Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

[Son of Spam]

It's that kind of shit that has turned me against Pittman being a good coach. The fact that it was just a standard handoff into the pile was even more infuriating
 

KJ could have kept it and the RBs could have pushed him for the first down. Simple.

It is interesting that this time, there is no one defending or coming to the aid of the head coach.  With coaches in the past there was a clear divide.  This time, there is no divide.  That tells me that his time as coach is done.

I recall a KJ QB sneak play where he uses his size and also everyone gets behind him to push. Seems like it worked.

Enos doesn't have that play?

I'm pretty sure we used it this year. It is literally unstoppable and we do that shit.

After watching the Eagles QB sneak on literally (do not check) every 4th and 1 play for a year, it's criminal to not do the same with a QB KJ's size. 

Unless we've tried it and it won't even work in practice against our defense because the OL is so, so freaking terrible.

Blocking is so bad a QB sneak won't work but a run up the gut out of the shotgun is the answer?  Stupid fucking coaching decisions. 

Roll him out.  Give him a run or pass option. Super simple.

You guys under estimate the bravado and hubris by Pittman and or his staff. This staff evidently didn't know their offensive line was this fucking bad and failed to address issues in the off-season. Remember the bragging about the defensive line in August. Boy oh boy.

This was a challenge testing our manhood and when it failed it told BYU all it needed to know about who the cake eaters were on the field. It wasn't so much that we went for it on 4th and 1 it's how we did it. That was about as emasculating as Chad's not going for it against Colorado State but had we just ran a ho hum 4th and 1 to the flats or something to the red hot TE...I don't it would have hit us as hard. This was a goat fuck decision and I think everyone in the stadium knew it when it happened just like we knew it when last season Bobby went for it on 4th and short and knew EXACTLY what was about to happen.


 I actually do think our defensive is pretty decent ish...if nothing else it's deep with serviceable players unlike prior years. That depth may prove helpful as we get deeper into the season.

We have too many big, slow, weak, white guys on the OL. And I don't mean that to be racist.

I knew we were in trouble yesterday when the teevees showed the OL lineup and 4 of the 5 linemen were smiling white boys that looked like they share the same hairdresser and couldn't wait for the post-game Bible study on the book of Job.

What I wouldn't give for another Dan Skipper in war paint.

In the preseason the coaches didn't think it be like that but it do.

Sadly, I think that's exactly it.

The media oddly always blew Tom Brady for being the master of the 4th and short sneak.

He didn't do anything special and wasn't very strong. He succeeded at it so often because he played for a smart coach who didn't do dumb shit like line him up 5 yards behind the LOS and hand it off to a back standing beside him when he needed inches and could largely have his QB fall forward for it from under center.

KJ is 250 pounds. Dominque Johnson is also 250 fucking pounds. Just have KJ take it from under center and Johnson push his ass forward. Hell, have Dubinion push Johnson's ass forward into KJ's.

This isn't rocket surgery.

Yes yes...the Maryland I would have worked for sure.

[Trigger7672]

It didn't matter because we won the game, but the delay of game on 3rd (or 4th?) and goal from the 1 in the Kent State game we had...how in the fuck do you ever let that happen as a coach?

[The Reverend SnoopHogg]

Whoever called that fourth and inches play from the shotgun should have been fired within the next 30 seconds. WTF?

Someone should have called timeout before the snap and fired anyone associated with that shit.

I figure Mel Tucker will be back with Saban next season (if Saban is even back next season), surely giving yourself a handy while on the phone with a professional victim is not a crime. 

Unrelated but I also count on this Milroe kid looking like a Heisman candidate against us.

Milroe looked good against us last year when Young went out.

So you can fire the OC mid-season.
