“The week off was cool, everybody got to relax a little bit and take their mind off of what happened,” cornerback Arrion Springs said.

I am so tired of Helfrich being "disappointed" and players saying a week off was "cool"...how about "angry" or "furious" or "upset?" 

Nick Saban after Alabama BEAT USC 52-6, “If you want to know the truth about it, I wasn’t pleased with the way we played. We need to get more players that can play winning football.” 

But when your head coach is Mark "Everyone gets a blue ribbon" Helfrich and players have "cool" weeks off...well, you get what we see and no, those comments made by players after the game were not out of "frustration" but rather the "reality" both they and the fans witnessed ON THE FIELD...some coaches are in over their heads with their jobs and some players quit and / or do not care. Saban(and other elite coaches) make everyone "uncomfortable"...Helfrich makes everyone "comfortable" and the results speak for themselves.
