Its a great idea but we would have to call a time out so he could get in someone’s face mask for the missed blocking assignment. A great gesture in theory but I’m not sure bad option football would be a great honor. :D Added bonus might be that an a** chewin from PJ might be a great...

Oh, now you gone and done it!

I think I agree here…. except for the Collins guy part. I really hope it’s just a case of not getting it done on the field (practice or otherwise). It’s hard to think someone isn’t living up to their potential because they aren’t happy, but it happens all the time. It’s hard to give best effort...

Are you on #5 at 7:15 on a Tuesday? Respect!

If I may put a tiny asterisk on this… Your sample timeframe is possibly the most successful run in their history. In the four seasons prior to your sample, they won 12 games total, had no bowls and no winning seasons… but some very big things happened for them during that time… Greg Schiano...

Maybe that’s the strategy… give them a big early cushion and hope they get comfortable that their season is back on track…. Then

You replied to an argument I didn’t make. The rest of that quote was that I hoped the bye would be good for our awful defense while not impacting the offense that was playing pretty well. Didn’t work out that way, as the D showed little improvement and the O was out of sync Maybe we were...

From a 100% outsiders perspective, Dabo’s entire claim to fame seemed to be “surround yourself with people smarter than you are.” If he has graduated to micromanagement now that he has had some success, he’s getting what he deserves.

The portal thing is a head scratcher for me. I’m sure he’s losing kids through the portal… kinda strange that he is adamant not to use it to recoup. I guess he markets to his recruits that they won’t get supplanted by portal players? If you can recruit well enough, that probably works. His...

I get the feeling that a few of the goofy mix ups we saw were the result of trying to make some changes during the bye week. Not an excuse, but the bye week is when you’d think we would tweak personnel / packages so we have some extra days to sort it out. Bye weeks are always welcome when...

This team certainly doesn’t seem fond of streaks. I can’t imagine this win / loss trend can hold all season though…

Dabo is kind of a goof and “lighten up the bandwagon” is a very odd thing to say but I think it just reiterates again how hard it is to keep the focus and intensity of 18-23 year olds. I’m sure he is referring to the attitude many of them have that “they’ve arrived” once they strap up that...

I completely agree. The post I was replying to was touting the CDS hire as getting a guy who was “proven successful” as if Key was not. The two seem to be on the same trajectory, albeit Key is about 4-5 years behind… that’s where the patience comes in.

Credit? No. Blame? If it comes to that, absolutely.

I think it’s funny you choose CDS as your analogy. My one and only question about CDS when we hired him was “yeah, but can he actually coach?” Key is pretty much CDS circa year 2 at Pacific. Student of the game, player, asst coach, great resume, highly respected and zero prior head coaching...

You got bad information on a football message board?!? I’M SHOCKED!! Message board etiquette actually requires you to bookmark this and come back five years from now and proclaim, “I told you so!“ :D I, for one, say don’t sweat it.

Sort of. I rewatched that whole scenario too. It’s discussed in the Haynes King thread. It was a really odd series of events but ultimately BC (and the officials) stole a TO from us.

Just upping my post count replying to myself…. So there is a bunch of weird clock stuff in the ESPN play by play on that series. We ran five plays with 10:24 on the clock apparently…. The time out was actually taken after Copley’s 3rd down run. On the play…. It was 3rd and 1, we ran Cooley...

I can’t be certain from camera angles but I think BC got on the ball with no substitutions so the official would not be obligated to hold the play

What’s even more strange is that looking through the play by play, I can’t find where we burnt a time out in that scenario on first down…. There’s a good chance that we still don’t know what happened officially! :D
