Message: [QUOTE="Pharm73, post: 4389718, member: 4938"] I am here to answer any respectful questions... If the good fans here can keep it with that, I could go back and forth If you just want to trash the program in reply to me, I will not answer further If I do not respond, it is for that reason, I will be gone for a good while. so it is up to you, here... that said, I am a long time RU football and bb fan, going back to the 70"s the current state of the RU football program mirrors a lot of the problems we have had in the past... the defense, except against a team like OSU, is good enough to win games, but the offense is a mess part of the offense problem was having to go with the 3rd string qb, and he was not ready...couple that with a weak passing blocking line, and questionable play calling... I think even with an average qb, that qb would struggle with the pass blocking. ...RU has, and has always had decent running backs I see a lot of talk about how RU got "blown out" by Iowa... some may not realize that Iowa only had one offense touchdown...and that touchdown was a result of a very bad pass interference call in the end zone, on an uncatchable throw on a 3rd down... it should have resulted in a field goal attempt not to make an excuse, but just to show that our defense is and was good enough to win the middle of the road, or lower level big 10 games. I supported the rehire of Greg S, but he never was a good offensive coach... he either stifles the OC, or has made bad OC hires in the past...I am not in position to say which The majority seemed to want an OC change now, and to hire someone who can be creative and possibly solve some of the problems.. that would require Greg to be hands off, and to be honest, I don't think he can be I don't expect our interim OC to be a miracle worker I always remain optimistic... I know you like to portray RU fans as crazed or deluded...I am neither... like any Syracuse fan, you go to the games, watch on tv and hope for the best, with no overly optimistic expectations... we are 3-3 right now, and, with the schedule left, could win one or possibly two, if all of a sudden, then find something on offense...
