Why our coaching is awful- an example

Yes, a moron that would love to "almost" lose 13 games a year. Would you be happy with 13 "almost" losses?

Every season has almost wins and almost losses. UGAg in 97, NC State in 2005. We are close, but need to turn the corner. We need to shore up the DL and OL badly. We need better play/more mature TE's. There are a lot of areas for improvement.

If you want to nuke the staff and HC now and nuke the program, push for it. It will be a win/win for you because if we do that after this season, I'm out.

If by a miracle we hold this re ruining class together and our talented players don’t transfer, I could see us really turning the corner and winning 7-8 next year.

We have fans who would happily see players transfer and recruits bail just to get Monken or Bohannon in here with a 5'9" QB and 285 lb OL

Could you answer the question: would you be happy with 13 "almost" losses every year?

Things that are less important than winning
 
I don't care about whether we run the option, whether we throw it 80% of the time, whatever, let's just do whatever it takes to be successful. And, if we are going to lose, let's keep some dignity and wipe that 404 crap off the field, stop with the money down and juice crew and stop lashing out at the media for asking questions which need to be answered.

My thought, before he even threw the pass and which I said out loud with others there, was 'he put his knee on the ground'. As soon as they announced the video review, I said, 'this is coming back'. Are you saying you didn't see it?

I assume college QB's would be coached to bend at the waist if possible when dealing with a low snap to avoid ending the play. Am I wrong or is this another coaching issue? This is an area where I prefer the NFL rule.

Kid was trying to secure the ball to prevent a TurnOver and to still give the Team a chance to win by making a play.

If he plays it safe and falls on it , we had no TimeOuts, that would've led to 25 seconds or more being burned up and we have no chance to win, hard to not get low enough to make sure you have the ball

The center had TWO JOBS , make a snap, make a block.

We need 11 Guys to do their Job on every Play, FB isn't a very hard Game.

QB Center snaps are so bad we need to teach stiff leg waist bends to pick up errant snaps, not a good look for guys that are supposed to be P5 Talent Players?

What you probably get with that is something looking like Reid trying to pick up the fumble against FSU and almost not getting it.

This is complete speculation but I would guess players in general are coached to first and foremost do whatever they feel is necessary to secure the ball because in the vast majority of situations, losing the ball is way worse than losing the play and five yards.

For that reason I doubt they are coached specifically on how to recover a fumble while keeping the play alive. In this case it was very unfortunate that Sims's knee was down but I don't think it was a bad play by him, per se.

We are behind 33-30. 3rd and 15. About 3:46 to play. Sims drops back and is sacked. Play clock resets at exactly 3:40 to go in the game. We have to punt. We snap the ball with exactly 1 second on the play clock. Punt is allowed to roll and play is blown dead with exactly 2:47 to play.

IT TOOK US :53 SECONDS TO PUNT THE BALL TO THEM WHEN WE NEEDED THE BALL BACK WITH AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE.

You would have thought we were leading and killing time.

Punt team should have hurried on the field, got the punt off quickly and downed the ball if it was left to roll saving us 20-30 seconds that we needed at the end of the game.

This is part of why we lose games we should win

This has been my biggest disappointment with CGC. He came in known as a defensive specialist, but his defenses have been close to abysmal (in terms of defensive FEI):

2019: 93
2020: 88
2021: 94 (*Through 8 games)


To his credit, he's increased the talent on our roster. You can say that increase in talent has been wasted with no appreciable improvement in performance. In fact, at this rate, with the 5th most talented roster in the ACC according to 247 recruiting service, we are on track to have the worst DFEI in CGC's 3 years at GT.

How bad has our defense been? The worst season we had since the Bill Lewis was the HC is CPJ's 2015 2-9 season. That year our DFEI was 48. That was under Ted Roof. Remember Roof? GT fans' favorite punching bag until he left for Appalachian State. Roof actually had multiple DFEI seasons in the 40's and 50's. Ted Roof also had less talent to work with.

IMO, if you have a calling card, but you're no longer good at what your calling card is, then we have a problem. This is like if CPJ came in and our rushing offense was horrendous.

When we beat UNC early this season, and we put on one of the most dominant defensive performances GT has had in a long time, I thought we may have turned the corner. Maybe it finally clicked for our guys and we would get similar results going forward. Unfortunately, it's looking more and more like fool's gold. As each week passes, my confidence that CGC will be able to turn the ship in the right direction erodes.
 
sheesh…. This @PressManCoverage guy is cooking the hell out of you guys

That punt sequence is so trivial in what went on in the actual game.

For the guy who said we didn’t rollout. That’s not true either. We got sacked on what was going to be TD to Gibbs

The other time, the TE inexcusably runs back toward the qb bringing the extra defender instead of going upfield for an easy dump off

It's like the TE doesn't even know he can be a receiver. Hmmmm Searching for what one might call that.
