McCord Made Nixon

[OrangeinBoston]

No imagination in the run game. Can't tailor the pass game to the QBs weaknesses/skills.

 

[PhatOrange]

People are starting to come around on Nixon. He’s done nothing to help the quarterbacks, or help the offense be functional. Come hell or high water he’s going to run what he runs and be dammed if the players can run it or not.

I don’t think it matters. The quarterbacks we have are very bad. His offense runs great with the right guys. They will get the right ones back in the Field next year.

I mean who’s offense doesn’t run great with the right guys

Whose offense runs well with the wrong guys?

 

[gmoney44]

There isn’t a coach on Earth that can make our offense look mediocre with zero competent QB’s left and a trash offensive line.

Almost all offenses will take a big hit when the starting QB goes down. The real problem is our Oline sucks year after year since Doug M left.

 

[XC Cuse]

Angeli as well?

We need to face the facts. We lost alot
Last year and this was a bigger rebuild
Then we thought. We know the offense works very well with the right players and we have two of the best recruiters on staff. It’s painful right now. I live for Syracuse football but what I saw last year and the answer Fran gave last night about building something that lasts is enough for me to
Give these guys a pass

 

[zjscuse]

Disagree, the passes have been there. These kids just can’t make them. Frans a young head coach and gets a pass on some major roster management lessons.

Finally a rational take

Maybe we shouldn't be all that quick to offer portal OLs? They are probably in the portal because they won't see the field at their former school.

Nixons looking like a one trick pony. With right qb for his system it works .. without right qb it doesn’t and he’s shown no ability to adjust and tailor offense to qbs available. He’s not tried anything else.

We totally overrated our portal OL. Overrating the OL is a yearly tradition.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

When Nixon has had his QB1 our program led the nation in passing.

Like many coaches, he's stubborn as a mule.

I'm not going to just ignore that they were good last year because nixon threw all the time

Yes it's a problem when you have the worst QBs ever. but no offense is going to be successful with the QBs they're playing.

i care more about having good years than having coaches who can make a terrible year less terrible

 

[Archimedes]

There are also some small and early signs we had a generational NFL talent playing tight end.

Not to pour fuel on the fire. I like Jeff a lot and hope he stays. Last year was really special though.
