This Coaching Staff Has 2 Weeks To Figure It Out

[I seen it dawg]

We look like Mullen got hired in July of this year.

I'd kill for Dan to have that passion again like he did then..and creativity in the offense.
Dan looks the walking dead trying to get through a season that he didn't want to partake in.

13 of those teams you just listed would absolutely kick our ass. I've watched a lot of college football these first couple of weeks and it is amazing how much worse we look than the majority of the teams I've seen. We look so unprepared and look as if we didn't watch a single second of game film.

Ok, but are we just talking about this year or are we talking about year in & year out?

I mean everyone but Alabama kind of rebuilds at some point right? Kind of short sighted to just look at 4 games over 4 or 5 years

He'd be such a good RB. It's hard to imagine someone making a logical decision to potentially throw away an NFL career due to this

Malik doesnt want to play RB. Im not very big on Dan right now but this is not his fault. He wouldnt play RB in high school and he wont now

I don't care where he plays on offense as long as he has a bunch of touches. Wishful thinking and all.

Seems like we rebuilt in 2011, 2012, 2013 (after a good 2010 season). Now 2015 and 2016. Some think we'll be good next year. You usually don't replace 3 O linemen, 1 of which is your center, and bust of of the gate the next year. Even Bama, with all of their talent, struggles for a while after doing that. Now take our O line talent ... what do you think is gonna happen with that. Hev probably won't have anyone practicing at center till next spring (since we aren't going to a bowl this year).

ETA: Although anyone should be an upgrade to Desper at guard. He may be a good kid but he ain't no SEC O lineman.

If we have players that "won't play x position" then they need to take their ass to the house. The coaches should determine where you play, not the other way around.

Then Dan can take the Les Miles route & slowly die a painful death.

The difference between good coaches & great coaches is the ability to adapt over time. Nick Saban & Belichik adapt all the time & put their best players in positions to be successful. If you can't do that, then you have some good years & eventually expire.

Great coaches adapt

Great post, I've said several times in other threads, you scheme to your personnel, not try to change your personnel to fit your scheme. All the great coaches do this. Hail State!
