Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 3607235, member: 5685"] Our O isn't FCS level. This season is one big practice so Ws and Ls don't really matter. On D we are getting good reps and it will pay off going forward. The issue is that on O we aren't getting many reps and when we do get reps they are awful reps due to the dysfunction. There is no way for the kids to actually get better. It is sad that in year 6 we have to hope for a competitive 3-9 season as our ceiling. Given what we are working with on O it will be hard to achieve any more than that. The O talent is a joke even with everyone healthy. We really need to bring in a transfer dual threat QB, solid guy on the OL, and a playmaking WR. We also need to tell Taj to move on. We have given him chance after chance. His antics shouldn't be acceptable and I am sure cause division on the team. Be a football coach and set an example Dino. The O coaching is a joke. All five years the team looks disorganized, confused, and undisciplined. That is on the coaching. If our players looked well coached and put up 250 yards in a game, we could all live with it. But when they can't get 150 yards against bad football teams and look totally unprepared even with 2 weeks time, it is totally unacceptable. The O system and play calling are not putting the players in the best position to be successful. I am critical of TD but the coaches do him no favors calling the plays they do. Our play calling actually seems to expose our weaknesses instead of trying to hide them. The game plan last night was inexcusable. Playing a team that going in had a worse run D than us in conference play and we with a true frosh QB on the road refuse to pound the football over and over again. It is just utter stupidity. We rarely seem to have a plan on O and look like we are winging it half the time. That shouldn't be. The team looks to never be prepped. That shouldn't be. We are so far from functional on O that it would be impossible to think we can get to 6 Ws next year with this coaching staff. I am all for allowing Dino next year to right the ship but I have very little faith he can do the job given the last 22 games. If we see a well coached team with a functional O that is competitive in most game and gets 5 wins, he should stay. But if we are dysfunctional and ill prepared and get 5 Ws, he should be let go. You would expect that after 6 seasons a HC at SU would have at least a .500 record. Dino would need to go 13-2 going forward to get there. Think about that folks. Also has a HC every brought his team from mediocre to being one of the worst teams in the FBS and recovered? As far as I can tell it has never happened. Coaches have started at the bottom and brought their team up, but I haven't found an example of a HC taking their team to the bottom and then recovering. [/QUOTE]
