Analytics will never win over football logic and game feel. That crap goes out the window fame by game because each freaking game is different.

And with that, I am out
Lebby hasn't built anything that could be destroyed...

The players we paid the most for sit on the bench. And our coach has made multiple decisions that lost us the game.
Of course I wouldn't. That's also not even remotely a good comparison.

Stop giving the freshman an option and just call the F'ing pass in the RPO route! Mind blowing, I know.
I mean, these coaches kill me. You get paid millions a year, and your excuse is that a freshman can't also play Offensive Coordinator mid play, so the more talented guy doesn't see the field??! Are you kidding me?! Lebby, you're the coach, want the kid to run a specific play, CALL IT. Am I living in the twilight zone here, what are we doing?
That's like me telling my child, you have the option today to do one of 3 chores....1. Clean the toilets, 2. Turn off your room lights, 3. Keep the front door shut......and wondering why the toilets never get cleaned. Take away the easier options and the more beneficial one will get done. These coaches expect these QB's to be de facto OC's and we wonder why none of them can play at State until they're Juniors or transfer out. Do your f'ing job, Coach....and if Taylor or any other QB isn't capable of doing what you need....well, you recruited them, so that's on you too.
Man this post makes way too much sense.

I believe from previous coaching decisions and results of those coaching decisions that he isn't the man for the job. We need players. We need money. For me personally.. I will no longer invest my hard earned money to a product that is obviously headed toward bankruptcy. That will be dumb on my part. The money that was raised has been invested and there is no arguing we are better than we was last year. But instead of being an 8 win team.. we are a 5 win team. In my eyes not because of talent but because of coaching. I will get criticized for this but that's completely okay
Then get off the board and take your talents to AMC or the local park. Obviously this is a source of entertainment for you that youll do everything but commit to

Thank God for freedom of choice and speech or I would have to be really worried about you. So I think I'll stay and continue to comment on a public forum where.. guess what... you comment on things and voice your opinion on whatever that topic may be at the time. It really bothers me that I'm not committed as you. Maybe you can get a statue??
Alsoooo. You're obviously very committed. Can you maybe contact some of the former and current NFL guys that played at State and ask them for a few bucks? They might can donate a little more than I can. Probably not as much as you tho.

You might be the smartest guy on this board. Replace the word "stock" with "football team", "product" with "bench", "CEO" with "coach" , "companies" with "university", and then answer the question.

You aren?t purchasing an item for future value. It?s a commodity if anything but that is still a bad example. You need X dollars of players to field a team capable of doing the things we want and that churns every single year in the current landscape. I dont like the corporate analogy because it isnt really the same thing.
A CEO can take as much debt as they want out to create leverage and prop up a product to succeed 5 years down the line. Companies operate in the red for years before turning a profit all the time. There is no getting a loan for Lebby he can work only with what is given. There is no operating at a loss for 5 years because you would be fired after year 3. Sure you can say he is the CEO of the football team but that?s about as far I would say you can make that analogy.

Thank you. It is quite hilarious seeing all these guys act like they have this magical equation to winning when the simple answer is right there. A couple big donors arent going to put us over the edge it takes complete and total buy in from all of the fanbase and it might not be immediate either
