re: Official 2019 Ole Miss Football Thread: 4-7 (2-5) - L 57-38 - NEXT UP: MS State

You have also stated don't attend games. If fans are going to give up on the players what incentive do they have to continue to play hard for a coach they know is on the way out? Its not about players threatening. If Ealy, Plumlee, Moore, Conner and all the actual talent decide to transfer where does that leave the program? Regardless of who the coach is.

It means we are completely starting over and I personally don't think the fan base can handle a complete rebuild. No one is going to the games now. The school simply can't sustain another year of pointless football.

I personally think you HAVE to bring Matt back one more year. Let him recruit a solid class and have all the young talent. It isn't the popular thing to say but it's what the PROGRAM needs.

A new coach can energize the fan base with a 6-6 season. Look at Freeze's first season. Luke going 4-8 the next two years does nothing

1) defensive line was atrocious today. Could not wrap up that QB. He sat back and picked us apart and every time we almost had him we over pursued or whiffed on the tackle.

2) Plumlee looks like a better fit in this offense than Corral. Small sample size, but it was also when the pressure was highest and he didn’t look scared and I don’t think he missed a throw.

3) we had the ball on the 1 yard line 2 times today and scored 0 points total between those drives. O line needs to run sprints this afternoon until they throw up after watching that tape. Unacceptable

4) coaching malpractice when we lined up to kick a field goal down 15 points with so little time left. We still have to score 2 more TDs so it did us nothing. If that was Matt’s call he is really in over his head.

ETA:
5) I hate refs. When it’s that close, always call it a TD so you can review it and get it right. They have a hard job I get it, but they make it harder on themselves by not calling it a TD and sending it to the booth. Same crap as the Cam Jordan play last week. They will stop the clock no matter the situation the measure a First Down but stopping the clock here to review was out of the question? BS

This might sound pretty bad, but I think Corral getting dinged up towards the end there was fortunate for OM. Certainly hope he is okay, but it was time for someone else to get a shot. It sucks an injury is what prompted it.

Plumlee is the only reason I am going to give the Bama game a watch next weekend. I had full intentions of going to the mountains. That doesn't mean I don't support the team - spare me that BS. It's a 2:30/3:30 (eastern) game smack dab in the middle of a Saturday and you have to ask yourself what your time is worth. I'm not exactly pumped for another weekend of "Our offense sucks. Fire Matt Luke. frick this team." when it's a beautiful day outside and I can go have some fun. But this Plumlee kid seems poised and like there's definite potential. Even if we get smoked (which is the likely outcome, Tua has 25 incompletions on the season, 17 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions), I still want to see how this kid plays with a full-on opportunity.

Starting Plumlee would add a lot of intrigue to the matchup, and IMO gives OM fans a spark of hope to watch the game. Corral had a fair chance, and it's time to give the guy who almost just got us to overtime a legitimate shot.

Edit: By the way Luke Logan is terrible.

I was at the game and Corral missed two open WRs in the end zone in the first half. He had Moore open on a pick play on third down and he would’ve walked in with a good throw. He missed Moore in the back of the end zone wide open and was late with a bad throw. Plumlee broke the long run and Cal defense was constantly afraid of him running on outside the pocket. They had no answer when Plumlee got outside the pocket. They played a lot of zone defense afraid of Plumlee beating them with his legs. Ole Miss defense had a lot of trouble with 3rd and long in the game. At one point in the 2nd half Cal was 5 for 7 on third down. I think at least 3 was on 3rd and 10 or longer. If we could’ve tackled the QB we could’ve had 5 sacks or more. Secondary was god awful and nobody in our secondary looks for the ball. Cal got away with a couple of pass interference because they were looking for the ball. I knew the first down run with a minute left was gonna come back to kill us. Cal only made one mistake and that was the interception. We had so many opportunities but couldn’t make them.

That turned out to be the right call. We make that chipshot FG and then the bullshite call with 8 seconds left wins the game for us. We needed three scores. We basically got three scores. I don't have a problem with it.

I have a problem with the clock management at the end.

I'm not saying now, but if at the end of the year we don't make a bowl game, then Luke doesn't deserve another opportunity. So Luke gets a free pass because we don't have a dedicated AD? Can we not secure an AD in 3 months time? I'm admittedly not up to speed on how long that process takes.

Keith Carter statement to PAC-12 on non-review

There were 3 or 4 drops, yes, Pellerin's stands out at the end. But most of the misfires were a result of Corral throwing it at their feet, etc. Not blaming him, just saying.

Corral wasn't the problem on all of that. A lot of drops. Maybe they don't like the guy i don't know but it wasn't all his fault.
