid but who was Steve Frazier.

their coaches after they are fired.

I am actually a little glad he said it. It gives me some hope that there was
a minuscule level of cohesiveness on this team. I sure didn't see much of it
on the field...maybe next year.

Just an interesting side note.

Have you ever noticed that you only hear people talk about the "win at all
costs" mentality or expectations when they are losing? I mean I don't recall
Steve Frazier or Turner Gill talking a lot about this. I remember Florida
complaining about it and pointing the finger at us for playing LP in the
Fiesta Bowl.

It is kind of a verbal slight of hand. If I put you on the defensive or
direct your attention elsewhere then we don't have to deal with losing.
