Take how butthurt some of you are getting about comments about a team that you probably have no connection to other than you went to that school. So it's not difficult to imagine Gilbert's dad being a little defensive when criticism is directed towards his actual flesh and blood, right?
Now let's add in the fact that though perhaps impolitic and hyperbolic (the Elway mention), Gilbert was basically right on the money in that every position group on that 2010 offense was either average (maybe the WRs) or below average (every other position).
It all adds up to not something worth getting upset over.

I don't know what the answer is for Gale Gilbert, but calling out your son's former team and teammates isn't part of any solution. If your son wants to say those things, then that's different. Let him say them for himself.

Are you a father. If you are, somehow you missed the boat. That's what parents do. They try to take a little heat off their kids. He supported his kid going to Texas and didn't say a word while he was on campus at Texas. Now his son is starting again at SMU. He's trying to deflect a little of the baggage that followed Gilbert II to SMU. The reality is that Texas was a f....ing mess offensively in 2010 and 2011. Lousy offensive line. No running game. Lousy receivers. He's simply telling the truth. When he failed with no team around him; the Texas internet recruiting guru's went into over-drive tearing the kid down. Why have the kid have to say it. This way; the son stays above the mess and has an honest chance to start over again.
Get over yourself. I don't blame Gilbert senior for saying anything he's said. If I was the kid's dad, I would have basically said the same thing. He isn't playing to the U.T. audience at this point. You as much as anyone has crapped on his son for the past year. Its not really that hard to understand.
