Thoughts on Moorhead, coaching and the season

Well done Coach Moorhead, you have completely wasted any potential for a good/great season. You have somehow burned up all your good will in one season, and that's pretty impressive considering how patient State fans in general are.

As mentioned in other threads, I was hoping we had turned a corner offensively based on how we looked vs aTm and La Tech. I'm now convinced that his overly complicated offense won't work at all against decent defenses, or defensive speed.

He has had a whole season to make adjustments and we look just as bad offensively now as we did earlier.


That being said, hats off to the defense and defensive coaching. That side of the ball has been organized, resilient and hasn't quit. Was really impressed with what they have shown when put into awful situations by our inept offense.

Here is some FREE self-scouting for our offensive coaches.

1) Your QB should not have more rushing attempts than your RBs combined.

2) When you need less than a foot for a first down, line up under center instead of 6yds back.

3) Get plays in quickly and don't have your Olineman staying in their stances for 25 seconds each play. Sometimes just line up and run the play as called because the defense can adjust a bit more quickly to an audible than the offense when it's that slow.


I'm off the Moorhead bandwagon. Maybe sometime next year if we start looking decent on offense he can change my mind but as of now he's an offensive idiot, not a guru. You're coaching in the SEC, so you need an offense that works in the SEC, not some conference with limited defensive speed/skill.

Good luck to the D though, really proud of them and the defensive coaches.
