Evaluating CJS Through His First 12 Games

His game management and decision making as a coach have improved. Everyone saw that Cade looked good in practices and scrimmages, it just didn't translate to the field. He has a QB he can ride with now who many on here knew was ultimately going to be our QB for the foreseeable future. If you don't think that CJS isn't putting in the effort then I don't know what you are seeing. He cares far more than his predecessor and that enthusiasm is infecting everyone around the progrum. 

But, now we have a QB carousel.  He should have ridden Fortin to the end of this season and maybe next.

I don't think caring more than Strong is an accomplishment. An accomplishment would be pulling off some upsets, winning some conference games,  going .500, or doing better than the oveido community college without their star qb.

You're awfully upset about this for some reason.  That hasn't been said by anyone and you don't have to ride out one QB to not have a carousel.  I think it's all ******** personally and everyone knows McClain is the man.  Instead of just bringing him along slowly like was done with Q we play the "no one has separated themselves so we are still evaluating game" .... at least I hope that is the game

What carousel are you referring to? We are going into game #2.5 with Timmy as the #1 QB.

It was a comment on a running thing - not directed at you.  I don't think there is a carousel.

There isn't a carousel?  We've used 3 QBs in 3 games and we're supposedly still evaluating them all.   The number 1 week 1 was benched for the number 3 who was later pulled so the number 1 could come back in.  In week 2, the same number 1 started, but now week 1's #3 was #2 and the #2 was #3.  Again number 1 was pulled so number 2 could come in and later number 3 ended up playing as well.    In week 3, the number 2 who was number 3 became #1 while the week 1 number 2 who was moved to number 3 was back at 2 and came into the game late 3rd so the coach could evaluate him.  The original number 1 was apparently number 3 and never saw the field.  Now as we enter week 4 the original number 3 is starting again but the coach says he still is not the clear number 1 and we are going to see multiple quarterbacks (maybe all three?) so we can evaluate.     And there is still a transfer form UM hanging out somewhere for what that is worth

Perfectly clear, no carousel at all .....

Last season I was very frustrated with some of CJS’ game management, namely the Temple and Memphis game. But there’s so much more to it and yes season 0 was absolutely a thing.

I cannot deny that CJS has changed the culture and honestly the team just… looks better. Better traditions (unity walk), better social media, better poise.

Thus far I give him a C+. Winning needs to happen for that to be anywhere near an A.

But if we keep running a read option up the middle on 2nd and 10 I’ll give whatever coach it is an F-

This is a bit misleading.

It was never confirmed that McClain was ever #3 instead of the back up coming in to the season. All we knew officially was that Cade was the starter. It's totally normal for a back up to come in if the starter sucks, which is what happened. In the case of giving Marsh some reps against FAMU towards the end, who cares, give the kid some reps.

Now that it's confirmed that Cade sucks we for sure have a solidified #1 in TM barring injury - who, again, was most likely the back-up going into the season and now the starter.
