Please Get Rid of Strong

We are too small on defense and it showed all year. Last night it finally cost us

This times 100. Our D-line gets no push and pressure without a blitz which leaves good qbs with time to find an open receiver or improvise.

Our LBs always seem to be in the wrong position and a step behind the play.

I blame this on strength and conditioning plus lack of depth and an overall scheme that isn’t working. 

Our DBs could be Neon Deion and Richard Sherman and it wouldn’t matter because of the front 7.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what you said or I replied to. 

It most certanly does. So you're saying that Applewhite was some how able to recruit better players, coach them up better and create more depth then CCS in the same time period. I say that because Houston had injuries just as we did but, made way less mistakes and had far fewer penalties. How else would you put it? Are the Houston players smarter then ours or are the buying in and performing as the Coaches instruct them. Ours are having some serious issues exicuting.

The thing that frustrated me with Strong and the staff is their unwillingness to change their scheme when it's not working. On offense its about 4 plays and they don't even try to mix it up. Our offense is predictable 90% of the time which will not win you games against teams that can match up talent wise. It's enough to beat uconn, ecu, etc but it won't be enough to beat houston, ucf, or any team with a offense that can score. Defensively we always play nearly 10 yards off the receiver and never try to jam them up at the line nor do we ever try anything designed to put pressure on their qb. Most of the time the opposing qb has nearly all night to throw and that finally caught up with us last night. The entire staff is making the same mistakes taggert's staff did the first 2.5 years he was here.

It’s eerily similar, right? The same bullheadedness from the coaches, the worse than watching paint dry offense, the frustration starting to show with the players.

Someone should show CCS and staff the tape from xCWT so we can just skip to the part where Barnett goes to Strong and tells him to let the guys cook!

Applewhite is definitely a better coach. You could tell from all the freshman playing in their lines, WRs, and QB.

That was what I wanted you to write.

This team has looked terrible and sloppy since CCS took over. Penalties, bad execution, slow starts, etc. Every. Single. GAME!! Sick of the vanilla offense. Sick of the mental mistakes. We are poorly coached and nothing has looked good for us in the CCS era!

Dumbest team thread ever. WE are young and very thing on defense especially at LB. WE need to go all in on LB recruiting.

 All those championships hanging on the stadium wall. Reading this thread is embarrassing. This does not have a championship culture or talent. You can blame the staff all you want, but he has to groom his recruits. The worst defense in the country 2 years ago does not automatically change over night

 We need talent in a lot of positions!

Just because...Houston starts a total of 2 players recruited since Applewhite became head coach. And 0 freshman.
