My lord throw a few f'ing screens then. We're a D1 football program and we can't figure out how to correct some blitzes? Listening to this presser reminds me a lot of Pitino. 1 game plan and we're sticking to that 1 game plan no matter what. If the other team beats us at the game plan we're toast.
Yup, the fact there were no screens got me too, it's a basic response.... seems like we could have hit them hard with those.
I agree. Someone, other than Fleck, is going to be "scapegoated".
But PJ sure looked fit and trim running onto the field and getting the penalty.
2019- SDSU Down in 3rd, Fresno down 3 times in 2nd half/OT, Georgia Southern down late. Tied with Auburn in second half.
How exactly do you only plan to have one guy the star and focus so much on him with the offense? Who wanted this Sanford? This coaching staff is horrendous and are way over their heads.
What kind of game plan is that you have to rely on a single person for the whole game!!!! Last year Bateman, This year Mo. Then CAB. So who is next. Where is that next man up thing. PJ your game plan sucks! People around you're not working as they should be. Getting paid millions of dollars for this 4 play and one person focus???? Also fifth and sixth year players can master only RUTM ??? No wonder the team lost to BG! It is BG for FFS!!!! Again I hope someone who is in his circle will tell him that his OC crew will be his downfall.
Stop and think for a moment about the teams you listed and their standing in the world of college football.
Say what you want, but your new job as a sports odd's maker in Vegas would be short lived, possibly with you ending up being knee capped!One scroll through your post history tells me different. You speak down to people as if you are better than them frequently. In fact, even the response above reeks of arrogance.
It's OK to be tough on a message board, if that is who you wanna be though.
PS Give me the Mavs -12 against Bowling all day long and twice on Sunday.
He may just be an old school coach who happens to be a high energy recruiter. As you said I am not sure a USC or ND are modern possibilities for someone who has never called plays.
It probably speaks to how anemic the team has been in the 3rd quarter. I would be interested to see the quarter scoring splits under Fleck. I suspect Q3 would be uuuugly.
Autman-Bell left after the first Gopher play from scrimmage. They literally had a full game to make adjustments.
Both times Morgan was absolutely flattened by a blitzer, our receivers were all running deep routes. Morgan must have learned in high school how to anticipate a blitz and signal to a receiver that he should change his route to a short one to the zone the blitzer had vacated. Even if Sanford doesn't know about this surefire method of defeating a blitz Morgan should be able to do it on his own.
I don't think he's given that freedom. That is why they don't snap the ball until the last possible moment most of the time. They are taking direction from the sideline (OC) for what to run. I'm guessing that deviating from that plan would get them benched.
Nice to see the heroic comebacks against top tier teams.
Yep, it makes no sense and really puts the coaching staff in bad light.
Newsflash for ya bro, most teams that are leading at halftime win the game. 17-17 would not be paltry. 0-17 is not good, but 6-11 wouldn’t be bad.
Was this the first time you've heard PJ say something publicly?
So, if you have two days to prepare to speak to the media and then you say this stuff out loud?? IDK this seems pretty revealing that PJ never had it or lost it…that explanation seems more clueless, more floundering, more embarrassing than his worst critic could make up.
Interesting concept in your final paragraph.
I had the same feeling watching his press conference last night. He knows now that he can't leave for a better job and next year will be tough but he eats difficult conversations for breakfast so he should be ok. I am a Fleck guy but I am just very frustrated with the trend we have seen this year watching a veteran team make mistakes and committ penalties etc.
