Wouldn’t you then just not respond?

The "grades" given here are highly subjective.
Me, personally, I would never give an "A" when the team loses. Just on principle.
I voted C. there were good points, and bad points. C is in the middle of the scale, and that's where I felt the coaches (all of them) belonged today.
To be honest, I might have said B, but that last series on offense just ticked me off. There is literally nothing to lose in that situation. That's when you pull out the stops, try a trick play, or just try something to score before the end of the game. Walking off the field after scoring a touchdown is better than walking off the field after running up the middle and letting the clock run out. All of the people who joke about "participation trophies," - that's what that last series felt like to me. The Gopher coaches awarded their own team a participation trophy. I want them trying to score until the final gun - no matter the situation. Just my opinion. That does not mean I hate Fleck, hate the Gophers, or hate Mom's apple pie. (my Mom makes a great bleepin' pie - especially her rum pie at Christmas.)

C Coaches need to be better as to the play calling (or quicker I should say) so you don't have to burn time outs. Use them when you really need them. Didn't feel it was necessary to do the long bomb as often as we did. Sure it mixes it up, but it seems to create problems for us. Felt that the tight end should have been used more often.
Despite that I felt it was an entertaining game and much improvement by the team as a whole. Should give us more confident yet going to Nebraska. Also hoping that the fans are on board as well. Much whinning, gripping coming into this game. Team showed up even though some of the fans didn't as you could clearly tell by the posts.
Speaking of posts. I'm surprised of some of the B's despite all the criticizing during the game. Not sure why a B when someone criticizes every moved.
Criticizes staff, awards C, attacks others for criticism.

Let's be honest about something. If you took anyone on this board - I mean anyone - and stuck us on the sideline in the middle of a game, and said "you make the call - what do we do next?" - I submit that anyone on this board, put in that situation, would sh*t their pants. Then throw up. Then sh*t their pants again.
We're fans. we complain and second-guess, because that's what most fans do. We always know the right answer. That's part of the fun of watching a game - trying to figure out what you would do in that situation - but it's fun because it doesn't count. there are no consequences.
As I said, if any of us had to make that call for real, it would be a whole lot harder than it seems from your vantage point in the stands or on the couch.
And that's the facts, jack.
