I love the USMNT I just wish we had a better manager.
I am not arguing why we lost I am defending Gilbert in this case
Sorry. I didn't use my sarcasm font. I agree with you.
He is a different guy from the fun guy who was going viral his first three years and made us exciting. He has looked haggard and lost since 2019.
Ehhh...you are saying even if we tied or made the 4th and 1 we win and neither are certain. I can say that the interception Shrader threw took points. Also if he had thrown a catchable ball to Cooper on his short post route there was daylight all the way to the endzone, no one would have had him. The fake punt was also a killer and the flags were also killing us. My point is for every decision people want to say is Dinos fault, there are numerous other reasons on the field as to why we lost. I agree with those saying you go for it though. I said it about FSU and it applies here. You don't beat teams like Clemson kicking field goals. In addition our oline is hurting. I saw Servais and Davis both limping at games end. They were running on fumes at that point. Go for the dub in regulation. If you lose you at least lost going for the knockout and no I would not be yelling at Dino to be fired if he did that.
Good points. Psychologically, I wonder about the accumulative effect all the losing has had on Dino's in-game decision making and confidence as a HC. Even though this has never been an area of strength, his feel for the game and willingness to go for it has changed.
See post #29 about me forgetting to use my sarcasm font.
Love ya TrueBlue if this is true then the program is a midmajor masquerading in a P5.
Im just not sure I’d trust the school to bring in the right replacement at this point. I don’t even know who i’d want aside from Doug. Not sure how much longer Cuse can go with being consistently bad
Watching the replay now on ACCN, since I couldn't watch last night, but lots of flat footed throws. He really struggled throwing to the sidelines.
Being conservative has been a function of not having a QB, oline, and WRs he trusts. The oline seems to have been fixed. Shraders poor accuracy and poor WR play still make it harder to take chances the way he did with Dungey and WRs like AET, Ishael, Philips, and Custis. Of course recruiting those positions is ultimately his responsibility. TD never became the guy we hoped and a big mistake was made when he hired the wrong QB coach. Hopefully, that's fixed now and hopefully Shrader and/or Lamson can give us the QB play we need to get back to the aggressive mentality. WR is still a pretty big question mark.
Yeah some people are not understanding certain things. Blue is exactly right. Unless the contract actually stated the buyout spreads over x years, the fired coach doesn't have to have his agent negotiate jack because that's what the university wants. 2nd whether paid in lump or not, it will influence how much the AD can potentially use for a new coach and staff. So everyone thinking we will get Marrone or Moorehead better think again because they won't come if Syracuse is requesting the new HC takes coupons while paying the check on the prior coach. Lastly I am pretty damn sure 100% of the people on this board wanted Dino extended after 10-3 before he was stolen by USC or FSU. Well the AD listened and pony'd up. Now crap is happening. So if you want Dino gone now and if the buyout is around $10mm to $12mm , please take a picture of the $100k plus booster check your sending in like the other schools you refer to whose boosters pay the buyout so we can all see you putting your money where you're mouth is so to speak. I will give you a like in the chat I promise for your commitment to the cause.
He is a Strange Cat. On one side all Holy and Humble but at the core extremely stubborn and lacks any degree of responsibility.
If I had the money to do it I would. But just because I’m not rich doesn’t mean I can’t support a course of action that costs money. In addition if we are willing to spend millions on a coach for an extension then you have to be willing to pay to cut with a losing coach. Right now it feels like we want to get rid of him but we are playing skittish with money. Somethint is going to have to change cause what’s happening rn isn’t working.
