What makes you so sure we're beating Howard?
Honestly nothing. Do they so appears on those games? I’ll roll the grand into that one I just won with Schiano taking another L.

I’d fire Schiano just before the last game. Make him eat these losses. He earned them. Meanwhile Keli can put out feelers through back channels.

Omg have they mauled duff w out calling it

That last interception was into three people to a first time receiver.

What is Casey calling? It’s either a handoff to Raymond or passed Duff that should be the entire fourth quarter if you lose with that it’s OK losing throwing from a first time quarterback to a first time receiver is absurd as was all of the inside of 20 possessions that Casey engineered

Please don’t talk to me that the office has gotten better under him. It had Menon guy, Raymond Sheffield, Duff, strong and a an nfl qlqb

kc held back all the talent. We had an offense before and absolutely killed this game today.
Does what Schiano wants. That’s why he’s here.

Remember when BTN was on campus, and there was that one throw in the clip where he was flat footed?
There’s no way it was a close race. Greg isn’t being honest. It was obvious at the beginning of the game today, Greg and Kirk had a lot less confidence in AJ. We threw very few passes until we absolutely had to in attempting to come from behind late. The early game plan reminded me of what Kirk called with GW except Gavin at least could run.

The thing is BC is not going to be good. We really might not win any games ceot Howard. And even that one is not a guarantee.

Greg's career record is 99-110. He is the only active coach with a hundred losses and a losing record.
Hope Howard beats him and he’s fired with a losing record never getting that 100th win. He doesn’t deserve it

We should have won this game by 14 without him. As bad as AJ’s int’s were. They were brought on by horrible playcalling all game long. Put the kid in a position to succeed. Rather than spotting the opponent a lead. Simple throws were there all day.

He wasn’t good. Calmed down and threw a couple nice balls late but a good number of his completions were not good passes and have too much hang time preventing yard after catch opportunities. It was his first game though so hopefully he’ll improve.

That said - we should won simply by not going for it on 4th down our first possession deep in our own territory. Combine that with the oppoftunities that we passed up to kick FGs and there you have it. Awful decisions.

Also maybe we should consider kicking some freaking field goals
Of course we should. Or at least, if we’re not planning to kick a FG anyway we shouldn’t be looking to run the damn football on 3rd and 4th down in the red zone. Why are we worried about a turnover in the air but we don’t seem to mind the turnovers on downs? The one at the beginning of the game was awful.

Guys- the RBs and WRs gave the ball back to the refs perfectly after every play they finished it with. That’s called chopping!

First major question. Why at the start of the game knowing how bad you played week one on defense -do you for it on fourth down on your own 30. We handed them a 7 point lead. And wouldn’t you know it, we lose by 7.

And don’t forget that we were fresh off a game where we rushed for like 1 ypc. No reason at all to go for it there.

There was bad decision after bad decision made by Schiano. BCU is terrible. Any real coach with our sad talent would have still won.

Fools gold. Miami was completely depleted. Get them in weather and it’s even easier.

The alarm bells went off when KSU embarrassed the Schiano coached D. It really gained steam when he couldn’t hire a competent DC and was compounded lthis past Spring. Game passed him by. Excuses were made but it was always very obvious. Guy can’t coach. It’s even more in focus when you consider this is the product he puts out when all he has to do is coach with Keli handling NIL.

Schiano coaching less is actually a better thing. He’s done. Only question now is when he’s fired. After IU makes the most sense. Knowing Keli, wouldn’t shock me if it was earlier after today’s embarrassment

Does what Schiano wants. That’s why he’s here.
Dont agree at all

GS going for it on 4th and being aggressive. Thats not KC's bag.

GS has tried Gleeson and now a lower level DC. Those are not close to the vest moves. All of KC's are not to lose but not to win moves.

KC dictating the plays-perhaps within philosophy but choosing not to pass to Duff was KC.

Wiating while down 2 scores till less than 10 seconds before each play is all KC. I think KC has a long leash and what we see here is what he did at Minn and pSU

It was Ibrahim and Monangai that bailed him out and made him look successful. Take those two away and his results are different.

Allison out and D came to life without lanes open. Neede a new OC who can focus on Duff/Raymond this year. Nothing com plex is happening so you can make th switch.

Because he desperate, knowing how bad thr defense is that he’d need to keep the ball and score a lot of points.

Both for HC and other coaches it would have to be someone on the staff bc no outside coach will leave a team mid-season

HCs make those calls not the OC. Hiring Gleeson was all he could get. No one wants to work for the guy. He has a terrible reputation in the coaching world.

Think Gleeson was a choice to be innovative. Didn't "mesh".

The repetition of a position doesnt make it so without more data.

Yes agree no oc mid season is coming but we are not seeing complexity on O that couldnt be conjured up by many many football people with limited oc experience.

How long before The Grifter fires KC to deflect blame again and buy even more time ? Either he will do that or start Ashenfelder to reset & extend. If there’s one thing he’s good at it’s orchestrating job security and saving himself.
