Wow! now there's a ringing endorsement...
Exactly
Yes. We have been coached out of a 7-1 record, with by our standards a weak team, and into a 4-4 crowd killing, crap fest. This team isn’t anywhere near where the past 3 have been, but I had hoped they would grow. Even without growing they had USC, UAB, and USM beat and the play calling etc finished them off. You can’t take an average talented team and hamstring them with sh@tty play calling and bad management.
Well, you can, cause we have. However, it usually is t conducive to winning or keeping your job. 😉
Winning no, keeping your job....... I think we have proven we can keep some people around way past the winning stage over the years
ROTFLMAO!! Sorry D80, no offense intended.Wow! now there's a ringing endorsement...

Yeah, sorry, no sarcasm icon. “Usually” is the operative word in my post.
You are good, I got it. Just wanted to pile on my frustration at our lack of common business sense when it comes to athletic.
So, from your seat on the 40, what is the blocking scheme on the delayed handoff? What play should you call when your o-line consistently whiffs on their blocks? It doesn't matter what play is called if the players on the field don't execute their jobs.
That's a silly thing to say. The play you call matters enormously. You have to call plays that maximize your team's strengths and expose the other team's weaknesses. For instance, if the other team's defense is killing you with a pass rush, you off set the pass rush with a variety of screen passes, slants, shovel passes, etc....You CAN usually do this regardless of how poorly your OL is playing.
One of the problems with our run game is that our OL is always in an upright position (pass protection style) when the ball is snapped. Because our OL is standing upright, they can't "fire off the line" like a traditional OL in a run game, and they can't get leverage on their opponent in a man to man blocking scenario. That's why 75% of the running plays we call look like some kind of delayed "draw" play.
Sorry HD. The bolded statement is silly or complete BS. If your employees don't execute their job are you going to be successful although you have an excellent business / sales plan?
Happens all the time. I would love to tell you everything is always perfect at work, but it rarely is. Likewise, we have to figure out a way to get it done. Same for LA Tech.
I agree, things aren't always perfect at work or coaching. Holtz and staff work long hours trying to figure out a way to get it done. I can assure you, they are more frustrated about the lack of the Dawg's performance than any fan. We have a lot of young players on the field and some injuries as well.
What do you do if your top 10 salesmen retire, the next in line are not experienced and 4 are out due to health issues, and you can't step in and make the sale for them? All you can do is suggest a strategy.
Doesn't matter, that is the hand you are dealt, that is when you "press" some people into service that you thought or they themselves thought they were not ready. Pull up some interns if you need to (pull the red shirts), do what you need to do.
That is where our next leader is going to come from obviously, it will be an underclassman that steps up and makes it happen
