That's the link to the article. It states that coach Cam Cameron somehow has managed to maintain a positive attitude and that he says he relies heavily on his faith and on lessons he learned from a one-time neighbor in San Diego, the late Admiral James B. Stockdale, a decorated Vietnam War veteran. The statement wrote, 'No one can make you a victim of your circumstances but yourself.'
The statement of the year because Cameron is a victim of his own circumstances and no one made it for him. That includes bad playcalling, and bad QB decisions.

The defense completely falling apart had nothing to do with it?
Before the injuries, the offense looked pretty darn good to me and was still growing.
I'm not saying Cam does not have some fault in this, but its not all on him.
And what was the Bad QB decision? Would you have rather had Culpepper who can't beat out McCowen???? -
IMHO the QB decision to start John Beck is what I was refering to. We have all debated this and it will keep on going, but Cleo Lemon was playing pretty good and should have stayed there unless an injury. I know some things that Cam Can't control, but he is the HC and it all starts there.

not to mention the media was also shredding him big time for keeping cleo in as long as he did...
it is soooo true that he's damned if you do, damned if you don't....i guess thats why they make the big bucks though -
Yeah , Lemon didn't play like an All-pro but I've always thought that he should of stayed the starter until an injury.
-
You're essentially blasting Cameron for doing one thing that everyone wanted him to when, to date, he had generally disregarded external opinions. -
-
I want to say at least we'll win a game next season, but if Cameron and Mueller are still at the helm, I'm not so sure.
-
Cam is very reluctant to play anyone that he feels is not 100% ready to play.
See, "stubborn as a Missouri mule".
I for one am very happy with Cam's handling of John Beck, he's not a porcelin doll who will shatter with the slightest touch, his maturity is an asset in that regard. -
It produced one of the great SNL sketches a week later, with Dana Carvey as Perot driving Phil Hartman as Stockdale into the countryside before dumping him out of the car and speeding away. -
