I do think S & C is a problem but I also think this OL is poorly coached.

Absolute lies.

Defense held them to a FG.

Our OC runs a stupid play on 4th down which KDB signed off on instead do punting which gave them perfect field position to score 7.

That isn't on defense.

We were done 0-10 driving to score with 5 minutes left in the first half and our QB decides to run confused and instead of getting down like Mendoza does he stands straight up and let's them tee off on him to fumble.

That killed all of our momentum.

We basically got nothing from the offense till the backup came in.

That was NOT on the defense.

Offense didn’t help but the long drives were largely a byproduct of Indiana gaining 5-7 yards on first down runs. It didn’t seem like it could’ve been any easier for them.

The fumble by Ty as an absolute dagger though.

What we need is our HC to show development and growth which means firing some of his friends starting with the ST coach. Also I would fire S&C coach and possibly


This is what im hoping for....got to give him a chance to see his way of doing things isn't working vs decent teams. I dont think he needs 2 more years to do it like others have said. I think improvements are needed next year, doesn't have to be major but no blowouts and better schemes.

I believe we need to get portal players but we must develop our recruits. I dont know if we are doing that now.

Hurt starting QB stayed in far too long.. Deboer allows them to go up 14 more points before making a change. Then we see a small spark, but defense was gassed by then.

This staff is full of high paid idiots that we can't afford to clean out. They need to be pressured to change/improve...

Or maybe we send in the blonde to take some compromising photos.

The IU offensive line killed our defense line play after play. Our front and lbers were blocked every play. We looked like children playing men. Our DB's tackle like little girls.

The good news is we never have to see #1 Jackson in a Bama uniform again. F his recruiting rankings. The guy is a turd.

We can’t fire Deboer. I don’t think we need to. First thing this program needs to do is to go get Jeremy Pruitt to run the defense. Womack is an average D coordinator. Second thing is find a good offensive line coach. I believe we have enough talent in that locker room at this position, them boys need coaching. I will say that Grubb has done a poor job this season, but if our o-line play is improved, some of these perceived stupid play calls will suddenly work with an Austin Mack or Keelon Russell leading the team. Third thing, special teams coordinator needs to go. They’ve been horrible this season. We’ve got more athletes than any team in the country not named UGA or Oh St. Why can’t we return a punt or kickoff successfully? Fourth thing, find a kicker and punter. The punter had a decent night last night though, but he’s still average at best

So we need to fire Kane but retain Grubb?

Yeah I’m not sure why they continued to put him on the field. He’s not bad in coverage, but he’s probably the worst cornerback I’ve ever seen against the run. He’ll see the running back getting outside and immediately shoot inside and take himself out of the play and loses containment, over and over.

I’d like to fire both honestly. Just not sure who we replace Grubb with. Realistically it probably won’t happen anyway because of him and Deboers relationship. I know who we replace Womack with. Pruitt is ready and available.

Yeah, the defense looked like the game 1 defense. No fire, no fight, no attacking, arm tackling, not in position, getting manhandled, looking lost and confused. But Indiana wasn't do anything tricky or special, it was just straight up 11 on 11 domination. They looked like they wanted to be there for 1 series-the first series. After that it was all over.

The level of inconsistency that we've seen the last 2 years is not good. Not good at all.

Deboer seems like a stand up guy, but I’ve seen enough. Pay the buyout, don’t care who you get but get someone that is focused on improving his team’s toughness and isn’t afraid to piss off players or coaches.


Nah, firing a coach after year 2 is bush league. If we're still in this same position next year, we fire him.
