[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 362653, member: 1792"] Just venting, so please feel free to ignore. And BTW, I'm a fan of CPJ, I appreciate his offense when executed well, and I believe it's a far better for Tech than others, given Tech's recruiting limitations. That said, the loss this past weekend was about the most painful one I've witnessed since that monstrosity of a loss in 2012 against MTSU. Ugh. Frankly, I expected better from the o-line this season (and yes, I realize preseason attrition and injuries during the season are factors), and also expected better from the secondary in general. When it's 4th-and-forever, [I]and[/I] a long pass completion or Hail Mary is needed, [I]and[/I] your QB has been running for his life all game and getting caught way too often -- I just do not understand why, in that specific scenario, that having the QB in the pistol or shotgun isn't done. (I believe that [I]once[/I] this year CPJ brought in one of the co-3rd string QBs in just a situation to sling the ball out of the shotgun, right before halftime, but that's it. Once.) So, after Tech had that nice TD drive to go ahead with three minutes left on Saturday, anyone get that same feeling as against NC in 2014 after Smelter had that beautiful WR reverse TD run-- "Oh no, too much time is left on the clock" -- like I did? It really wouldn't bother me if CPJ perused the CFL coaching staffs for guys with some coaching roots in America football, yet accustomed to dealing against the wide-open offenses of Canada, and brought someone in -- no, not to replace Roof, but in some "assistant coordinator" capacity. (When Jeff Tedford came back to the college ranks to take over a genuinely pathetic Fresno State team this year, he brought in as DC a guy he went up against in the CFL. Sure, Fresno State's situation is unlike Tech is so many ways, but at least Tedford has turned things around in his first season, and his imported DC appears to be doing a good job.)

If you just lost two minutes of your life which you'll never get back, blah blah blah, apologies. You may now return to your regularly scheduled anarchy. [/QUOTE]
