Listen, bark back all you want at every little thing. If you want to keep your blinders on all year long, that's fine. But no need to get sassy with people looking at the reality.
As for Kellen Moore, he isn't an idiot and it's not rumors. The words from his own brief statement "I look forward to embracing the challenges ahead and am eager to get started." aren't accidental. He knows this is an uphill climb and he's ready for it. I am also ready for it.
Sure, good PR says Loomis isn't going to come out and say that, but some acknowledgement of the challenges that everyone else can clearly see would calm a lot of nerves amongst the fan base and they likely give him some credit for wanting to get it under control.
