But at least stingray is done
You can't win the big game without talent. Hevesy is a bad coach and the worst recruiter.
Glad we had that extra 2 days to prepare.** The 3rd and goal and 4th and goal runs right into the teeth of the best DL in the nation with our worst ever run blocking line just shows how stubborn (or stupid) Dan can be at times. I mean is it illegal to EVER have a designed rollout with a pass/run option? I mean at this point at least we know what we are with Mullen, we are a team that will consistently beat average to poor teams and consistently lose to good teams. Oh well, it could be worse no doubt and has been prior to Mullen's arrival.
We win out and the tune will be different. The egg cures all...
Agree about the bitching about the play calling. That's a total "fan move". Disagree about the alignment issues. Alignment issues gave Bama 2 TD's. The margin for error is too thin for that to happen and that's something the coaches can control. We had 1 guy who was hugely responsible for 3 big plays.
As for O-line issues, we sign 25 guys every year. No excuse not to have 5 good linemen. We really need to sign Lashley and Raekwon as future Left and Right Tackles.
You can call it a fan move or whatever you want- running straight Bama when we need a TD is ****ing stupid and shows yet again- a lack of imagination
If any school comes a calling for CDM , I'm guessing he is gone..
Please make the right hire Scotty... He is out there .. And he will come here...
I totally agree, but just the fact that we are requiring our head coach to call a perfect game to beat Bama, tells me that his play calling isn't the issue worth focusing on right now.
We'll never have Bama's talent, but we can certainly improve our talent in specific areas that would offer us a legitimate chance to beat them.
We need to focus on acquiring 1 5 star OL and another 4 star OL each recruiting year and all other OL must be huge. We need to continue to recruit the way we are at QB, and WR. We are good enough at these positions. We need to acquire 1 5 star DL and another 4 star each year. Simmons and Kobe Jones would fulfill this. We need to evaluate better at RB. We recruit well here but some of these 4 stars can't play dead.
We'll never have 18 5 stars but if we are talented enough on the OL to not allow Bama to get pressure with 4 guys, have a draftable QB, and can continue to limit their run game, we can beat Bama and win the West. Bama is severely limited at QB and, while their WRs are excellent after the catch, I don't think they are actually great pass catchers. We must recruit to compete with them in the trenches and have a draftable QB. We had the correct ingredients last year, this year not so much.
So who is your Rick Ray this time? You better be dusting off the coaching directory even further toward the back though. Fire Mullen and it won't be our 7th offer that accepts this time around. Other college coaches know how monumentally good the coaching job Mullen has done here is, even if wanna be internet bad asses don't.
BI want to keep Mullen with everything we have. What we need is another Brewster. We need a recruiting maniac that coaches a non consequential position. We need a recruiter on staff that is capable of pulling 2-3 elite players a year and we need to pay this guy so well that he can't leave.
We tried to hit Bear on a slant. We tried to hit Bear on a fade. Then Dak got 2 yards on 3rd down. It's 4th and 1 and we let our best player try to get in the endzone. Same play Mullen ran with Tebow a hundred times. Same play Mullen ran to beat Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. I would rather run Dak straight at them then try and run wide. Need better O-linemen. That's what it comes down to.
Mullen has become complacent on the field. R. Brown stopped Henry on that 3rd and short run. Yet Bama got an incredible spot. We should have used a time out there and raised hell. Mullen made a huge deal about being too stiff last year. Guess what, he was stiff again. I'm not asking him to run down the field and act like a clown like Malzahn, but he needs to start investing into the game. He's playing not to lose, and you'll never win a big game with that mentality.
You know what? I never had any problem talking face to face with Rocky, Jackie or Sylvester. I also had no problem talking face to face with Larry, Greg or Scott. Rather than just coming to a message board and telling us what's wrong, why don't you make an appointment with Scott or Dan after the season is over and tell them this information?
