Gave my tix to family and we’re getting text updates throughout the game of mutt antics as my entire area turned red. I wasn’t surprised. There was rampant disgust starting with the UNC game. There’s varying degrees of acceptance, an in some cases no acceptance at all, of the path forward here but I believe most of us on here are business people running or contributing at a significant level at companies where performance is measured. I obviously have my own experiences but in the decade and a half in private industry you just don’t get to destroy an operation in order to improve it. You’re expected to take the pieces you have, produce with that and simultaneously improve the worst areas first to achieve success.
Wow, we’ve had some real historical moments on the Flats this year- most TD catches by a Fr, most punts in a game, lost to 1-AA team, first shutout at home since Eisenhower, now the biggest loss ever to the mutt.
We could run the ball last year & that is undeniable. Our passing sucked, equally undeniable. We just needed a scheme to allow the pieces we had to run the ball effectively while learning to pass, not destroy our running game with no passing game to replace it.
On defense we’re have been poor for a decade, maybe you can debate that but I think it’s undeniable. If we just kept the same level of suck D with some improvement in tackling and some aggressiveness you’d thought we’d have gotten better.
Special Teams, well I just don’t know what to say. We’ve had lapses in the past but damn near every segment has deteriorated.
This is not a good scorecard and CGC had better get a strategy going to right the ship before he capsizes.
