[QUOTE="1939hotmagic, post: 183928, member: 1792"] I don't see CPJ's job on the line unless 201[B]6[/B] is a below-.500 season, and at this point I'm expecting a 2-10 or 3-9 record for this season; last season bought plenty of good will, all of which will be consumed by this season. [I]Standard-issue bewildered- fan venting (therapy) to follow, stream of unconsciousness, feel free to ignore . . . [/I] The unusual number of injuries to skill-position players for a team with little depth to begin with is a legit mitigating factor for this dumpster fire season, but that's about it. The [B]experienced [/B]o-line's decline is a mystifying disappointment to this mere fan. Special teams coordinator Ray Rychleski is no newcomer to football, and it's not like he's been the one making horrid snaps to the punter, shanking punts, or screwing up kick return coverage, but -- he'll probably be let go unless all those squads play perfectly the final six games. (Yeah, insert laughter here.) While the defense has had some good moments this season, nonetheless for a rather experienced bunch they too have been increasingly disappointing, and -- just like the first half of last season -- I wonder why Roof isn't being more aggressive. As an outsider looking in, I also can't help but wonder and fear if there's a defeatist "self-fulfilling prophecy" mentality setting in among a majority of the players, compounded by a lack of real vocal leaders to snap them out of the funk. Finally, I don't believe CPJ has faced a season like this, several years deep into a tenure [I]and [/I]immediately after a successful season, whether as OC at Georgia Southern or Hawaii, or as HC at Georgia Southern or Navy. He hasn't suddenly forgotten how to coach after all those years, most of them successful. Gotta be uncharted waters for him, and the navigation better improve soon. Well: Today's game is essentially over at halftime. There are six and half "scrimmages" left in the season. Here's hoping the coaches, and the players who wish to play and to improve, make the most of them. If the team goes 2-10 or 3-9 [I]but improves, particularly all those true and RS frosh getting thrown in the fire -- [/I]ok, I'll still look to next season with some hope. If CPJ wants to use the remainder of the season primarily for player development (and secondarily for some offensive and defensive experimentation) instead of pulling out all the stops for sake of getting up to 5-7 or 6-6, fine by me. Meanwhile, Navy only trails Notre Dame 21-24 at halftime. ~sigh~ Venting therapy complete. [/QUOTE]
