Moorhead is a terrible coach

I won't overreact, but poor coaching played a part in the loss this afternoon.

Lets see what happens when/if he gets a QB who can reliably complete a downfield pass.

I'm going to wait until he has his players to make any assumptions. I do think that Shrader will be our starting QB in 2019

Today did not give me the warm and fuzzies about next year. JoMo will not have an elite defense to lean on next year. If we get to 7 wins next year it will be a minor miracle.

Fitz threw a good ball in the second half we just couldn’t catch. Offense woes go beyond fitz

Why would you call for Moorehead to be gone? Certainly disappointed in the season as we were two dropped TD passes from winning 10 games.

You are calling for a coach to be fired after winning 8 games? Really?

I look for Moorhead and his staff to be much better in 2019. First year coaches in the SEC typically struggle and he was no different. Regardless, of how much talent you have, things are going to be difficult.

I have no idea what our record will be in 2019 but the coaching will be better.

OMG-get over it people...the guy has been here one year..and by the way, it wasn't the coach who decided to play hot potato with a pass hitting him square in the breadbasket for a go ahead TD and allowing it to be intercepted! Lets see how it goes!

The part that bothers me is that Moorhead did not seem to learn much throughout the year on how to win with this particular roster and its strengths and weaknesses. Long-term, we will be better off having a better passing attack, but that was never in the cards for this year. This defense got cheated out of its glory by having an anemic offense. Most of the points allowed came off poor field position from offensive miscues.

Inconsistency was the name of the game all season on O it seemed. It felt like every time Fitz threw a good ball it’d get dropped. Conversely, the WRs made a handful of great catches throughout the season that could have easily been drops. Inconsistency stacked on inconsistency is a recipe for failure, though.

I’m pretty worried about our QB situation next year. I felt alright about it until late in the season where it became readily apparent that Joe doesn’t trust Key. I can’t come up with another explanation that explains why we basically never saw him get a chance. Key is a talented dude, too, so it’s extra worrying if Joe can’t get him functional within the offense. This is why I’m not confident at all that Shrader could take over effectively day one.

I’m not super concerned about the D next year - it should still be top 25% nationally imo. We will absolutely struggle for bowl eligibility, though, if our offense is just as dysfunctional in 2019.

Moorhead lost everyone by losing to Florida. If that win happens, I promise you people like me would not be as harsh but still disappointed. 8-5 with that team is just mind boggling. Although I will say, that WR group and an injured Fitz Mullen left behind were too much to overcome.
