So, different play callers on different downs isn't working?

It sounded like such a great idea when Brother Hugh mentioned it.

For you football gurus, how is it that coaching strategy grading out?

I don't think they are doing that.


I think they might be better if they did.

I don't understand how some of our fans make it through a normal day

someone elsewhere on the internet said hew doesn't even go to the offensive game-planning meetings, even though he's the main playcaller on Saturdays?

They are just trusting the coaches. No matter what

Yes, very nonsensical quote from him.

I think it's Nix's variation of what Hugh has been saying.
"It's about sticking together through these difficult losses. We're so close, we're not far off." Brother Hugh.
They probably put out the company line. Just tell everyone "we're close" to get them through the off week and up until they have to come up with something else after Gerorgia loss.

On offense. Defense is fairly solid. It just boggles my mind that we have this much talent at WR, and we can't convert a 3rd down.

Oh yea I get that part of it, just baffled how the road getting bumpy means you’re close to anything. Unless it’s like a rural thing and once you get off the paved roads or something it means you’re close to home (where you want to be) maybe? Who knows. Bizarre statement.

On some plays our Oline doesn’t block a soul. When they do, our QB won’t throw it. It’s all coaching at this point. The players are good enough. The scheme must be terrible. Do I run block, pass block, sort of block, I don’t think they know how to run the offense at all. I don’t know why all the plays feel like RPO. Can we just run a normal run play and normal pass play? Faking a handoff on 3rd and 30 is just dumb.

The road has gotten bumpy, but Hugh is so very close to figuring out why Auburn lost two straight.

Defending Member-Guest’s RPO.

Set up with 7 in box.
Cover quick slant.
Second and 10 at best.

Member-Guest has a week to get things looking better or UGA beats us 31-10.

Mizzou beats us 38-10.

4-8 is a possibility IF Member-Guest is picking out his tee gift this weekend instead of firing the offensive line coach and sitting Charlie Chaplin on the bench with his umbrella.

If we finish 4-8, it's because we ended the season with an interim coach.
