Alright, onto Egg Bowl week. The good news is we'll be able to find a positive whether we win or lose Thursday night. Either way, it'll be a great night for MSU.
1. It's not a scheme problem. It's a culture & fundamentals problem. The offensive coaching is really really poor.
2. The coaching staff is completely broken & it's unfixable without starting over. Once Joe's original hires left,(which was a sign), he had little chance of turning it around. Even if we kept him & he made changes, who would want to come here with a lame duck coach?
3. I understand the perspective of those that think Stevens is the better QB. Problem is our WRs have sucked for 4 years & that won't change on Thursday. Throw that in with a slow developing offense, & the only real way we can move the ball is through improv. So, if Joe wants to win, he has to play the improv guy. The offense clearly runs faster & more decisive with him in the game. Clearly. It's not close.
4. I don't know if Joe inherited a bad batch of SO & JRs last year that just road the coat tails of the drafted guys or if he made them that way, but the net result is a program full of selfish players & virtually no semblance of leadership. Again, it's a culture problem that we have really not seen since Jackie's last few years. Joe could go somewhere else & become a better coach by realizing what he did wrong at MSU, but he can't fix it here. It's broken in a way that can't be repaired without the repair coming from a new coach. He simply lost control.
5. With the next hire, I don't want to hire a scheme. I want to hire a football coach. I look at guys like John Harbaugh, Nick Saban, Belichick, etc & I don't see a scheme. I see coaches that are capable of adjusting their scheme to the best players on the team. The transition that Harbaugh has made between Flacco & Lamar Jackson is stunning yet that's what good coaches do. They just care about winning & have the overall competency about football to make those adjustments effective. Hire a football coach, not a scheme. That may mean hiring a defensive guy. Not sure.
6. Georgia is going to beat LSU in the SEC Championship.
7. Really looking forward to seeing the Cowboys/Pats game today. I think a good game by Dak & a Cowboys win will vault Dak to the top of MVP race.
8. I think MSU has a lot of good young players & the right coach can get this thing headed in the right direction pretty quick. That being said, I'm sick of coaching instability effecting our recruiting. How many years in a row has instability effected our recruiting? Crazy to think how much better our talent would be at MSU if we simply either had a coach that wanted to be at MSU or a good coach.
9. Damn you Cohen. How did you hire a coach to coach an SEC football program without interrogating him to figure out if his basic, fundamental values & philosophies fit that of an SEC football program. How did that happen? I realize you get blamed for things continuously but damn. You just hired a scheme. You didn't attempt to hire values & beliefs. You chose a wife so to speak based on her looks without considering her values, her beliefs, her stability, & her loyalty. Do a more well rounded job next time, if you get that chance.
