Can we end the concern about Moorhead?

[cheewgumm]

Bulldawg28 - So you think Moorhead has just watched our RBs combine for 12 carries a game and just thought ?welp, I Hope Fitz will decide to give it to them at some point. If not, oh well.?

Really?

So his job: coaching career hinges on the whims of his college aged kid QB? And he?ll watch us lose game after game not giving them the ball just waiting for his QB to ?do right??

[Dawgology]

Win next week with another good offensive showing, and I will feel 100% better

This. And I will further that. We need to make a good showing in our bowl game. It will probably be against a good defense so...

[shoeless joe]

The fact that some can't see how this was a completely waisted season is beyond me. If Jomo would have realized this was the SEC and what this team was built to do we would not have waisted what may be the best defense in the country

Looking forward to the historic regression update.**

You obviously have no idea how the option works. Nick is a ball hog. Joe can't force Nick to hand it off as the play is happening. And it's a delicate situation because the QB is a fifth year senior who has won a lot of games.

Another possibility is that d coordinators saw nick had lost a step this year so they took the handoff away wanting Fitz to run it.

Every college coach's career hinges on the ability of a college kids mental and physical ability. He inherited a Qb that's struggled running a scheme he's implemented. I think he's continued to call the plays that are open with options. Within those options are gives to the RB. The coach can't run the play for them. Could he have called more designed runs, yes. However, every game we leave 14-20 points due to missed execution or mental breakdowns. That's not the coaches fault.

Great post! This can't be said enough.

[cheewgumm]

To think a coach would sit for 11 games and watch something that he doesn?t want to happen, happen and do nothing about it is asinine.

I won?t stoop to saying all y?all don?t know what you?re talking about though that seemed to be the way. If you disagree just say the other person is stupid. That?s fine.

If you think Moorhead has watched all year begging Fitz to give he ball to our RBs and is just waitin on Fitz to finally do it, with his job in the balance, then I don?t know what to tell you.

Ok here's the deal on the LSU game. I agree on one thing you said, I didn't like that many designed quarterback runs against that defense. That just played into LSU's hands, and who they wanted to have the ball. Now you say get it in the hands of our running backs. OK, the play was there, but Aranda was not going to allow our running backs to determine the game. He schemed his defense where Fitz woud think the correct option was to keep the ball. In the KY game, KY ran a simple defense, but was able to confuse Fitz, right before he snapped the ball, into going with an option that was usually not the right one. So other than the designed quarterback runs, the running back, or passing option was there. I would have to go back and look at the FL game, but that was a real emotional game for our players. In that type of game it seems that sometimes emotions out weighs execution, and Grantham knew our offensive strengths an weaknesses very well

This is just awful. So tired too. Nobody wasted anything. If you hung everything forever on this one year then that's the problem. We have too many people that thought this was the year and the only year ever that will ever be.

You have to stop and think about whether or not you wanted this to be the year or if you potentially want more years like this in the future. Wish Moorhead had realized this was the SEC? Like what does that even mean?

Get over it. Many are starting to realize there was a lot more at play than we realized. Joe had to adjust. Fitz struggled with the offense. We incorrectly thought it was an easy transition to this offense and we were mistaken. 9-4 is not what we wanted but it's what we most likely get. Still showed signs that we are improving and getting better. Moorhead is the guy. Get over it. It would be great if we could stop the bitching and moaning of what could have been and objectively look at what has transpired over the course of the season.

I can tell you why because most of our fan base has the football IQ of an eggplant. And they are mostly just dumb sons of bitches. If they really believe fatass is that good just wait until this time next year without that great defense here his sorry ass will be gone by 2020.

[Mobile Bay]

We just beat a team that will likely finish 2-10. This proves nothing.

Great post. One thing for sure is that we are a better team than we were in week 3 or 4.

If you paid attention to the game you saw everything we're discussing play out. Fitz was 2/7 trying to run the offense. It wasn't until the coach simplified the offense to a two man option game that Fitz moved the ball. Things opened from there. However, Thompson came in with the same gameplan and executed passing and running immediately. Personnel is everything.

Not even close to accurate. We opened up the offense the second half. We didn?t simplify reads. Fitz settles down and went through progressions better.
