It’s Q!  Q, then Tracy Rocker and hard to forget Stacey Danley/James Joseph.   Joseph hyperventilated during tiger walk at the ‘89 iron bowl.

Love to have that guy here next year and by that guy, I mean the son of my favorite NFL player ever, Muhsin "moose" Muhammad. 

I think he showed he’s extremely immature if he cannot follow team rules (no matter if we agree w/ rule or not).

Stoops has won 10 twice and 8 once in 9+ years at UK. He is hardly a 9-10/yr coach unless you mean the number of players he has arrested every year for everything from DUI to home invasions. My son and two daughters in law (UK grads) would love to see him leave. 

After this year, barring a complete melt he’ll have 3, 9-10 win seasons in last 5 yrs.  Not bad there!   

tell the DIL’s Bear isn’t coming back anytime soon

Dan Lanning - sec experience, big time recruiter, solid DC

mark stoops - not flashy but wins, would recruit better at AU, hard nose well coached exams.    Already competes in SEC and consistently wins 9-10/yr

Pappoe has been a massive let down. He never quite lived up to his 5* ability. 

He’s playing out of position IMO.  In general our LB’ corp isn’t very talented or well coached.  

How do you listen the football game on a AU radio station in Atlanta  and on what app?

Here we go with the Saban similarities again. Good lord, Saban had and still has a track record of winning and winning championships he earned that right, Harsin has not. 

I’m referencing the comment about Boise media hating Harsin, not about success.    Apples and Oranges.  
 

U get a pass once u start winning, but Sabanwould have been crucified if he didn’t coming off the Miami disaster!

People hated Saban and it took years for media to understand his personality.  Not saying their the same but if Saban would have failed at bama there would have been some happy people

We may still have a spot for hill!   

Is he not a good recruiter?   He has to be relentless and efficacious on the trail.

So let’s play a game:

assign percentage of blame to the following factors (must add up to 100%)

 

Harsin:

Bobo:

OL:

QB play:

Defense:

Lack of overall talent: 

Gus: 

Illuminati/other: 

 U tell us.    My thoughts are blame 4 what for what?  
 

a.   Hiring a coach that was 3rd option ( because others said nope due to all the disfunction in PTB and fanatics) and that had no SE experience?   
 

b.   Letting a lame duck coach continue longer than he should have considering there was less than consensus support

c.   Lack of overall talent due to b above?   
 

I want success and think CBH can get us there, but we are crazies. Must be the millennial or u owe me mentality.

Tank ran all over USC. He could have gotten 4th and 1 blindfolded. Tank had over 100 yards at PSU. The kid can play and make something out of nothing.

Stat, where u when I need u,  haha.

hey,   I love Tank!    We do not seem 2  get any push or open holes on known run down.   Just something that’s been happening for a couple yrs

You don't recall correctly. I've complained consistently that in our most crucial situations, we don't put the ball in our best players' hands - Bigsby (or Hunter).

- 4th and goal on the 2 at PSU we run a fade.

- 4th and 1 at USC we run a deep seam to a TE.

- 10 minutes to go in the 4th up 10-0 against Bama and we throw a pick on first play following a turnover.

- 3rd and 2 to win the IB and we run a dive with absolutely no blocking help for Tank.

- 6 minutes to go up 3 against Houston and we run 2 bombs.

I've consistently wanted us to use our talent in the most crucial situations. We consistently haven't. 

And yes, typically going away from your strength or higher percentage plays in crucial downs IS bad play calling. Is there such a thing as bad playcalling if that isn't it?

1.   4th and 2 or 3rd and 2 runs do not work for us.   Been this way all yr. that’s why they did the jet sweeps
2.   What u would think is automatic is a QB sneak for less than a yd since we have a got a 9’0 tall 300 lb qb, but heck no.   Cannot even get 2 feet.

If you know the QB can’t make an accurate long throw then what good does it do to call it? 

we struggled mightily with short passes 2.    U got to call plays, we were just too inconsistent    

Not trying to bash TJ at all as I dont believe in it, nor did I expect him to be playing this yr.   Put in a tough position and played extremely hard

I like Harsin and I know it’s just 1 season but more fans should be more critical of him or we’ll stay mediocre for longer than we should. He’s an offensive coach who’s offense struggled, specifically in the 2nd half.
 

And yes I know these players aren’t “his guys” but what the offense showed is disappointing 

How is more fans being critical of or HC gonna help.   😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I agree. It really makes no sense why we have not hired him yet if he is the man.

Aren’t they under investigation?   Can’t hire someone that may be blackballed without vetting 

He needs to learn  (1.) Play for points (2.) No need to take unnecessary risks.  
 

Unless outflanked no need for aggressive 4th down plays (S Carolina) or a run up the middle for a field goal instead of pass for 1st down may be the best decision ( Ala) !!!!!!

Just run from the wildcat with Tank , hunter or shivers. We needed 2 yards on 3rd down to put the game away.. coaching lost this game period. 

So at that point do u pass on 3rd?   If Tank stayed in the answer is heck no, but I think u have to get the 1st at that point

Yes, he could’ve gone down, but his heart drove him to think he could get the first. He got us 3rd and 2, which should imply an auto first down for most decent offenses in 2 tries. The down matters more than the clock there. If he squats down at say, 3rd and 5, statistics would say it’d be nearly impossible for us to get it with how abysmal we were throwing. 

Love Tank and the effort, but he had to go down, he knows it too.   Not bad mouthing as he’ll come back stronger and better than ever.   Sometimes we learn lessons the hard way!

So proud of the team!!

No so much coaches tho

Again, Mason on the last series went away from being agressive and let them drive down the field. Worked the whole game and went cover with the defense.

 

Hate it for the defense they played a great game and deserved the win....

Completely disagree.  Our d line was just gassed

I think the difference in Harsins situation vs Kirby or Saban’s is…. Those coaches were not saddled by a pandemic that prevented visits.  We were in a dead period til June.

Plus,  Harsin had no name rec down here.  all of this has made our 1st yr recruiting pitch much more difficult 

Where is Flex,   Ha Ha.    

So it wasn’t Bo’s fault?

Many of MSU’s  2nd half drives were helped by penalties.  TV did a poor job showing so not sure the issue.  

MSU picked on 38 constantly 

D was on the field too long in 2nd half, but they also have responsibility for that. how about a 3 and out?   
 

letting MSU have a 98 yd drive was backbreaking
