Everything is definitely not fine. That's easily seen and understood.
The question, then, becomes what Todd Orlando should be doing differently than he has. If you're going to advocate firing someone, you can't simply say, "The results aren't what we want.". You should be able to point to actual mistakes that shouldn't have occurred. Otherwise, you're not solving any problems. You're just venting blame.
Remember the beginning of the season when Texas knew it was replacing 8 members of its defense. We knew those replacements had spent time in the program, and were more veteran than their status conferred. Well, against KSU, we're getting back FOUR STARTERS out of that group from injury. That means replacements for the replacements have been playing some or all the games since oSu.
For further thought, go back and see the roster attrition on the defensive side for the last season of the Charlie Strong regime and the first year of the Tom Herman era. Kids leaving when the coach is fired is to be expected, and that happened. Texas still hasn't built that particular cupboard back up yet.
Big 12 offenses are cruel. Orlando may indeed be managing a disaster by just trying to keep pieces from breaking worse. I'm not swearing that he shouldn't be questioned. I'm just saying that it's easy to rail on the coach when results aren't up to our expectations. I'm saying those expectations might not be reachable by anyone given the current facts.
