USF 24-21 Sands Wilcox 435

You’re correct. My mistake.

Uhhh.... (2-11) San Jose State - win by 20, but down 16-0 in Q1. San Jose was one of the worst teams in the country in 2017 (FCS) Stony Brook - Win by 14, trailed 10-7(!) at half (5-7) Tulane - Won by 6 @ home (2-10) Tulsa - Won by 7 @ home (3-9) UConn - won by 17 @ home UConn & SJSU were 2 of the worst teams in FBS football that year. Wins by 17 & 20 point margins with the talent we had is embarrassing. This isn’t even counting the Houston loss which was severely mismanaged, as well as the obvious Orlando game

Or maybe you’re just late in seeing what most of us have been seeing for the last 18 months? A bad coach is a bad coach, period. When you have a bad coach, there’s no such thing as firing them prematurely. You have to rid them from the program ASAP. Look inside our own athletic department to see what it looks like when a real HC takes over - Brian Gregory. Look how quickly expectations and excitement levels changed. That’s what happens when you have a real coach.

He’s deserving of PT, that’s for sure. I’m skeptical that he’s “the guy”, but we could do worse at the position for sure. Both of his INT’s were very bad though

Every time I read something like this, or see the total dysfunction on the field, I’m reminded of the quote about McDoom telling CCS that “we don’t know how to practice”. At first, I didn’t mind BJM being DC, because I assumed Charlie would basically be the DC anyway. At this point, I’m convinced that Charlie doesn’t do much on a day to day outside of be a life tutor.

Yeah, there’s just a total lack of organization and discipline with this regime. Its very apparent that Charlie isn’t the guy for the job. Let’s just hope we can cut the head off the snake and move on sooner than later

We had DE’s and LB’s with their hands in the air, confused about how to line up....coming out of a timeout. That should tell you all you need to know

Another thing I noticed, especially in the SMU post game presser - Charlie tends to stare downward when answer questions. Very rarely do you see him looking directly at the camera/media member he’s answering. He will stare down while answering, and then immediately look back up when finished. It might be nothing, but I found it a bit odd

We aren’t beating BYU, I can tell you that much for sure.

Does it though? I’m not sold on the idea that we can’t make it happen financially. That sounds like a cop out to me. Would it be ideal? Of course not. It could hinder how much we can commit to paying the replacement. But I don’t believe we can’t simply make the move because the account would be negative. Listen, it’s not like we have a guy in place that just can’t seem to get us over the hump, and we think we can do better. This is a full blown dumpster fire. We went from being a play away from NY6 bowl contention, to being 11 months removed from beating an FBS team, in 2 years. This is Tommy Tubberville (cincy), Randy Shannon (Miami) , Skip Holtz (2.0) all over again. And the worst part? This is CCS attempt at being in win now mode. All of the transfers that we brought in to hopefully plug holes and win now? Those were short term solutions. Those are schollies that aren’t being used on Freshman that could help in the future. This IS Charlie’s attempt at winning now. And he’s still failing. This is not a situation of simply being “not good”. We are legitimately very bad. UConn level bad. There is an opportunity cost that comes with keeping a HC that’s responsible for this fall, that goes well beyond short term W/L. This type of dysfunction bleeds into recruiting, not just for this class, but for future classes. There is a level of accountability that alumni, students, and even high school coaches need to see in order to buy into the program. Who knows how deep this goes in terms of what the players are telling other players in the locker room, what local HS coaches are telling their Jr’s/Sr’s/family friends. Cut the head off the snake and start over. Give the new HC a chance at fixing this, no matter the cost.

No shot. Zero. Nada.

I don’t have a problem with your overall stance. Having a hesitation that he will be successful at a higher level of play is reasonable. Where I have an issue is your consistent belaboring of the point, without adding context to the equation. Take away the generalities, what about his scheme don’t you like? Do you dislike his quick game passing concepts? Do you feel his route concepts won’t work at this level? Why? Your stance is reasonable, but your reasoning why is lazy and annoying. If you’re going to dislike a member of the staff, at the very least provide some level of depth to your argument.

2014 was tougher for sure

If he could read a defense as well as he can read the future, he wouldn’t be in this position

They better not do that Kean/Oladukon switch every series crap. Give McCloud the keys and see what he has.

Make no mistake, I will never root for this team to lose. But to use a gambling term, I feel like we are drawing dead. I’m very confident that CCS is not the man for this job. He’s been given ample time and has not produced. I’m no longer hoping that he can get it done, but instead hoping that MK will end this era so we can turn the page. I just hope any wins this team can pull off in the meantime won’t cause MK to second guess what I assume he has already realized.

I’ll give CCS this, he’s been consistent. The same glaring issues have been consistent since game 1 against San Jose State. What was it? 14-0 or 17-0 in the first quarter? This team hasn’t had a stretch of good football since. Heck, we struggled against Elon. Different OC’s, different QB’s, WRs, RBs, LBs, etc. The one constant has been Chuckles. I want to root for this team, but I cringe at the fact of him winning a game against Cincy or UCF at the end of this year buying him an extra year.

100%. He gets through the reads and has tremendous poise. There’s a different energy with him back there.

I keep seeing in various places that the staff needs to hand over the keys to McCloud because he’s a better dual threat option. While I agree that McCloud is the best option available, I’m not sure that it’s simply because he’s a better dual threat option. In fact, I actually see this as the opposite. While not your prototypical, explosive dual threat QB, Blake has shown the ability to make plays with his legs outside of the pocket. The problem is, he has lacked the consistency to make plays with his arm. We’ve already covered his inability to read coverages and pocket presence. Meanwhile, McCloud has looked much more comfortable in the pocket (when given) and has shown the ability to progress through multiple reads. Again, small sample size, but he has also shown solid accuracy, ability to use touch, and shows more poise in general. I understand that we are working with a small sample size, but at the moment I would label BB as the “dual threat option”, with McCloud being the better pocket passer. This doesn’t mean McCloud doesn’t offer the ability to pick up yards with his legs, but he looks more comfortable in the pocket than BB ever has since he arrived on campus. If this staff chooses to go with BB as the starter, even in a split series type scenario, this will be yet another indictment of CCS personnel decisions.

I really don’t like the punt there on 4th. That’s going to come back to haunt us.

Blitz. The. House.

Blitz. The. House. It’s Ga Tech

That’s so terrible.
