This is honestly about what I expected. I was surprised everyone had such high expectations, and I think on a prediction thread I let that influence me and said we could get 7 wins. But I really wasn’t feeling it- just hoped I was missing something. I’ve seen plenty of teams with talent that didn’t do anything due to poor coaching.
Because we all love our team.
That’s fine, but understand that the problems lie much deeper than the Wright vs Rogers debate
I don’t understand this post…
No, we have one QB that prior to his injury was good in the right offense. We completely changed the offense he worked in and brought in a QB that doesn’t work in any offense as a QB.
That system literally died. I don’t what we were suppose to do. Promote one of his offensive assistants that didn’t call plays? Leach’s air raid was unique to him.
Get a better QB in the portal or run close to the same system. Either would’ve been better than what we’re trying.
No matter how many times some of you say this it doesn’t make it true but y’all do you.
You mean we have people that will continue making the same post over and over again? Remarkable.
The "up the gut, smash mouth" football folks hate the air raid. The air raid or pass first folks hate "up the gut, smash mouth" style of football.
The administration decided to go ahead and install the plan for our inevitable expulsion from the SEC. We'll see you soon Sunbelt.
This is a rare case of undeserved Peter Principle. He rose to the level of his incompetence, but if he had been promoted maybe after another 5 or 6 years of working under a good CEO head coach, he might have made a good HC in the future. This experience, unfortunately, will set him back for at least 10 years, and he may never get another shot at a HC position.
Try to Win any of those games without that offense. Fact is without their points, we don't win any.
A big issue he had was pride as well. He thought because his defense was ahead of Leach's offense after year 3, that he suddenly was the expert. He focused on the few things Leach did wrong rather than the wealth of things he did right. Not to mention MSU will always have more talent on defense so it's expected for it to tote the load most of the time.
I don't believe you. I don't think anyone expected an offense that can't even reach double digits even with Rogers out.
We were between a rock and a hard place with the timing of coach leach's unfortunate passing coinciding with cohen's bolt to auburn. Under the circumstances the choice we made to promote Arnett was about the best one available but we probably should have better anticipated rocky roads ahead. At first I thought we failed miserably by not insisting that Arnett try to maintain as much of a status quo as he could to get us through this transitional season. But then as I think about it more that probably would have just prolonged the inevitable. Better to give him full reign and let him sink or swim instead of having him pretend to be Mike Leach's for a season. He sank like a stone. Time to move on.
On paper... these were all winnable:
Yep that's when we all knew. That's when I started drunk texting folks
That was when my friends that are Hog/Bama fans started texting me! "What the hell have ya'll done!?!?"
I expected a **** show. It is. I felt the people saying we’d be last in the SEC were probably a lot closer to being right than people expecting 7-9 wins. They were.
