Patenaude > Long

Offense wasn't the worst problem when PNode got the boot. It sure as hell is now, tho.

And the OL has been poor for 4 straight years.

Time to clean house.
 
To be fair, we have a lot less talent on offense this year that we did in 2020 and 2021.
 
With the QB and OL situation there’s no OC that can save us

Patenaude’s offense was outgained and out scored by the citadel.
Both Patenaude and Long were very uninspired OCs. At least we beat WCU instead of the citadel disaster.

Considering Long went also went 2-10 as OC at his previous stop, I'd say "uninspired" is one word for it, yes.. I'd take beating WCU over losing to the Citadel though. I hope to have that completely erased from my memory soon.

I would have never thought I would say it but it’s true. What is our current offensive identity? We rarely establish a run game and I’m not sure what the heck is going on with our RB rotation. Dontae‘s talent has been wasted this year. I guess we are a horizontal short passing team? He’s our new Collins. Not surprising Tulane went 2-10 with Long calling plays and now they’re 8-2 and ranked in the top 25 without him. He’s been a horrible hire.

Two more weeks on this Batan Death March then we finally start the first half of the final liquidation process of the Bobinksi/Bud Peterson Error.
Four more months and we'll start the final half of that liquidation. And finally ... mercifully ... we'll have removed all remaining vestiges of Bobinski and Bud Peterson being in charge.
 
One criticism of Doctor ratings (e.g., top ten cardiologists in [your town here]) is that such ratings penalize doctors who take the tough cases since they obviously have a higher death rate among their patients. So doctors who only take healthy patients seem better but may not, in fact, be better.

I didn't so much defend pNod when he was fired as much as point out that he wasn't as bad as everyone was saying he was. I'm sticking to that. I'm also saying the same thing about Long - he's better than he looks.

As a previous poster suggested, its really the players. Of course Long looks better at ND than he looks here. Send us the ND offensive roster and Long will look like a genius. Give Gorden Ramsey a dead opossum and guess what - you ain't getting a tender steak.

I have it on good authority that Collins specifically vetoed portal opportunities that Key wanted to pursue. I'm not giving Key a pass but he was micromanaged by an idiot.

Bottom line - we are getting an all-new staff in a few weeks so, if nothing else, we will have some fresh names to complain about.

Is this a basketball post? Because I’m hoping this is a basketball post.

P’nut had Gibbs and Mason in the backfield, 2 NFL players. He also had an OL capable of blocking for RBs, one of the top in the nation. That’s a of seed corn to plant a moneymaking crop most OC’s would be envious of. He couldn’t figure out he was was better off plowing the field and planting the corn he had so he wandered around the back 40 looking for a clue and starved himself to death. He was one dumb öööööööööööö that P’nut.

I’m not sure I understand the farm metaphor, but one thing I will have to disagree with is that P’nut had an Offensive line capable of blocking for the running backs. If anything I would say this year’s offensive line is an improvement over any that P’nut had to deal with.

Personnel-wise we are a bona fide dumpster fire.

I was wrong, I just assumed P’nut was the worst because he was so dumb. For example, he’d describe an RPO play with the video running and it wasn’t an RPO play at all. It wasn’t just once, he’d do it all the time. Almost like the brainless idiots that would talk about Triple Option plays that weren’t.

For the record P’nut inherited the 19th best offense in all of college football and proceeded to improve then to 94th, 92nd and 78th.

I hadn’t looked it up but Chip has taken us all the way to 111th! Really quite remarkable.

In 10 years with an offense completely decimated by injuries we managed 78th. That was an outlier.

But at least we ran plays from the shotgun, so it's okay.
