It's not- but with Rogers going forward and now that we are past Alabama and that mental hurdle I think we can average 21 PPG with him. Which assuming our defense maintains what they are doing should be enough to win 2-3 more this year.Quote:

Cohen and a bunch of the idiots in our fanbase should STFU and let Leach coach. No spring, massive locker room cancer, and 17ing Sloppy Joe's culture cannot be fixed in 5 games. Get back from the ledge and let the man work.
We have not even had a bad year yet. That is how moronic many of the people on these boards are. It's half a bad year. Nobody turns a ship as close to sinking around as Leach inherited with six weeks of camp, no spring, and five weeks of games. It just doesn't happen. That is not how football works.Quote:

I don't think Cohen is a problem on letting CML coach, and basically not our overall fan base( just some vocal ones on message boards).
Only a fool thinks an immediate turnaround happens.Quote:

I am trying to convince myself that the people you are referencing are Ole Miss trolls. There is absolutely no way anyone with an elevator that goes all the way to the top can have the opinions they have or ask the questions they are asking right now. I really did not know these type people existed.Quote:

Maybe Cohen didn't get to dig much deeper than the surface. And on the surface, it seemed like a great hire.
And you could have written off the 7 straight Apple Cups as Washington simply having more talent. But for the first time in his career, he's faced the Washington Defense 4 games in a row.
Adapt or Die.
Resign.
Id like to know the true story of what went down Thanksgiving night to firing JoMo to hiring Leach.Quote:

F. Cohen takes off the rest of the season and quits. Coaches baseball at a small school
Somewhere else. Lets us hire a real AD
All of you need to go and watch the intro video of Leach as head coach again. The AD stated several things of why we did not hire Leach and then said why we hired Leach.
Watch and then sit back and wait.
Methinks the AD expressly thought we need a re-build. Of our minds.
Are you tarded? You sound like you are tarded.Quote:

2. I don't think they realize how bad some of our players are. So when they fail- despite the fact that some of those players have had the EXACT same issues with other coaches- well again it's the coach's fault. Apparently they think the coach has to catch the ball and block for them now I guess.
We never "had" Napier. If we did we would have hired him. And Cohen didn't lose him- I don't remember anyone on here on anywhere else saying that. That's was 100% Napier's decision. Leach wasn't Cohen's first choice. It's not like Cohen was hellbent on running the Air Raid like Byrne was hellbent on running the spread option. I'll even go so far as to say that Cohen probably would have hired Napier over Leach and there is 100% no doubt that he would have hired Joe Judge over Leach. And who knows who or what kind of offense Judge would have run here?Quote:

Long term it will be beneficial because we are playing top flight competition so there is something to be said about that.Quote:

My point, Cohen And Keenum screwed up waffling on Joe and left themselves with fewer candidates. That can't happen.
The whole press conference speech was Cohen telling everyone why he fired Joe just After signing day. Leach, while he was probably told of the discipline issue and to clean it up, was hired because he was one of few candidates interested.
Some of us just see some things on the field that stand out terribly. DCs are having a field day with our offense because there is almost zero misdirection. I don't disagree with any of the culture & talent issues that we are dealing with. The fact that we are losing games does not bother me. It's the fact that when I watch us play on offense, I feel like our guys are not being placed in a situation where they can succeed and nothing is being done to make up for any deficiencies we may have. What that shows me is Leach will never overachieve here, but will only be as good as the talent he brings in. And that's gonna give us about a 7-8 win cieling on the good years.Quote:

Little league coaches adjust to their talent.
