Sunday Morning QB- C34 is pissed off Edition

[escaladedawg]

But at least stingray is done

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

You can't win the big game without talent. Hevesy is a bad coach and the worst recruiter.

[maroonmania]

Glad we had that extra 2 days to prepare.** The 3rd and goal and 4th and goal runs right into the teeth of the best DL in the nation with our worst ever run blocking line just shows how stubborn (or stupid) Dan can be at times. I mean is it illegal to EVER have a designed rollout with a pass/run option? I mean at this point at least we know what we are with Mullen, we are a team that will consistently beat average to poor teams and consistently lose to good teams. Oh well, it could be worse no doubt and has been prior to Mullen's arrival.

[SDDawg]

We win out and the tune will be different. The egg cures all...

[TopDog58]

Mullen has to fire Hevesy. He is a total zero.

That excuse doesnt fly anymore. mullen is a top 20 paid coach. You really think that there's nobody out there that would take a 4 million dollar job? Get real

18 5 stars vs 1 5 star. Bitching about play calling is low hanging fruit and nowhere near the root of the problem. Bitching about defensive alignments is low hanging fruit and nowhere near the root of the problem. Bitching about the talent of our running backs and Hev's offensive line recruiting is hitting the nail on the head.

We can solve this, but pressure must be applied at the correct spots. Bitching out of frustration about play calling and alignments is a big waste of hot air until the root of the problems are solved.

Agree about the bitching about the play calling. That's a total "fan move". Disagree about the alignment issues. Alignment issues gave Bama 2 TD's. The margin for error is too thin for that to happen and that's something the coaches can control. We had 1 guy who was hugely responsible for 3 big plays.

As for O-line issues, we sign 25 guys every year. No excuse not to have 5 good linemen. We really need to sign Lashley and Raekwon as future Left and Right Tackles.

You can call it a fan move or whatever you want- running straight Bama when we need a TD is ****ing stupid and shows yet again- a lack of imagination

If any school comes a calling for CDM , I'm guessing he is gone..
Please make the right hire Scotty... He is out there .. And he will come here...

I totally agree, but just the fact that we are requiring our head coach to call a perfect game to beat Bama, tells me that his play calling isn't the issue worth focusing on right now.

We'll never have Bama's talent, but we can certainly improve our talent in specific areas that would offer us a legitimate chance to beat them.

We need to focus on acquiring 1 5 star OL and another 4 star OL each recruiting year and all other OL must be huge. We need to continue to recruit the way we are at QB, and WR. We are good enough at these positions. We need to acquire 1 5 star DL and another 4 star each year. Simmons and Kobe Jones would fulfill this. We need to evaluate better at RB. We recruit well here but some of these 4 stars can't play dead.

We'll never have 18 5 stars but if we are talented enough on the OL to not allow Bama to get pressure with 4 guys, have a draftable QB, and can continue to limit their run game, we can beat Bama and win the West. Bama is severely limited at QB and, while their WRs are excellent after the catch, I don't think they are actually great pass catchers. We must recruit to compete with them in the trenches and have a draftable QB. We had the correct ingredients last year, this year not so much.

[Liverpooldawg]

yes- but I was comparing the results. Stands was solid most of his career and we never sucked except for a couple of seasons. You knew he would never win anything big- but we were solid every year. That's Mullen as well

So who is your Rick Ray this time? You better be dusting off the coaching directory even further toward the back though. Fire Mullen and it won't be our 7th offer that accepts this time around. Other college coaches know how monumentally good the coaching job Mullen has done here is, even if wanna be internet bad asses don't.

I want to keep Mullen with everything we have. What we need is another Brewster. We need a recruiting maniac that coaches a non consequential position. We need a recruiter on staff that is capable of pulling 2-3 elite players a year and we need to pay this guy so well that he can't leave.

We tried to hit Bear on a slant. We tried to hit Bear on a fade. Then Dak got 2 yards on 3rd down. It's 4th and 1 and we let our best player try to get in the endzone. Same play Mullen ran with Tebow a hundred times. Same play Mullen ran to beat Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl. I would rather run Dak straight at them then try and run wide. Need better O-linemen. That's what it comes down to.

Mullen has become complacent on the field. R. Brown stopped Henry on that 3rd and short run. Yet Bama got an incredible spot. We should have used a time out there and raised hell. Mullen made a huge deal about being too stiff last year. Guess what, he was stiff again. I'm not asking him to run down the field and act like a clown like Malzahn, but he needs to start investing into the game. He's playing not to lose, and you'll never win a big game with that mentality.

That play will never work against an Alabama-like team without better linemen. We needed creativity there, yet we didn't have it.

You know what? I never had any problem talking face to face with Rocky, Jackie or Sylvester. I also had no problem talking face to face with Larry, Greg or Scott. Rather than just coming to a message board and telling us what's wrong, why don't you make an appointment with Scott or Dan after the season is over and tell them this information?

You hit on all of the major coaching errors except the Ridley TD. McLaurin was lined up on Ridley but gave a 20 yard cushion on 3rd and 5. Mullen even commented in the interview that we gave up a big play on an alignment issue. Well take a damn timeout from the sideline.

Agree on the long Derrick Henry run. If Bama sees 3 down linemen it doesn't matter if it's 3rd and 7 or 3rd and 20, they are going to run it. Beni Brown took a bad line and it was over. That one was on Diaz.

We controlled the first half and trailed 21-3. I don't know what was up with 50 yard FG attempt either. Had no chance. Either punt it or go for it.

Our coaches must think we can sale timeouts, we carried 3 in the locker room at the half. What was that about?
