Charlie's Successor... Already on our Sidelines

[Bullman1717]

Puc your a clueless spectator my friend name me these talented players that you see

[Gismo]

I think our problem is QB talent and O-Line coaching.
 

I see a lot of open receivers, but the Oline sucks at pass and run blocking. Gilbert managed lots of rushing yards, now Bell manages nearly zero. I think the run blocking is coaching. But Gilbert also didn’t pass as much and now after a season with Bell I wonder if maybe Gilbert had a rushing biased offense for a reason... our QBs aren’t great passers. 
 

All great teams have great QBs. We don’t have one yet. I think McCloud could be the guy, he’s still young and I think it’s premature to say he can’t improve. 
 

There are a lot of factors and I’ll give Bell the benefit of the doubt for his first season.

I’ll agree that if he is here he almost has to do better next season but as you pointed out Gilbert was more productive last season and we had as much returning from a production standpoint as anyone in the country. How much more productive was the Gilbert everyone wanted fired over the Bell now getting a pass? From a rankings standpoint KB is ranked 50 percent worse than Gilbert last season. Many will blame the line but who is the only coach KB brought with him? This seasons offense is record setting bad for us, KB has almost the same offensive weapons Gilbert had, KB’s offense is ranked 50 percent worse than Gilbert’s, people thought Gilbert sucked, people think KB is..... awesome????? How?

So it’s Kerwins fault that he has an empty cupboard to work with...please tell me McCloud is a serviceable QB he’s a nice kid who wouldn’t start anywhere else in the conference... Cronkite is a nice young man as well but his playing days are about up he left Florida for a reason...the WRs on this team well we don’t have to speak about them... Wilcox is good the OL below average ...so Kerwin make chicken salad out of chicken sh&t...who has Charlie brought in not naming transfers that are producing and remember this is year 3...I’ll wait

CCS has brought in nothing.

What puzzled me is that he went away from the quick passing routes...not running the two te set didn't help either...especially with that Temple front 7...

SBNatios loves themselves some SBNation. I stopped reading this stuff a while ago. In fact people on this very board used to laugh when others sighted SBNation as their source of content or articles. Anyway.

 

We have had a history of the drops at USF. That has gone to record levels in the Strong era and you can check stats for that too I'm sure. The funny thing is that this offense didn't pass as much and still had a huge amount of dropped passes or errant throws. This leads me to believe that either the players aren't any good or their coaches aren't any good. I could choose to blame KB for this but as he's only been here 1 year and this is CCS' 3rd year, I'll stick with blaming CCS and his inability to correct existing issues in both recruiting and player development..

you can laugh all you want at sb nation but the figures they use in their analysis are facts. we ranked #11 in returning offensive production in the country. easily verifiable. 9 returning starters on offense. again not some made up number.

care to link an article claiming our drops have increased this year?

all those sophomore linemen we have this year that are terrible according to some were freshman last year that got plenty of playing time.

trust me strong is terrible and everyone blamed gilbert last year. kerwin has done nothing to earn a pass this year though and people are blind to think he has earned even a shot at interim.

Because why go with what’s actually successful for your team when you have to prove that you can make your system work just like Skippy and Willie did with the offensive philosophies they brought in.

With Mathis being out I can see why the two te set wasn't ran...not continuning to run quick passing routes though was beyond me...we have some olineman that I am surprised have scholarships...

If you think this team is bottom 10 in FBS talent you haven’t been watching a whole lot of games including against some of the teams we have played. If you try to get a fish to climb a tree he will think he is the worst but put him in water and he swims like well a fish. KBs job is to put our team as it is comprised in the best position to win every week, so far he has been nothing short of horrible at that.

I watch a **** ton of games in the AAC. About four a week. We are in the bottom third of the conference in terms of talent. Especially at key positions.

We started using quicker passes, utilizing to TE’s, quicker routes to the receivers and better utilizing the run and I was happy and thought hey you know what it took a while but KB maybe finally getting it. Then he said “**** that noise let’s revert back to my systematic approach to destroying anything that looks like an offense and get back to that good old fashioned losing because I hate puc86 and we can’t have him trying to be positive for a week.”
