re: Pat Dooley Podcast: “Lets ride it out. Firing everyone isn’t always the answer.”

Mond has a Coach on the Hotseat for lack of game managers

Fromm has 2 nfl backs behind him. We ll see how he does next yr without that luxury when he has to actually contribute more to win than handing off and passing 12 times a game

Kasim Hill has 67 yards passing in 2 games combined vs non cupcakes. If Franks avgd 30 yards a game, your head would explode.

Ranked in order of importance of winning...

QB
HC
DL
OL

I think after Treon he took what he could get

I do think it's his fault. But I also think he's had bad luck. Grier would be incredible for us at this point had he not fricked our program


I think Mac can win championships here. I really do, and here's why: his offenses have been successful with less talented teams than what we currently have. I think he needs to cut ties from Nuss, keep this possible top 5 class together and get these guys signed, keep the 2019 class together and sign another top 5 class, and hire an OC that will have a better feel for playcalling and QB development. He's made some really good hires since his initial staff, and I think he'll make a good OC hire. I think it's silly to call to fire a head coach that's done what he's done for the program as a whole so far.

If he is such a great offensive mind Then why does he not take over the play calling . If he took over the play calling and improved the offense then I would agree he should get a chance with a new OC . But he either doesn't care enough to take over the play calling or can't do any better .

Come on man, it's silly to suggest he doesn't care. Of course he cares and wants to be successful. I think it's hard to take away playcalling from a guy that is hired to do that job. It could create a rift within the coaching staff and that's the last thing you want going on during the season. Imagine your boss taking over what you do at work but you still being on staff and working, but your main duty is being taken over by the boss. Pride comes into play and you're pissed off. It wouldn't surprise me if Nuss was hired as a head coach by some no name school just to save the look of being fired.

I've also said I'd like to see Mac be more hands on with the play calling and the development of the QB until he gets the program up and running the way he wants it to be, then he can become the CEO type. I think once he gets it rolling he is going to be really good- whether it's here or somewhere else, because he understands the CEO aspect of running a program. I'd like to see him get more hands on though, and I thought we saw more of that last week.

What if we finish 6-5 or worse and lose a lot of the top prospects in this class ?

You tell Matt Corral the offense is struggling because we don't have HIM. It's pretty easy. And it's the truth. The others stick it Corral sticks. Great players have the mindset that they're what's missing from the offense. Regardless, Mac isn't getting fired this year, and it would be devastating to the program if this class fell apart, so I don't even want to think about what could happen if Corral were to decommit. We'll just say it would be absolutely devastating to the program and set us back a long long time.

I’d say he’s arrogant and hard headed.

Oh you mean like a lot of posters on this board who are expert coaches? Oh ok.

I'm not going to lie, I think the ''arrogant'' thing is kind of overused by people outside looking in.

I voted for President Obama twice -- and watched year in and year out of rednecks saying things like: HE'S SUCH A SMUG ARROGANT MAN, WHAT AN ARROGANT MAN.

And I defended him, always. I didn't think he looked smug or arrogant, not ever.

Then I voted for President Trump. And the hilarious thing is I hear the same rhetoric. Smug, arrogant, etc. etc..

I've heard that about McElwain, too, but he has never really come off as arrogant. That being said:

He may need a new OC. I'm not sold yet, but I'm not going to get rid of him either. If Corral comes in and is absolutely horrible, then I'll just stop watching football for a decade, because it'd just be another bust at QB.

I could actually see that.

“Nuss called the plays.”

“Don’t blame Nuss, blame me.”

Those are just answers to loaded questions -- you can't win either way you answer them. ''Did you take over playcalling?'', there's no feasible way to answer that question without totally fricking over your staff.

But, I mean...

Eventually, the playcalling has got to fit our recruits, and not our recruits to playcalling. At least until they can get the proper depth and players at key positions.

Driskel, in the capable hands of Meyer/Mullen would probably have won the Heisman because he fit their system and they knew how to run that offense.

He was never meant to be ''under center, drop back, feel the pocket''. And I feel like they're kind of trying to do this with Franks.

''Don't run it first chance you get, try to progress through your reads.''

I'd rather Franks just took off if his first and second read wasn't there than bomb it. Really, if he sees a lane I'd give him the chance.

The only problem is that if he goes down, we're onto Zaire and then we're really, really, fricked. Which is why I'd rather sacrifice Zaire's body this year than Franks' mind.

Jesus the haters are really really really stupid
