Pitt Gameday...

[DomeStranger]

I've seen this movie before, backup Pitt QB comes in a torches us, 3,2,1 action!

 

[Bayside44]

Season was shot when Angeli went down. Not a sin it happens. Don’t coach like he’s here. Shorten these games and get a chance late. The exact opposite of how they are coaching.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

did Brown honestly think that *this* offense was going to go downfield in :30 for a FG to tie the game? One the dumbest timeouts I can remember.

It’s like he hasn’t seen Collins for the past 4 games - yes 4 - Collins was pulled out of the Colgate game

 

[phil77]

If we don't see a back up qb this half I'm out Fran. We can't complete a pass beyond 10 yards, in what world is this acceptable??

I really couldn't believe a sane coach would actually start Rickie this game. Watching the tape makes Collins look worse. Should have taken the 2 weeks to get another QB ready. Massive mistake.

 

[Eric15]

Dump this fraud and go get Clark Lea. How we let him go is beyond me.

Clark Lea is on the verge of a playoff bid while playing in the SEC. That would be a major step down.

 

[Tango32]

I feel like LSU has some sort of responsibility to tell us what we are getting - like, um, the Ferrari doesn’t have an engine

More like - hey um its actually a Fiero kit car

 

[Irt4su]

Put in Chad Power

 

[23Zone]

If Collins starts 3rd quarter, local ERs will be inundated with atrial fibrillation

 

[Finwad32]

I just want to see Carney so we can see he's not good enough and stop talking about him or decide that he actually is good enough and gives us a chance to win.

I’ve been to practice… nothing screamed make a change. But players perform differently in games. At this point, I’d like to at least see.

 

[orangefog]

IF their QB can't throw due to injury, we have a shot at this game. But, not if Rickie is our QB.

 

[SUinNWE]

Fran coaches the same this year as he did last year except that he doesn’t have Kyle McCord - he has Rickie Collins. You simply can’t coach the same when the QB play is at a dramatically different level. Kyle was masterful in these end of half scenarios last year. Ricky has not shown any ability in that regard. I’m literally bewildered by the coaching the last few games, Kyle McCord isn’t suiting up and Fran needs to figure it out.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Penn St probably offering the bag after this game!

 

[Archbold44]

Rickie has been pretty typical... but I am FAR more disappointed with the coaching on offense. Are we able to run outside at all... ever? Fran is either taking points off the board... or foolishly giving them to the other team.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

If we don't see a back up qb this half I'm out Fran. We can't complete a pass beyond 10 yards, in what world is this acceptable??

Completed to which team?

 

[GoSU96]

Everyone that wanted a position coach who was never even a coordinator and never was really that good at coaching those positions shouldn't complain about him not knowing what he's doing. Why would he? This is what you guys wanted

I wanted a guy who knows what he's doing

Ok sport. This program biggest problem is talent, he addresses the biggest problem. The record this year was always going to be poor. And that’s not hindsight.

Give me a team with talent that has rough spots on the sideline. There was a coach here who could game plan and coach circles around other staffs.

You hated him

 

[Biaxtar]

Whoever is asking Fran to be fired is crazy.

I understand that many want Carney but I’m starting to realize he must be worse.

 

[BigNastyJon]

Fran tried to make something happen and we rutgersed ourselves…. Can’t fault him, but that’s just what we do…and to quote Dino, Fran didn’t know

I try to Rutgers myself 3 times a day. Otherwise I’m a danger to society

 

[Van1144]

Yea 10 wins last year and can't coach... We get it, you hate Fran. It's Rickie, he does nothing well. You wouldn't be saying it if Angeli was healthy.

Recruiting will suffer if we tank this year. Is Angeli with one leg probably a better choice at QB? Honestly how RC was ever rated a 4 star is beyond me. Throws late and short almost all the time.

 

[BKCuse]

I gotta think that Ricky Collins ends up like CDRW.

CDRW is starting at Marshall. Rickie could do a lot worse

 

[nocohalo]

Ticket revenue is going implode the rest of the season, and as a result significantly fewer dollars for the athletic department which will have cascading results for all the other sports.

All because the coaching staff thinks they're smarter than everyone.

 

[Bulldog04]

Season was shot when Angeli went down. Not a sin it happens. Don’t coach like he’s here. Shorten these games and get a chance late. The exact opposite of how they are coaching.

There was something about that weather delay in that game that didn’t feel right. Freak injury sure but just felt weird that it felt never ending with delay. Yes I know I’m insane

 

[orangezen]

Fran needs to tell Luke this is a Rudy (or Dungey ) moment

 

[SuFTW]

No you aren't beating Georgia Tech next week, so let Rickie be the one who plays that game.
Save Luke for North Carolina and a week working with the 1st team.

Just play him. It will never be a perfect time.

 

[rocfan44]

Vandy is the same tier job as Syracuse.

Not even close

 

[charleston]

Collin is great at finding the open DB
