We've talked a lot about the strange decision to go with the trick play. In the first half of the Vikings game, KOC took two significant gambles. One worked and one didn't, but I thought they were both good risks to take and made situational sense. We went for it on fourth and inches in our own...

Ideally, a boss recognizes the strengths and personalities of their subordinates and puts them in a position to be successful. Whenever ive been in a management role, my main mantra was that I wanted to know my people well enough to be the manager each of them needed, not expect them to be...

That's the most frustrating thing for me. For all of the warts in our play (including Koi's punt return issues), I think we were in a position to win but for some unforced and bizarre coaching errors. Giving away the 3 points before half was huge and the red carpet to that field goal was laid...

That might be true. At the same time, id expect Koi to know better than to fair catch inside the five and try to field that ground ball even if he were also getting reps at long snapper, punter, right guard, and offensive coordinator. Speaking of which, pretty sure he would have been an upgrade...

Big F. Head scratching dumb decisions (trick play, RUTM in bad situations, three man rush too often and directly led to the FG going into the half)

The Vikings break my heart plenty over the years with their losses, but I dont find myself wondering "what the heck was KOC thinking there?" nearly as often i do with Fleck

Im not certain our DC has ever watched a football game before.

... it would be only marginally worse than the decision to go with that trick play earlier.

There is a lot of responsibility to go around, but offensive and defensive play calling have both been horrendous.

Im more confident in what Drake can do than what our OC can do.

Not if we dont do something stupid like give up a big gain on the first play while rushing only three.

Is this where we take three kneels to try to burn clock so we can kick a field goal without giving cal the ball back?

There is a range of reasonableness between gutless and reckless.

A bad unforced special teams mistake sets the offense up with bad field position. Gutless play calling on offense contributes to giving them good field position. Then porous defense let's them into the endzone way too easily. I think this is what they call complimentary football across all three...

Smart play by Koi. If he hadn't fair caught it inside the five, we were in danger of Cal downing it inside the five.

Is Foster's high point at UCLA going to be at the big ten media days when he accurately identified UCLA as being in Los Angeles?

They certainly seem to have fallen off since the era when they would run out the beefeaters for a seven o-lineman formation in short yardage and the crowd would go wild.

Ive always considered Washington a good comparison point. Big city, pro sports, not a historical dynasty (though some stretches if significant success)

From game to game, it seems like it can go either way. A team can build confidence with a good performance, but we have also seen teams have a piss poor performance and respond by being really dialed in next time they take the field.

cant we take some time to enjoy our championship in the Northwestern State championship season before we look ahead to the Cal Bears championship season?
