It?s not that hard to spot a good coach to hire at a lower tier school. Give them a few years to prove they can win with little to no talent. Have their teams go on the road and beat several power 5 teams. Win the games they are supposed to win after 3-4 years. You don?t take a coordinator who got superior talent handed to him. I have never coached football in my life and could?ve won with Barkley

- We aren't getting out talented. Till the 4th quarter today, we didn't have the right QB in place.
- With the week off to fully implement Will as the starter, I think we can get something going and beat Auburn, Vandy, Mizzou, & Ole Miss.
- When Will Rogers came in the game, it's the first time I've seen this offense look, asthetically, like the Washington State offenses I've seen on Youtube I remember commenting after watching a Wazzou game how the offensive line wasn't really challenged because the QB got the ball out so quick. Well, Will can do that.
Leach can't look back now. Will has to start

Yeah he sucked. He's starts in the nfl....

Don't be a smartass, he did suck at ECU and without that miracle season under Leach the NFL would not have given him a thought. He had the talent but he had to have the opportunity to show it in a system that fit him.

Right because nobody cam have an oppinion about coaching highers unless theyre an AD.
Guess we better shut this board down, since only SEC coaches can comment something like "kj costello isnt it, we should ride with Rogers".

It looked fine with Will in. This offense is about the QB making quick decisions. Will can do that, Costello cannot

I'll have to see more. The game was essentially over when Rogers entered.

Correct, but that isn't what lost that game.
When Leach gets this thing going with the right QB, we win that game 32-14 today

But that had nothing to do with why we lost. Our defense was good and the offense stuck in the mud. When Will came in, we ran right through them and the offense was wide open

True, but the eye movement & speed through progressions was obviously faster with Will. MUCH FASTER and guy were open. It's the most in rhythm our offense has looked since the LSU.
I think it was real. We'll see

I would like to see an entire game with Will to see how things will go before making a final judgement. I definitely believe that is the direction we have to go for now but really, even with Rogers, we only had one good looking drive. Apart from that we didn't move the ball with him either. Bama's defense isn't what it has been so we can still make some judgements in that one.

Defense playing well has us at 1-3. They are playing bad ass, but without figuring out our attack against a 3-8, we might as well kneel the ball. 35 possessions, 7 pts. That is all we have to know.
Also, we need to figure out how to block 3 guys with 5. Nothing else matters.

Whether the game was over when Will was in or not, it seems clear to me that KJ wouldn't have moved the ball like that of he was ran back out there. So whether or not Will can keep it up or not, hes the better option going forward

THIS! Why do MSU football coaches have to be so stubborn? It's complete bullshit. Short leash my ass. Costello played over half the game. Only took 9 INT's to make a change. Maybe.

I agree that we need more of a sample size with Rogers to know if we can be any good on offense with him this year. I do think we?ve seen enough of Costello to know that is a ship that has sailed though.
The two drives with Rogers that didn?t work out weren?t really his fault. He got sacked on poor protection on the first drive and then was pinned inside our own 10 and had a penalty and some negative plays on the other drive. By the same token, as good as his TD drive was, it?s also possible A&M kinda took a drive off defensively since they were up 3 touchdowns. Will did complete his last 10 passes to finish the game so that was encouraging.
He just looked more comfortable than KJ has at any point in the last three weeks. I don?t know if he?s the long term answer because it?s entirely possible and maybe even likely that Sawyer Robertson ends up being better than him. But at this point we have very little to play for this season. We?re guaranteed to finish no better than 5-5 this year and there isn?t even a bowl eligibility threshold or anything like that. Just roll with Rogers and see what happens. It would likely benefit us as we look ahead to 2021, which is the most important thing at this point.

Costello looks very uncomfortable and uncertain. Our offensive line does him no favors but he moves into the pressure. He fumbled two or three snaps today that hit him in the chest because be was trying to read the field so quick. It appears the game is moving too fast for him right now.
Will should have started today. And he should have been in during the Kentucky game before halftime.
