Yes 100%
Perfectly said. Great analysis. He’s like Captain Sobel in Band of Brothers.
Honestly, this program is so dead that firing Crummy won’t do much but make us have to pay out some ridiculous buyout. I don’t see us coming back from this anytime soon.
I was thinking the other day just how far we’ve fallen. From 2008 until the boy wonder AD was hired, game day atmosphere was awesome. Win or lose, people had fun!! Ive been to high school games that have a better game day atmosphere than us, as a matter of fact, several. It will take years for things to get close to where they were 10-15 years ago, if at all.
We need one first down to ice the game. Three straight runs directly into the middle of the D-Line. Then they play the worst hail Mary defense in the world and allow the one thing you cannot do in that situation is to allow a man behind the pile undefended. They get a gift from the football gods in a missed PAT.
Then with the game on the line again but this time only needing a yard or two, drop back to pass. Not an RPO, or a designed run, or the actual time to try and run it. It is just like what was said above, he steps in and makes the absolute wrong call every time. 7 games decided by one score this year and every one of those we have lost can be directly traced back to the moment he inserts himself into the play call and call the wrong play.
I admit I got one thing wrong in my predictions last night. I thought we would lose 38-37 on the Hail Mary. But, I quickly revised my prediction to EXACTLY what happened in the OT. That was so easily predictable it's as if I was watching a replay while watching it live.
I don't think the WKU and Ark games will be very close, so at least we'll be spared the "heartbreak" of another last second loss. Then it'll come down to the Kennesaw State game when a 1-10 KSU squad comes to town eager to secure win #2. Will Crummy still be the coach, or will our do-nothing leaders have finally relieved him of his duties and an interim coach gets the chance to be humiliated? Actually, the KSU game will depend 101% on the players. If they pull together and want to try to win a game, before the group completely dissolves into portal transfers, then maybe they can get win #4 breaking the streak of 3-9 seasons. If the players have quit, then KSU will rock us and leave Ruston 2-10. I am leaning toward the latter scenario.
With any kind of a coach, just about ANY KIND, and with this very easy schedule, the talent level on this team should equate to no worse than an 8-4 season, and really 10-2. As I watch our games, which I have had the misfortune of doing, I see individual talent and the player pool is good enough to field a winning team (awesome play by Tru Edwards, made his dad proud). It's all about the absolutely worst coach in Tech history and one of the worst coaches ever. This clown should NEVER be allowed to coach football again, not even a Pop Warner team as those kids don't deserve to suffer under Crummy either.
Otherwise, last night, I did thoroughly enjoy both the Notre Dame and Alabama games! Renewed my faith in the enjoyment aspect of college football...
LOL, you’re right. It’s so obvious when he starts coaching.
I actually think this team should be 8-1 at worst. All we need is a coach.I admit I got one thing wrong in my predictions last night. I thought we would lose 38-37 on the Hail Mary. But, I quickly revised my prediction to EXACTLY what happened in the OT. That was so easily predictable it's as if I was watching a replay while watching it live.

It paid to sit in the woods instead of the stands. Jr got a nice buck for the freezer and the wall.
I’m so apathetic about Jech football that I’ve come full circle and hope they just keep him.
Don’t pay the million dollar buyout.
Just don’t expect anyone to buy tickets next year.
Bury the program.
Invest in Men’s Basketball and Baseball.
Forget football forever.
We have 10 tickets and didn’t use any this past weekend. FOR HOMECOMING!! We never miss Homecoming. The game after Thanksgiving will have 200 people attending and we won’t be there.
I have attended one game this year.. It was the Nichols game and the only reason I went is that I was invited to one of the suites. Free tickets, food, etc. I now live in Ruston from Frisco TX and while before I would spend the $$$ to travel, get tickets, food for the weekend, I now don't go and it's only 15 min away. Sad how far our program has fallen.
I can't justify spending the money, the 800-mile round trip, or the heartburn caused by watching them. If my dad wants to go I will take him, but even he only wanted to go to one game this year. I still watch them on tv when I can, but at least I can flip the channel to see team coached by someone who know what they are doing.
I agree with your "talent level" statement. I'm convinced that Tech has better talent than almost EVERYONE they've faced in CUSA so far this season. Tru Edwards and Jimmy Holiday are potential game breakers. TE Eli Finley, DB Damarcus Griffin-Taylor, DB Cedric Woods, Zac Zimos, and DL Mykol Clark, are all good players. And punter Patrick Rea, appears to be a very talented punter. Even Evan Bullock, only a redshirt freshman with 6 starts, appears to have a high level of talent. Bullock has thrown for 1,452 yds, 12 TD's and only 2 INT's in almost 7 games. That's a very serviceable performance for a Redshirt freshman. But Bullock has got to quit putting the ball on the ground when he gets hit from behind, etc... It would help if Bullocks' coach would quit putting him in so many bad situations with better play calls. But bottom line, Bullock is already a better QB than most of the QB's we've faced in CUSA.
I honestly think that LA Tech somehow, someway, miraculously, already has the talent level to compete and win in CUSA. With a MUCH BETTER coach, this group of players could bounce back pretty quickly next year and compete for a CUSA title. But it won't happen with Skater boy in charge.
