You renobs are retarded -- guy inherited an offense with two returning starters. Tell me - how would Sonny's team look any different?
He's working with nothing. It's showing. He's not a miracle worker.
You give a coach a couple of years before making judgements like this. One of the biggest problems with our program is fans like you all.
Can we hire Doug Williams? Omg. Still better than holtz.
Did they know that Army runs the triple option? Defense did not look ready to defend it. Maybe it is coaching; maybe it is execution. Ether way the defense was not ready. That is on the coaching.
Did you say you all? Interesting.Quote:

This is bar-none the worst Tech team I've watched...and that's saying something.
We punted the ball with 7 minutes left. This team has no fight.
They scored more points on us than they did on Morgan State. Maybe we should hire Morgan State's coach, with our players Morgan State's coach probably would have won this game.Quote:

We have personnel, whether talented as last year or not, that were recruited for a passing offense. O-line has some problems yes, but play calling is not helping. Punting when down three scores with 7 minutes to go in the game is quitting (I left the game at this point, it was the first time I left a game early in over 20 years!). I think our program will head in the wrong direction if we keep this hire passed this year.
So again, remind me - how would this team be different if Dykes was still here??
You are retarded Mr. Holtz. Everyone understands we lost alot of starters last year, but a decent coach would still be able to field a decent team with the guys that are here. A well coached team would be able to beat teams like Tulane, Army, and Kansas even in a down year. People like you will continue to make excuses for why we're not winning games for the next few years, meanwhile our program will be moving into oblivion.Quote:

This team has been totally unprepared for TWO opponents who happened to be in the bottom 1/4 of all FBS teams. You can blame that on Dykes if you want, but it doesn't change the facts. It's one thing to get beat because the other team is better than you. We are totally unprepared. There's a difference.Quote:

We would not have waited until the 4th game of the season to throw the ball down the field if he was still here. Army would have run all over us like all options teams have done going back 20 years. But we would not have been in a hole against them. Score would have been about 31-28. You can't keep shuffling all of this off on the players. Last week we moved the ball at will by throwing to DJ Banks in the slot on the little WR screens. Did not run that once all game. Not once. Second quarter showed that Army could not stop passing game. Wasted 1 and a half quarters of football. That is coaching.Quote:

I know kids (players) are going to make mistakes in games......but I like to see those mistakes CORRECTED after a while. I don't want to sit and watch the same mistakes committed over, and over, and over again. The problem with this team is, it never gets better. They don't CORRECT their mistakes.Quote:

Is everyone getting a little cocky here because we beat Illinois and Virginia last year? Tech losing to NC State and Kansas is no surprise after losing nearly our ENTIRE starting offense. Everyone's so shocked we lost to Kansas, one of the worst teams in the b12. We lost to Kansas 29-0 in 2008. Didn't even score points, let alone play them to the final play of the game. Lost to Army that year as well....
Losing to Tulane at home -- there is no excuse for this... but 3-2 is pushing your luck --
Y'all need to get your heads out of your behinds -- and remember, even though last year was great -- it wasn't greatness. Greatness is about longevity and Dykes didn't leave us ANYTHING to sustain what he built.
Puleeze. We had at least two punts today that looked like they were straight out of "kiddie league". LA Tech's punting has been a problem all year, and it hurt us again today. I told you guys 3 games ago that our punting sucked, but Maddawg argued that our punter was great. Okay. Here we sit 5 games into our season, and we're still getting multiple 20-yard punts from the same guy who gave us a 24-yd punt in game one.Quote:
