Very Disappointing

I don't think I understand this either goldmember, so I guess we're both a little slow. If the Headcoach can't make the decision about whether to set up for a field goal or go for broke and third and long, what purpose does he really serve? In this scenario would you really need the head coach to travel with the team? I can't imagine Spurrier, Urban Meyer, Les Miles, or any other winning coach stand for being put in such a box. If it has come to this at GT it is time to get a new HC and move on.

It's one thing if you have confidence in your coach. I think the difference might just be that we don't have confidence in our coach. Do you think any of those coaches you mentioned would have called 4 straight plays to try and set up a field goal? Spurrier would DEFINITELY gone for the TD. We have a coach that plays for close games.

Think about it - say we MAKE the field goal. MD has about a minute left. They need a FG to win. We kick off, chances are they return to around the 30 or so. They only have to go 40 yards in little under a minute to kick the game winner. I would feel much more confident about them having to go 70 to win the game than 40 against our bend not break pass defense...
 
That is the point.

GT HAS come to this, worse than this.

It is time for a new HC, and time to move on.

It took, what, 4 years to make him get a real RC. He still will not let a real OC do their job.
 
I've been more in Chan's corner over the years than not, but I think I may have finally given up yesterday. His comments about things being the same for years and not knowing what it is, as well as the decision to settle for a long FG (even 42 yards is no gimme in college ball) was the last straw for me. If something keeps happening and he can't fix it while he's the man in charge, then the problem is probably him.

What sucks is I really do like this team. I think we have a very good staff and if left to their owen devices we would be in a much better position. If we let Chan coach during the week but made him stay home on Saturday we might have something.
 
I've been reading this thread with great interest, but I gotta call bullsh*t on it. Like the posters before me, you don't hire a Head Coach to sit back and keep his hands off his team. I seriously doubt Radakovich EVER stipulated this. He may have suggested that Chan have faith in his OC, but that was probably the extent of it.

If Chan is gone at the end of the season, its not because he is meddling in our offense. Afterall, that's his business and ehat a coach is paid to do. He will be fired because he's completely inept. Like ncjacket said, his comments after the game yesterday were very telling. We have a coach who flat our just doesn't understand. He thinks his way is the only successful way. Has he actually looked at his own stats?
 
If he's gone at the end of this year it'll be because we lost 5 games and/or lost to UGA.
 
He should probably be gone even if we do beat UGAy. 1 win against UGAy isn't worth another year of pussy ball imo.
