8-1, 39.1 ppg, 2031 passing yards, 2 players on pace for 1000 yards rushing.  Seems pretty successful.

With the 100th ranked SoS and a defense that gets us tons of extra possessions.  

We were 65 SoS last year and put up similar numbers with a defense that leaked like a sieve.   

I'm definitely happy that we still control our own destiny but we should be beating people to sleep but aren't due to the lack of efficiency.   As good as this team is it could be better.....

If only he'd taken the time to master last year's offense.  Change it up when you lose your perfect fit for the GCO senior QB. What a fool.

Dude, the defense shouldn't have been even close to being in that position. Our coaching staff chose t run the ball 55 times directly at the best interior lineman in the country. They chose to run the

I don't think would have to "learn the GCO" but he did say he didn't even watch the previous season's film in an interview.  That's a ton of Hubris.  At the very least he should've watched the film to see what his personnel was good at and maybe added a play here or there to maximize the talent on the roster.   Instead it seems he just tried to rigidly install his offense without regard to what made guys successful last season or what maximized their skill set.  

Would have been nice if he did that, but he obviously wasn't interested in CWT's playbook. He was going to do what he's always done. If we win out, the criticism obviously goes away (I think).

It definitely should because A, what he did worked and B Flowers will be gone next season and the guys left on the roster have different skill sets.

I would have definitely liked to see the GCO back, or at least remnants of it, but as others have pointed out, it might not have looked the same without Adams and Mack. Charlie never sounded too interested in keeping that around though. Didn't he say in an interview in his first few weeks here that the 2016 offense scored too fast, not giving the defense a rest....or something like that? Sounds kinda weird that scoring too fast would be a problem for a coach, but I guess it was for CCS. I get what you're saying, but we will win or lose with Gilbert's playbook. It is what it is.

The improvement of our defense may support this (and the fact that Woody's no longer the DC)

We had pass plays on 41% of our 1st down plays.

That seems way high...felt like 10%

Both these points may be correct, especially about Woodie. Wouldn't mind retaining Jean-Marie if CCS decides to bolt. As far as Weist, this would have been the year to have him here. Next year, without QF, the GCO would look a whole lot different. 

I think it's a little too soon to call Gilbert a failure, idiot, fool, etc.... we'll have a much better idea in the next couple of weeks. That UCF game is as big as it gets for us. Gilbert has a chance to shut a lot of people up on Black Friday.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
