Is it health, our line, or Gilbert? 

Yes

that program was a mess. they got blown out by BC last year. won't take him long to turn it around with his recruiting chops and that schools ability to draw recruits. they play with a lot of emotion.

100% agree. I’d KILL to have xCWT back on the sidelines running the GCO.

My fiancé is an FSU grad and she’s not as convinced, but I told her about the one game against Syracuse when the light switch came on and we were never the same again.

Time will tell with Willie at FSU, but I’m on the xCWT bandwagon still...

Truly terrible. If that were a running back line it would be bad. 

Many issues with the offense, bb is a check down machine and the play calling isn't helping

Less than 100 passing yards in a game in the modern era of CFB is just plain pathetic.

Gilbert continues to put our guys in position to fail rather than succeed and it’s disheartening.

Also, I’d say it’s time to see what BK can do with some game experience in the system.

Looking at this season, we lose the following games if we didn’t get the lucky break: 

GT (4Q fumble) 

Illinois (late TD was almost dropped) 

Tulsa (gw FG) 

I’ll give us the ECU win since it would have still been tied without the Cronk win.

Our real record should be 4-8 after the season. Holtz finished his second year 5-7. Holtz had a few last second losses that year that didnt break his way, in which Strong had some last second wins break his way. They are two peas in a pod as far as coaching goes, and unless the staff is shaken up, we are in for a Holtz-like 3 win season next year under Strong. 

 

Eerily similar...right down to the getting up a score and going right back to the vanilla, run the clock, conservative, play not to lose mentality.

In my eyes it’s a generational thing with how they learned the game. Sorry to burst your bubble CCS and XCSH, but a two touchdown lead with an entire half to play doesn’t hold up in college football any more. Hell, it’s not holding up in the NFL either. 

You have to keep scoring and can never take your foot off the gas.

Say what you will, but XCWT and XCJL both knew you had to step on someone’s throat and never let them up for air.

And Anthony Collins went to Texas A&M. Other than that, spot on post.

Ah yes, my bad. I’m watching the WVU vs WKU game and thought I remembered him playing for Huggie Bear.

Getting old stinks...

I don't dislike Rideau, but he represents this team's ceiling. This team will go as far as he can take us. He doesn't have to be a great shooter, but his FT shooting almost cost us the Austin Peay game. He seems to be a pretty good decision maker and an above average defender. 

Castaneda is not ready to run this offense which is why PG depth is a big concern for me. I suppose Collins could fill in if needed, but that wouldn't be ideal. 

Collins has an 8th year and transferred back from WVU?! 

Start the man!

But seriously, if this team hits the boards, plays hard and can make a few shots, they’re going to be better than expected.

As I mentioned in another thread, we tried Ford on a go route against Tulane when he was matched on a LB and he beat his guy buy multiple steps. Would’ve been a great play to break out against Cincy last week, but nope. 

Simply splitting Ford outside when CO is in the game would create mismatches across the board. QB run threat from empty, LB on Ford, McCants in the slot, etc. We aren’t using our talent efficiently whatsoever 

Hire this man!

The same one that we have seen all year. Fall behind early, don’t stop the run.

So USF circa 2013?

His uncle was OK in Saved by the Bell:  The College Years.  You know, when he played a 40-yr-old creeper RA.

Ha, never saw that one as I was a SBTB original guy (btw, anyone ever notice Zack was kind of a huge ****!). 

Creeper sounds about right.

what a twit

he keeps referring to UCF as the Bulls and all other kinds of inaccuracies.

His Dad is a twit too...seems to be par for the course at ESPN nowadays.

Also that Cronkrite transferred here from UF?

Mind blown!!!

did you read my post or just assume I think we should givbe the special teams coach a ******* raise?

Sorry, didn’t mean to come across so harsh in my post - mea culpa.

I’m just frustrated with the regression in all phases of the game and it’s hard to watch the guys be put in a position to fail week in and week out.

this thread is silly

I mean-- of all the things going on with this team, you decided this was the one area we need to fire a coach for? Pretty sure all the coaches have a hand in special teams

Still feel this way? 

Or would you like to see another blocked kick or ridiculous penalty?

That was a pass to a RB. Something I think we’ve done 5, maybe 6, times all season

That can’t be legal!!!(Gilbert’s inner monologue)

Ugh, busted coverage.

As much as much as I love Tyre, I don’t like putting McCants on punt return. Yes, he can catch the ball, but I’d much rather see Ford (or another speedster) back there with the potential to break one at any moment.

Just feels like another instance of CCS being conservative when he doesn’t need to be.
