I agree with you about his comments during that PC. I like HCSS, so I was able to let it go. I didn't realize that the comment you mention came after the Louisville game. If it did I just didn't think about it I guess. The Louisville game was the game T-Hunt broke his leg, and then HCSS made the switch at OC. HCSS said during camp a year ago that he liked the back-up QBs, but that he hoped he wouldn't see them play during the 2014 season. When T-Hunt went down I think he knew what the team was up against, and he flipped his lid in the PC. Then he switched OCs for a lot of reasons, but one reason had to be that Lester was a former QB and he would be able to work with the really young and inexperienced QBs.
That's the way I see it, but I can understand why someone would see it differently. If I was leaning in a direction against a coach and he flipped his lid like that I might turn against him too. I just like the guy, and I hope he works out. I think he can do it!
You just don't coaches saying it was a good loss,every loss is a bad one.

No I don't, and it's obvious.
He made one huge mistake and it's cost this program. And I was right about how awful that guy was,
Doesn't mean I hate the guy, I've been a fan since he joined the program.
If you can't discern a legit critique from hate, that's on you.
Not that I would expect someone with your obvious ability to reason to do so.

Beat a team I wasn't expecting and I will be more optimistic. Who didn't have the team beating URI and Wake Forest? You want me to change my tune when nothing has been done to show it should change. I had the team beating URI, WF, CMU, USF, and BC.

Defensive ends play in the secondary?
No actually its not I enjoy the sport. I don't pretend things are better than they actually are. If I thought this staff was the real deal I would say so.
well, to be a little fair, he did drop back

No. There's long term success (is Shafer the guy?) and there's week to week fandom (hoping for the best, enjoying 2-0, seeing young talent coached well, etc). I'm not surprised - you gave up on the staff before the season. It's hard to see anything positive through that lens. AND that's what I think would be exhausting. To each his own.
I enjoy the game. I wish for the day our game actually gets discussed on College Gameday. I want to win and will support the staff and team, but that doesn't mean I can't say what I feel about the staff.
I went to that away game. I chose it because I knew they would win and I was sicking to traveling far only to watch them lose. That was bad.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You're not "supporting" the staff. People can be critical of the staff and support them. I'm not sure you understand that distinction as well as you think you do.
Here's an example for you:
I think the staff should let Dungey sling it a bit more. They might be hurting him by not being more aggressive. But I think that we won this game vs Wake with a true freshman bodes well for our future. The staff did a nice job.
Not "I wanted someone else as HC" and the coach lost me for something he said once or "yeah that was a game we should gave won, no optimism"...
Unless I am the AD and I am not my opinion doesn't matter. That doesn't mean I want the team to lose. I root for the laundry more than I root for the coaching staff. SS wouldn't be the HC if I had my druthers. I don't have my way so I want the team to win and be 100% wrong. You speak like because I am not a fan of SS as HC means I have to root against SU. I will not root against SU and will just deal with the reality that SS is getting atleast this year to show that I am wrong.
If we go 8-4 or 9-3 which is what I want you think I will be upset if its SS as coach? The answer is no but don't expect my opinion to change until I see it on the field.
Look I don't know but we were competitive with them last year with our 4th string QB. I doubt they are better this year.
O
On that play the answer is yes.
It's not this staff's fault that we aren't discussed on game day. Here is your question, do you think that recruiting is heading in the right direction under this staff? Do you think the defense is heading in the right direction under this staff? Do you think that the offense is heading in the right direction under this staff? My answer is yes to the first two and we will see on the 3rd. no coach or scheme can make up for the lack of talent we had last year. 3 qb's go down. Our speed guys out. It's easy to look creative when you have the players.

First losses is not necessarily the criteria fo
P lost to some very good teams. You're right.
But I said momentum-killing losses. I didn't say first losses.
