Moorhead adjusted the offense to his players strengths for the Auburn game last year and won a huge game. But refused to stay with it because it wasnt what he wanted to run. He wanted to run his O instead of what was best for the team. Thats the bottom line. We had plenty of talent on offense last year- we just didnt use it correctly.Quote:

You forgot to include that any coach with half a brain knew this year was gonna be a rebuilding year with younger players. Start the total install this year. Adapt the O last year as you said.Quote:

We did not hire him to continue Mullen's offense. Our QB couldn't hit the broadside of a friggin barn, and Mullen never trained WRs worth a crap.Quote:

Moorhead is our coach and will be for the next 3 years minimum. He should be, and is doing a HELL of a JOB!
Moorhead has underwhelmed but is recruiting well. The jury is still out for sure Mrs Moorhead and we will see what happens.Quote:

To act like we will never have the talent we had last year is the other extreme to 007 thinking we could win 11 this year. We probably have as much talent on the Oline now especially with the freshmen. Gay and Dantzler are both early draft guys even if Errol isn't. Cole has looked good in spurts but this is his first year actually playing from Juco. Abram was a lot better his second year. Rivers has been disappointing but still solid. Autry will probably get drafted unless the suspension hurts him.
If Stevens stays healthy then he could be a mid round draft pick along with Kylin being an early pick. There is talent behind all these guys so the woe is me attitude is just acting like little bitches. Who knows if Moorhead is the right guy but he is a hell of a lot better than several other coaches in the SEC.
A) because Mullen usually started the season playing LSU and Auburn in the 1st games of the season.Quote:

C) JRob had 100-plus in games 2-5 in 2014. Dak or JRob had 100-plus in 6 straight games that year. JoMo having a weak schedule to start the season doesnt make for a great offense. We played a soft early schedule yet are 60th in scoring currently and 71st in Total O. Mullen finished 16th in the country in 2014 in scoring O. JoMo wont touch that
We'll see at end of year and at draft. I haven't said we couldn't do it again but it is and will be infrequent.
99%, 99%, 90%, 80%, 45%, 95%, 35%, 35%, 99%, 15%, 99%, 95%.Quote:

ETA: Yes I was a bit of a homer on them. Oh well. It was preseason and I bought the hype. Don’t argue with me on what they are now because believe they are different now. Tell me Shrader is starting UK and Tommy has a bum arm for half of KSU, Shrader plays the other half and my percentages go way down for us.
So we've already lost a game you gave us a 90% chance of winning. 45% this week is quite generousQuote:

And if Auburn loses their starting QB along with their best defensive players then you would think that would change the percentages also. Let's not act like the outlook for the season didn't change by losing Stevens and several of our best defensive players. Gay and Autry make our defense a hell of a lot better. I would say having both and a healthy Stevens would have changed the outcome of the KSU game.Quote:

Moorhead is already in a high level. His first season ended rank and you yourself stated he is recruiting well. Moorhead is at 11 wins in his second year. And he has beaten top 20 teams... In fact a top 10 team.
The fact is that his system is a more open one. It's a better offense.
Hell, I question 15% against Bama more than anything else in his probabilities. I would put it at 1% unless their entire team gets the screaming dookies.Quote:
