Lol! Now Kenn you know the day Grambling takes this mindset, we become like everybody else. Our destiny and legacy are the standard bearers.I don't recall anyone on this thread saying that this season doesn't count. It does count. And yes, the coaches are being paid to do a job.
HOWEVER
It is FOOLISH to actually give this ABBREVIATED spring football season the same kind of weight as a typical season when there is NOTHING typical about this season. One team has a seven-game schedule, some have six-game schedules and others have five-game schedules. Jackson State is going to play its third game of the season today, while Valley will be playing its first due to pandemic-related reasons. Alcorn, the defending conference champion, isn't playing at all. Alabama A&M had to scramble at the 11th hour just to play a game against S.C. State. How in the hell can anyone in their right mind truly hold coaches with typical expectations during an atypical season. But this is to be expected of fans (short for "fanatics").
I will give the Southern folks credit for having the foresight to give Odums and other coaches an automatic extension because even they know they couldn't hold the coaches fully accountable for once in a lifetime disaster that has killed over half a million people in this country alone.
Besides, we are losing because of systemic flaws coming from our head coach. We have three consecutive SWAC losses. This is not Grambling football. We lose the BC having a 21-3 lead with two RBs averaging over 6 yds / carry (punishing the Jags). We lose to J-State giving up 6.3 yds / carry and close to 300 yds. The prior week Edward Waters gave nearly 2yds fewer per carry. Yesterday it felt like we had as many punts as points against PV.
