I’m with you. I’ve tried to understand. I’ve tried to convince myself that maybe he would turn it around. It’s not gonna happen. He’s totally lost. Fitz is horrible yes, but wtf kind of play calling is this??? Where’s was that power run spread we ran against Auburn? That would have been good enough for at least 17 points in my opinion. This dude is lost and he looks lost standing on the sidelines.

The play calling on the goal line was just
awful...Give the ball to Hill and he leans for 2-3 yards, and we score a TD. No, instead we give it twice to a tentative QB who just ran 40 yards. After that, I knew it was going to be a long night. Fitz is not the same player he was last year and it is hurting this team. There were guys wide ass open and he never saw them. I've never been a "go to the backup QB" guy but we need a spark on offense. Our D is freakish good and any amount of offense and we are probably undefeated.

When we came out with the KY offensive gameplan and not the Aubbie GP is what did it for me. No motion just 3 wideout single back run it up the gut against one of the stoutest D's just is insane. That gentlemen/women is not Fitzs' fault but the person who designed the gameplan. Frig Greg Knox or O could be 6-1 or 7-0 with this team because they know what they have to work with and mold their plan around the onfield talent.

Burrow is asked as a QB to manage the offense, not turn the ball over and not do too much. Emsfinger is not trying to turn him into Joe Montana.

I finally went to bed before the game was over, because I got sick of seeing Fitz running up the gut. We have 2 great running backs actually 3 or 4 and we don't use them. What gives?

There's way to many wtf moments with moorehead. I don't know why Fitz has 22 carries and Hill and Williams have 14 COMBINED! Do we even have a straight handoff play in the playbook?
And this Moorehead is an offensive genius/savant is turning out to be a bunch of B F-in S! All great coaches have one thing in common. They have the ability to make their players play at a very high level. I've seen it over and over in every sport. Moorehead has done the complete opposite. Our offense is so bad I couldn't even watch the 4th quarter.
It's obvious Joe is not as gifted at calling run plays against different defensive looks as Mullen was. That shant last night looked like what you'd see watching a city league 9/10 year old football game. I couldn't believe my eyes.
Also I've been a huge Fitz homer and I hate it for the guy, I thought at least he'd improve on what he did his soph and jr seasons but after last night, we've got to at least try something different....
I had such high hopes for this season and moorehead has turned it into a complete shit show!

But certain people on this board want to give him a couple more years lol. I have to think these are Ole Miss plants because no true Bulldog fan could look at this and want it for their program.

This offense already had an identity before Moorhead. He came in with a completely different identity and our guys are confused. He told them to forget everything they were taught under Mullen. This is on Joe. Square peg, round hole.

And we thought Dan had no imagination. Dan is 1000x imaginative as our offensive genius. And why do we have olinemen stepping in front of other olinemen and letting free runners at Fitz?
You're blind if you can't see improvement.....Freshmens......Strain.....Kick rocks and pound sand......Drag my Yankee ass outta here!......

On the 4th and 3 at midfield last night RT Reese had a DE on his outside shoulder and instead double teamed the DT... the DE came in and tackled Fitz 5 yards behind line of scrimmage...

Nope not closest sharks, just the same old bulldogs that have always been and always will be. Trying to play it safe, they would much rather fix the blame than fix the problems.

I went back and rewatched (as freakin painful as it was). There is a lot of that kinda crap happening all the time on O.
After FL game I had some concerns about our D ... didn't think they played tough in that game even tho they gave up few points. Since then, Shoop changed "Competitive Tuesdays" to "Toughness Tuesdays". The D is playing their ass off now and are real physical.
My guess is Moorhead still running his normal O (not the AU O) on walk-throughs against the scout team, and when passes are completed at a high rates and pass pros are good (in walk-throughs against scout team), he pats them all on the ass and tell them how great they're doing.
In fact he mentioned last night in PC how well they had been executing in 7-on-7s against scout team. Really?? WTF?

Same thing happened at Kentucky over and over. We haven't been coached well enough to know how to defend that.

Delete, wrong post.

I wanted to give Morehead a chance, but he didn't manage the game last night. He was determined to have Fitz drop back in the pocket and pass the ball. He never attempted to build any confidence in our QB. Mixon and D Thomas should have set screen plays with their speed. They shouldn't be running routes through the middle of the field. Complete a few short passes to build confidence. Every pass play doesn't have to be a 20 yarder down the field.
Morehead is simply running a playbook and not a gameplan. We should've spread their defense out then attacked the middle with the run. Instead, we attacked the middle with the run and attempted to lengthen the field with the pass. That works when you have a QB that is confident in his arm. Not a QB trying to aim the ball. Poor gameplan, poor coaching, poor execution.

Bama’s Scout team is their first string defense... our scout team is walkons and redshirts... that’s why JoMo’s offense works in practice...
