Even if he is right, he still shouldn't have said it. Kiffin and Sark have the same problem in how they coach. They look at themselves as offensive coordinators and not head coaches. They pass the buck and blame the defensive coaches rather than understanding that they are accountable for every facet of their programs.

Maybe...
But could you imagine anyone on our staff saying something like "If we allowed MM to finish games then he would have won the Heisman"
