Thompson sucked

Here's a quote from cornerback Travis Williams in the News & Observer about the coaching of the Pirates under John Thompson. He's decribing giving up a 56-yard pass that led to a touchdown on 3rd and 24:
"I was on the other side [during the play]. That just showed you, we weren't coached on third-down defense. And to be honest, we had people out there who weren't supposed to be out there at the time," said Williams. "I remember them man-up, smash-mouth, they beat us in every phase: offense, defense, coaching."
Nice insight into what a weak suck Thompson was.

Thanks for the insight Captain Obvious!

It was clear to most from the outset - meaning BEFORE he was hired - that he was a bad, bad choice. Another feather in the F-You Cap from the astute Mr. Hamrick.

Anyway, thank God that he is behind us.
