That doesn’t sound any better. As a coach, you really have one ööööing job. Prepare your team to play the game - the team that trotted out there on Saturday wasn’t even fundamentally ready to play that game. What’s more, the coaches did not appear to have any kind of game plan.

Maybe it’s the nature of this ATL bullshit, but the optics make it appear as though our offensive coaches are just winging it. Then, at the half, there aren’t any real adjustments that I can see where coaches are responding to what they are seeing on the field. Our successes, what few there have been, appear to have come from the personnel on the field willing öööö to happen - guys like TO, Mason, and Camp - not from coaching leadership.

It’s a pathetic showing from the coaching. The players are working hard. They are buying into “the culture” or whatever. They are doing their jobs, which is to give 100% and listen to their coaches, the problem is the top coaching minds are out of their ööööing league.

Perhaps overconfidence led to complacency.

Perhaps overconfidence led to complacency.

Again, that’s a coaching problem. If this team got “complacent” after squeaking by a pisspoor USF team at home, then the coaches aren’t doing an adequate job of getting after these kids to work harder. If you’re saying the coaches got complacent, well, again, that’s ööööed up.

The only reasons I can imagine are lack of effort, lack of preparation, and/or poor coaching.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah those are part of the reason. I don’t think there’s a single reason though. I think the biggest single thing is play execution. That falls on the players.

Certainly there’s a factor of putting your men in the best position to win, and I do question what we’ve seen on offense. But I don’t think it’s arbitrary what we are running.

I keep asking myself, why don’t we see something different on offense? The only thing that really makes sense is that they’re incapable of doing it as a unit. Be it the OL, QB, TEs, WRs.

Can’t throw quick slants if your QB can’t throw. Can’t throw 5 and 7 step drops if your line can’t block. Cant do anything when your center fucks the snap up.

Then, when everything is finally done right, we can’t get open or the ball is held on too long or the WRs/TEs get alligator arms.

That’s player execution, not coaching.


I’m not absolving the end of game clock management catastrophe.


By the way, Thacker and Collins held Navy to 17 points last year- so its not exactly the coaching on defense either.
