In response to Mike Porter
MP-Not directed specifically at you, many on here have questioned EH's playing time over the past 1.5 seasons. I agree recruiting has been lacking (at best). But unless any of us are in every practice and meeting it's tough to really understand which players are really performing at a game level. We can (deservedly) knock SD for a lot of things but historically, playing time isn't one of them. He's not political, doesn't really play favorites, and has a history of playing guys with good matchups and there are many cases where someone is buried on the bench and find their way back into the rotation. I don't know the issue(s) around Holland's playing time but it could be any number of things we don't see that happen during practice.
Coaches play guys who they think give them the best chance to win. It's also guys they can trust to make more good decisions than bad ones during games. Again, I have no idea what's up with Holland but to think anyone on here has a better idea than the coaches is pretty presumptuous. Heck, one example I remember is when SD tried to bury Darnell Foreman on the bench for his first 3 years and Darnell kept finding himself in the lineup. That's because he kept doing things that SD could trust and ultimately they couldn't NOT play him.
