    That is what I'm angry about as well. And yes that lays at the feet of our coaching staff here and those coaches involved that left under Skip the past 4 years.

    Sounds like Allen will start Saturday. UAB has a beastly front 4. Slants and screens will be needed to help our OL out against them. Defense will need to lay lights out...like always.

    So the Rattay haters have spoken again and you are lapping it up.

    You should keep up. The only decent coaches we've "lost" in the last 4 years are DCs. According to you and many other mis-informed Rattay haters he was never worth having. If we had a great coaching staff we'd be losing coaches each year...except Rattay of course.

    Have we lost any coaches who were not decent? (other than Rattay... )

    If all CCG hopes are gone after UAB game then I am indifferent. I guess let Elliot play the UTSA and Bowl game so he can at least have some significant game experience for next season as either the 2020 starter or a backup.
    I totally agree with this.

    If we beat UAB, we gotta go back to our best available QB for UTSA and the Conference Championship. Bowl games are just exhibitions, but at that point - especially if we're conference champs, I'd start Smith.

    If we lose to UAB and USM doesn't stumble - that is when I'd start preparing for the future.

    How many QBs are we supposed to have? We have Smith, Allen, Elliot and Thomsen all on scholarship. In today's world of quick transfers, you just don't carry 5 or more scholarship QBs anymore.

    It's a quality and preparedness issue not numbers. This has obviously been an issue for 3-4 years at the QB position.

    While I agree with the statement here, I would say it is even more slanted to the preparedness issue that is pissing me off. It very well could be quality as well, but anyone that expected a kid with as few snaps as Allen has to go up and win against a decent team was really reaching. That is rare, there are exceptions of course, but the first major action for a QB is usually rough. Now how bad it looked may support the quality argument. I didn't get to watch the game, only listen so I will defer to how he looked to you guys who saw it.

    No one other than the rockstar has been prepared for 1st team game action for the last three years. That's on the coach and his staff. As bad as our QB play has been you could argue Skip hasn't prepared anyone for 1st team game action the last three years.

    Re: Biggest Improvement is between week 1 and week 2

    The only way Tech beats UAB is if our players play to their potentials and then some and defeat their players as individuals. Our coaches can’t scheme and call plays well enough to win. Holtz is going to simplify the offensive game plan down to 8 plays and just trust in flawless execution. Defensively, we’ll go with the bend, bend, bend, break slowly approach... And most important of all Holtz will go with his HOPE strategy, that the other team finds a way to lose.

    Nice dig at Rattay.

    You do know Holtz is an extreme micromanager, right? That’s why he hires his “out of work, down on their luck” buddies. So he can control them.

    I agree with this much more than any argument that we don't have enough QBs on the roster.

    For the most part, coaches hire people that they know and trust. I would argue this extends to almost any field, but coaching is especially insular. This is not something that is a Skip Holtz problem.

    Last year, almost every time Rattay would start coaching J'Mar on the sideline, Holtz was over there butting into the conversation. Good for Tim that he moved up and out.

    In this excellent interview of Coach O @ LSU by Tim Brando, Coach O says one of the lessons he learned after being fired from Ole Miss was "letting the postion coaches handle their positions. Let the coaches coach. I will still handle motivation and recruiting". Great coach life lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IZwuL94KvM

    And, as with everywhere, it's a mixed bag. Diaco and Diaz were connections...so was Baker once removed.
