My head is gonna explode

[Dcuse]

Can an offense be this incompetent? Is it even POSSIBLE?

 

[Orange Rust Belt]

This team has regressed significantly. I would fire shafer after the BC game and spend the cash to bring in Muschamp. We have some young players with potential but we need a real coaching staff and a power conference D1 QB. Gross obviously won't do it though because that will make him 1 for 3 in coaching hires and possibly cost him his job. He'll ride out this disaster until he has no other option but admit defeat.

 

[OburgOrange]

Good thing we had a bye week!

 

[anomander]

Regression is an understatement. We are in all out reverse.

Is Frank Maloney available? Coaching is the issue. HCSS is in way over his head.

 

[upperdeck]

our stats would like much better in canada.. we would never get into the redzone to fail.

 

[Jeepers]

I miss Marrone.

I particularly appreciated the 2 straight options to the short side. Took me back 10 years.

And ironically we can't defend a bubble screen. Something I will never understand.

At least we knew why McDonald was so dead set on jamming them down our throats. I imagine they looked spectacular in practice.

We can't afford Muschamp!..Are you serious? Syracuse has no money . The big name coaches that we are crying for are out of our price range. Given that fact, the best we can continue to do is hire "up and coming coaches" that will work for cheap. I am sorry to be so blunt, but that is our reality. It is not a bad position to be in if you make the right hire and the guy taken can coach and can put together a dynamic staff.

Bubble screens can be effective if executed properly. Note: the pass to the wideout was not contended first, secondly, the receiver did not have to beat an unblocked defender behind the line of scrimmage and thirdly, there was down field blocking and a seam for the receiver to run through. Big difference compared to how we run our bubbles.

excited for next year...:bang:

Next year will be awful. Shafer's a lame-duck at this point, unless he pulls off a miracle.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

[Oakland]

LOL...sadly.

I am absolutely serious. Florida was paying him around 2.75 million a year, which is about what Washington State is paying Mike Leach. Virginia is paying Mike London 2.3 million a year. Offer Muschamp around 2.2-2.3 with a decent contract length and see what he thinks. It's a complete long shot, but you miss every shot you don't take. Our unwillingness to pay for quality coaching is one of the biggest reasons we have suffered through 10+ years of subpar football.

2.75 million………We don't have that kind of money. Our entire football staff together probably gets 2.75 million.

As has been pointed out by others on this board in the recent past, we were willing to pay Randy Edsall or Skip Holtz $2m in 2008 when we hired Marrone. That was 6 years ago with Big East tv contract money. This whole notion that we can't afford $3m is just wrong and yet you keep repeating it. I guess if you were in charge we'd be paying a lot more for this staff than what we are now.

I said offer 2.2-2.3. Not 2.75 And I also wasn't aware you were the accountant for the University's athletics programs. Please share with us the max the university can offer to a new HC.

We don't need defensive coaches we need coaches on O thought people would understand this after the 88th same type of thread
