It?s clear that we just don?t have horses regardless of coaches
LOL ... right. We ain't got Bama or LSU horses but we ain't this bad either.
Man. This isn't a talent issue.
Our coaching talent is nonexistent
You misspelled effort
they aren't afraid of nor do they respect the coaches. If they did, they would exhibit some enthusiasm.
^^THIS^^
It's either there or not. I believe it's the latter. We have the heaviest OL in the league but also probably the weakest from a S&C prospective.
more fats to sprain
I agree. No speed on defense. None.
No playmakers at WR. A QB that can’t see the field, watching the rush.
When these hayseeds get Gruden for HC and Marino for QB coach next year, they’ll be disappointed again.
It's all of it folks. A ton of folks said this was a 6-7 win team. We have the talent of a 6-7 win team.
Problem is we have a coaching staff and head coach that doesn't elevate us at all. But let's be clear. We don't have anywhere close to the talent the upper middle tier has. We are clearly better than the cellar of the SEC. But numbers 4-8 in the conference are way the hell better than us and that wasn't the case most of the time under Mullen.
I think the excuse makers in this thread would be pleasantly surprised next season if this subpar talented team had a competent coach
Extremely. We do what needs to happen and hire Norvell, Napier, Clark, Hud, etc and this team is completely different next season. I can guarantee that we will be much more prepared and give more effort with any of those guys, just from watching their current teams.
When you play a FCS team coaching doesn't matter as much - you should straight up be better than the man opposite you if you're an SEC player. We can't cover their receivers, our DL can't whip their DL, our OL is not totally dominating their DL, or WR aren't getting open very much. We simply are NOT winning 1:1 much anywhere. Call it coaching, call it S&C issues, but we simply look like crap a ton.
If you took the names of the jerseys off would you think this was an SEC team vs a FCS team?
No he's correct. Go compare our group of WRs to the rest in the conference. How about our DL? Secondary? None of those units as they look now are top half of he SEC even with good coaching. Having bad coaching makes it worse but those units aren't mid tier in the conference period.
Exactly. Hhow many times have you seen a WR of ours make a catch then just make a play that's based on pure talent where he makes a guy miss and gets YAC. I bet we're last in the conference in YAC unless Vandy is worse. In almost every other game I watch the WR look better than ours. I'm not trying to make excuses for the coaches - it's bad - but we're sorely lacking in talent in a few key areas to properly compete in our league.
We've got too many people that just want to blame Moorhead 100% because they are pissed. He gets a lot of blame sure. But we are young and lacking in talent and experience at some positions on the team. And guess what? No matter who we bring in, WR is going to be pretty awful. Secondary will be iffy too.
So Zuber kicks ass in the Big 12 but now doesn't have talent to compete with ACU? Those Dline are mostly 4 star recruits and Rivers had a higher pressure rate than Sweat. So now he doesn't have talent?
Look, we don't have Bama or LSU talent but we damn sure have as much or more than UT, UK, Mizzou, UM, SC, and Vandy. This is purely an excuse for shitty coaching and leadership. A new coach can win 6-8 next year but I am sure Joe can get us to 4.
See this is the problem. Not a single freaking person gave Moorhead an excuse. None. Saying we don't have middle tier talent at some positions after saying Moorhead is mostly to blame isn't giving Joe a pass.
Some of you go full on stupid when it gets time to look for a HC. Can't even have a civilized conversation. It's either all Joe 100% or you support Joe and defend him. How stupid is that?
I literally said "having bad coaching makes it worse". So you took that as me defending Joe and giving him an excuse?
I would like to know how you went to me excusing him after I said we have bad coaching.
Additionally, comparing Sweat and Rivers is reaching at best. You compared one person. On a team of 85. Try harder next time.
Mullen did not leave the cupboard bare. He left us with a dang good roster and last years recruiting class was good. It's similar talent to what we've had the last 10 years. What's the difference now as opposed to when Dan was here? Coaching! Mullen got the most out of his roster, Joe hasn't. Not rocket science.
Ok ... I'll grant we have some young talent. Now we don't have LSU or Bama talent. Probably not AU or TAM but closer. And Shoop's secondary is depleted too with injuries and what not. On O tho, first you don't keep starting someone who can't catch a cold. Our Oline should be much better than they have been. If Hill won't block start Witherspoon. Don't know but I'm guessing his RS may be gone (hope not).
But when you don't work them hard, coach them hard, and work hard on good game plans you get about 70% of what they're capable of. Not real sure on the percentage but just taking a wag. I know it's significantly less than 100% tho.
Personally, I cannot see one area of the program outside of recruiting that is going well. And the verdict is still out on that this year. Last year we needed some LBs and RBs and came up short. We seriously deficient in RBs next year. Class wasn't evened out that well at all IMO.
Some of the problem is he isn’t playing the best players. Start Shrader, Payton, and Dontae Jones and that in and of itself would help the offense out. Heck start Zuber or even Austin Williams is better than Guidry. Malik Dear has been wasted this year too even after being productive against Kentucky at running back.
I can name about 80 other college programs in the country that would trade our talent for theirs yesterday. Talent is there. Coaching talent is not.
Why is this so difficult to comprehend? I means it?s a little above coloring book level cognitive thinking, but anyone with the ability to access the Internet and navigate said internet to a message board should be able to figure this out for themselves.
