Punting!
Let's do it on first down - save Shoop a few plays from the pared down playbook!

Not to take anything away from our punter because he is doing a more than adequate job given the state of the team, but I think our net punting would be lower if the team was better. I say that because they probably tell the return guys to just not lose the ball because position doesn't matter so much against our D because they will score anyway so focus on wrapping the ball up not how far you can return it.

We are punctual.

We haven't been late to a game yet.

So, not to blow my own horn, but I said multiple times in the non-conference that hazell and shoop were idiots to try to "establish the run", because our line sucks, and unfortunately it looks like I was right.

While this is no surprise (and not incorrect), I still think it's funny everyone focuses on our offense. Our defense blows too.

The root cause of all of this is recruiting. Last in recruiting = last in various categories. We can bs along about what great student athletes they are but if they cannot play, we are s__t out of luck in trying to compete on the football field.

What are you talking about? They don't show up at all the second half of games.

 

[boilerpt]

Being "close" without ever taking that next step.

 

[ahhculdee]

Our punter is awesome! Best thing I can say about the team right now.

 

[SIBoiler2]

What are we good at? Keeping our opponents bowl eligible.

 

[Gerard_Francisco]

We are really good at ping pong. Just go to the Co-Rec and check it out.

 

[banshee90]

Getting our kids in the big leagues ie Indiana state pen

 

[nat100]

Winning the preseason press conference

 

[ghostoffatjack]

LOSING!

 

[To No]

#1 in creating an apathetic fan/alumnus base. When does our team get their participation trophy?

lbodel,

This team has no identity on offense. This is because the OC is schizophrenic. And Hazell is either too dumb or too stubborn to see what the problem is. Shoop should have been let go prior to this season. He has ruined three QBs already and is on his way to ruining another. It's obvious that Blough has happy feet because he doesn't trust Shoop's scheme. And he's not getting coaching to correct easily-fixable mechanical issues.

I think Hudson has been put into some bad spots by Shoop, but it's apparent that he is clueless when it comes to stopping good passing teams. When TV announcers are calling out the coaches because the DBs are playing way too soft in coverage, you just know it's time for a change.

Hazell has to own the fact he chose these two retread coordinators to start with. Problem is, he's too busy blaming players for "lack of execution". Perhaps, Darrell, the problem is the moronic schemes of yours and your coordinators.

Math and science...

 

[pu1985]

Being hydrated for games!

Mostly agreed. At most programs, one or both of these coordinators would have been gone after the first season. After the second season, neither would remain. There was clearly no progress being shown.

Hazell has sealed his own fate by sticking to them for three years.
