[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 849367, member: 2426"] Blame the frustration on old fans who just don't like the "Money Down" if you want to, but how many of those losses would have been wins if the coaches didn't make silly mistakes that no other coaches I have ever seen make? If the defense had not been looking at the sidelines for the coverage call until after the ball was snapped, I have zero doubt that we would have won the NIU game. There were mistakes by players in the game. However, it is not conscionable that fundamental mistakes with substitutions and getting a play call in happen several times with a P5 coaching staff. We still had those same systematic issues in the 11th game of the season at ND. Someone can tell me that the team progressed during the season, but I saw coaching mistakes that should never happen happen. Then I saw the same coaching mistakes that should never happen not get corrected all season. Is it "progress" to make the same inexcusable systematic mistakes fewer times later in the season? I am not saying that there are not any positions that need bigger and more athletic players. I am not saying that the players never made mistakes. I am saying that I have a hard time understanding how the staff will turn the team around if they can't even do simplistic coaching functions such as decide which play to run before the play clock expires. I don't know that there is anything that TStan could have said in an email that would make fans feel better. The short statement that [USER=1199]@orientalnc[/USER] posted would have probably been better than a longer statement that attempted to explain away the bad season, but I don't know that would have been accepted much better. Many fans are extremely frustrated with the coaching. The marketing speech and "Money Down" probably cause some people to feel even worse, but don't discount the actual coaching and game management issues that have been apparent for three years. (Those issues were probably most apparent in the NIU game this year than in any other game of the last three years.) [/QUOTE]
