As much as I've been ranting and raving that I'm frustrated with the coaching, I don't want Doug fired.  I think if that happens, we lose any inroads we've made in recruiting, and I think we've made many.  I don't think this is a lost cause. 
 
1.  I don't know what has to be done on a daily basis in practice to stop the gameday penalty and turnover mistakes, but that needs to be figured out.
 
2.  Broyld needs to be in the game in a slash role that has him catching and throwing the ball in addition to handing it off to him.  I would like to see 15 touches, none from the wildcat (I refuse to call it the stallion).
 
3.  AAM needs to be used more.  Smith pretty much only runs straight ahead, why not let AAM run some people over out of the spread when it's a bunch of little DB's in the game.
 
4.  Hire a special teams guy that has a proven history of good special teams.
 
There's no gaurantee we'll get a good coach if we get rid of Doug and the whole staff.  If we get anyone with any kind of a name, I'm afraid they'll just use us as a stepping stone.  Addazio could be an option, but do we know if he's an upgrade?  He was an assistant on a National Championship Florida team, but many Florida fans blamed him for the offensive woes Florida had before Meyer left.  He became the offensive coordinator when Dan Mullen left, and Mullen received much of the credit for Florda's offense during their NC's.
 
I think we have more talent in the pipeline and if the coaching staff can clean up the stupid mistakes we'll be a solid team that we can be proud of.  I'm afraid if we fire Doug now, we're throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
