Joe Craddock...

SMU Mafia

Guys. They were daring us to throw all night, they were playing single high safety who was hardly 10 yards deep through the first quarter. Corners playing press. There was no way to defend a 4 verts concept. Literally had 1 on 1 match ups all night. In the second qtr, There was times they were blitzing and leaving a slot guy on a safety 15 yards away. I watched this reciever on this play. Dude ran a 5 yard out and would have caught the ball 7 yards down field with room to run. Ty wouldnt even look that way. Like i was so fricking pissed at how they gave us shite all night. We just do not have a QB smart enough to take advantage of it. Some times the qb has to make a play call change, or a check with me.

I am just going to tell you guys. This is the first time i have been to a game this year. You are unable to see everything from the tv i did last night. Our coaches do not believe this shitty players can beat guys 1v1, and the times they tried the guys couldn't beat them. The play calling was awful, because we simply didnt try and beat them with what they were giving us, but on the flip side these players can not win 1 on 1 match ups. This doesnt excuse anyone for not hitting hot routes to get guys the ball when they have no one covering them for 15 yards.

I have defended the coaches on play calling because our players can not execute because of the WRs. That is 100% right, but we also have a QB who can not read a defense/cant throw 45 yards.

This crap is a mixture of failure on both the coaches, and players. It is just too damn frustrating to watch this team live. Respect to all of you who went to multiple games.

Storey didn’t look good yesterday, but neither did the O line, or receivers. Storey has no need to be able to throw 45 yards, because he can’t get protection that long, and if he did, his receivers couldn’t get separation enough to make a throw to them safe.

I was at the game last night, and our tackles were getting absolutely worked by their DEs. It was also shocking to see in person how poor our receivers were at getting separation, hence why we targeted O'Grady so much and threw so many screens.

This is the worst Arkansas receiver corps I've ever seen.

Craddock called a great game against Alabama.

Unfortunately that is only one game this year. The rest of the time he's looked horrible. Yes, the pieces aren't there to have the offense we want to run, I can grant you that, but he's done a very poor job of calling an offense for what we do have.

When we have been doing something well he's shown an unfortunate tendency to get cutesy and get away from it. Our OC is getting on the job training and this is not the conference to break in a new guy.

Look, we were worse then we thought going into the season so we weren't going to do well no matter what. But Craddock has been a net negative and not a net positive.

He’s awful for sure

Mixture of dumb players, especially at key positions, and extremely poor coaching nets the worst team in the schools history.

Our coach is now 16-30. I'm no Pythagoras , but is that good??

Put me in the pro-Craddock crowd. One the guy can recruit like a maniac and two you can see flashes of the scheme and how it will work but he is severely hampered by talent. I think you all will fall in love with this offensive staff after the start getting some talent at WR.
