We held Rutgers to less than 3 yards per play. And lost

We need a new coach. Our D is nasty and we have some nice pieces. The right coach could salvage this.
 
It’s possible holding onto DB through the whole season we lose every good thing we have on the team. White, our TE’s, players on D and shrader - he can’t be happy after these two games. Now it’s so easy to hop in the portal. We might need to boot DB mid season to not lose every important asset the team still has.
 
I think you called it earlier. It was a replica of the Grob WVU game. today’s O might have been a bit better but not by much. BAD sign for the rest of the year.
they have 2 weeks to figure it out
 
I absolutely LOVE our D. I just wish the offense was functional. I think we have an excellent scheme with the right recruiters in place and we are cranking out studs. They are just plain fun to watch, and the other side of the ball cannot take that part away from us!
 
Babers obviously isn't going anywhere until after the season, but Gilbert's duties need to be handed elsewhere. I have seen next to NOTHING from him... Scheme & play calling is horrible.
 
That was me.
I called it the 2005 WVU game.
That is the closest comparison that I think I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. I remember it vividly. I shook GRob's hand that day. It was the beginning of a glittery new era.

This is probably the end of one.

I wouldn't be so sure of this. Wildhack isn't going to sit on his hands and not start the process if we say lose to Liberty and then FSU/WF/Clemson. Amazingly we've lived through these coaching changes now 4x. Some were disorganized (Pasqualoni), some were snap (Marrone) and others were thoughtful/due diligent process (Shafer/GROB).

I would prefer to rip the bandaid off if this is inevitable
 
Such a weird game and a weird spot the program is in right now.

The entire defense felt like 90 pct of the time they knew what their job was and effectively got it done.

On offense it feels so fractured. Outside Tisdale getting demolished on the sack fumble I felt the OL knew their jobs and did it pretty well. Blitz pickup was adequate if not pretty good.

The RBs seemed to do pretty well too.

Felt like we missed Rhino a lot. Mang was still good but the step up showed he is still learning.

Once you look at the the QB position, play calling and wideout play it feels like a disconnected mess. Indecisive, sometimes not sure what they should be doing, poor reads on some plays, poor calls on others, dropped balls, poor throws and head scratching decisions at critical times.

Special teams is also a discombobulated mess as well.

So overall we have one side of the ball ready to go every game and matchup with anyone. The other side has some elements that are functioning and know their jobs while the other elements are just lost. I don't have faith or even a strong sense of hope the struggling elements are going to figure it out. I do have hope that the program could be ok with a change if done properly and holding on to what we know works.

DFB hiring from his old stable.

Everything you wrote is a fair assessment.

It's definitely not a case of the cupboard being bare, especially on D.
