What I Dislike About Sherrone Moore

 Many people have asked, "Peter, what is it you dislike about Sherrone Moore?"  Now, on the eve of a final, visible beatdown, one of those everyone knows it's coming but it is still humiliating games, I am providing this list.  It is all things he has done, not something vague or unprovable like "he is in over his head."

1,  He is not gracious.  He does not compliment the competition.  In post-game news conferences he shows no confidence, leadership, or enthusiasm.  He appears to lack respect for the fans, the university, reporters, or anyone besides himself.

2.  He has violations in his past and with his colleagues and he hasn't denounced it or expressed a desire to run a clean program.

3.  Recruiting with money is gross or desperation or both.

4.  He has lost too many games.

5.  He is a poor in-game manager.

6.  He has lost too many previously-commited recruits, a bad indicator.

7.  His team makes too many penalties, in particular personal fouls or unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

8.  His verbal abilities are poor; he repeats coachspeak to the point of not telling the truth, e.g., for an injury he says "he is working through something.

9.  His coaching staff is unimpressive: a defensive coordinator with no college or recruiting experience; receivers coach, offensive coordinator, special teams, and perhaps other position groups have mistakes, injuries, and other notable gaffes.

10.  He is dour.  He is downright depressing.

EDIT:  No one has asked me.  I just felt obligated.

11.  He has a temper reminiscent of Juwan Howard.  On the sideline and on national TV.  He looks unaware of his surroundings and others.  Of course he realizes the team looks terrible and it is his neck on the line..  He is handling it poorly.
