James Coley

[kmwcane]

If I was an OC and had Morris as the starter, there is no way in **** I would have him throwing the ball into or over the middle of the field. You don't have an interception prone, erratic QB throwing into the most trafficked area of the field. Furthermore, there were plenty of checkdown routes but Morris would only throw to them once a game.

It could very well turn out that I am completely wrong about Coley but I think he has promise. I think he was limited by poor QB play, losing Duke and horrid offensive line play due to Kehoe's ineptness (Kehoe needs to be fired). We will really get to see what Coley is made of in the next two upcoming years.

I do find it funny how people think Fisch had Morris playing well. Morris was the same old Morris last year. Morris has all the physical tools to be great and he ended last year on a four game hot streak against crappy teams which is why people talked up Morris. But if you watched his entire 2012 tape, you'd know there was zero chance Morris would be drafted in the first two rounds.

Two things hurt Coley this year.
1 Dukes injury was huge. Before the year started we all said if he got hurt this was going to be a very long season. Well after he got hurt this became a very long season.
2 Morris isn't his kind of QB. He is going to need a lot of help at the next level. He just wants to step back and throw as far as he can. How bad was that throw on the screen that we lost 19 yards on. Granted last night he didn't have much help last night from the Oline.

Lets give Coley a chance to get his guys in here and run his kind of O. I feel Williams is better for his system. He gets the ball out of his hands quickly and to the play makers to make the plays.

Funny how coley leaves and FSU realizes they have TEs...he comes here and they become virtually non-existent

He didn't call plays at FSU. Another red flag that was ignored when he got hired.

he didnt call plays but was responsible for the.offensive gameplan.

Is that a fact?

Just sounds like BS to prop up a guy that just held offensive meetings because Jimbo couldnt be everywhere. Why have a guy gameplan....but not call plays? Conversely, why would you want to call plays off of someone else's gameplan?

Jimbo runs the whole offensive show at FSU, Jimbo said coley helped with some game planning, but coley's job at FSU was to recruit

Yea. That's what I thought.

 

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

Though he didnt call a great game, morris played like crap and had no passion or energy

I dont like to speculate but i think coley made the play book simple for morris

Morris mentally isnt that great of a QB, physically he can play with the best of them, fisch's play calling last year covered his mental mistakes

Ill give coley a pass this year if its the same next year i will question the play calling

Yet somehow last year Fisch had him looking like a QB who would be drafted in the first 2 rounds. I agree that Morris was flat out awful this year but Coley is a fraud.

This.

Really? How did Morris look against good teams last year?

So we should be impressed that Coley was able to make Morris look equally awful against bad and good teams this year? At least Fisch managed to get something out of the two bad QBs he coached. Coley hasn't done jack **** as far as I am concerned.

 

[OBLIVION]

Had 29 days to put something together, and managed no points until the game was over.

I expected our defense to get gashed, but never thought our offense would be so ghost with this much time to prepare.

 

[Biscuits]

Nah, **** him too. Y'all are right.

I know everyone is mad but Coley has showed some very good flashes this year. He had some really inventive play designs and stretches of good play calling. Enough to give me hope that he gets it. Unlike the defensive coordinator that has been at Miami for three years and it is the same old ****. Coley was hurt by:

1. Morris
2. Losing Duke
3. Miami's defense putting the offense in bad spots
4. Poor OL coaching

I really think we will see what Coley is made of without Morris. Morris was really bad this year. He either could not or would not make progression reads and forced so many terrible passes. Makes it very hard on an offensive coordinator when you have such an unpredictable QB. I seriously wonder why they did not give Williams a look.

Losing your best offensive weapon in Duke hurts. Miami's terrible defense needs no explanation.

I've held my tongue a bit but can't any longer. I don't know how Art Kehoe is still coaching. He and D'Nofrio are the worst coaches on this staff. There is a reason that NO ONE hired him until Golden went and got him from his house. Great coaches don't sit around without a job like Kehoe did. People want to blame the zone blocking scheme but that isn't the issue. Zone blocking works amazingly when taught properly. Kehoe can't coach his unit up to perform. The OL should've been the strength of this team but instead it underperformed greatly.

That right there. Is where I quit reading.

/ First in on referring to both coordinators as Coley Ranch Doritos.

That is fine if you didn't read anymore. Coley did have some bright spots whether you want to acknowledge it or not.

Isn't that what a good coordinator does? Call plays to hide his players weakness. Neither of our coordinators have figured this out yet. I'm not excusing Morris's play last night, but our OL did not do him any favors.

Looking at the Stats Miami was:

47th out 123 in total offense 425.8 yards per game
34th out 123 in scoring offense 33.8 yards per game

so maybe it wasn't that bad of a year for coley

 

[Hurracanes]

Colely is a clown. His playbook is essentially:
WR screen
Stretch run
Deep ball

That is it. He's Patrick Nix 2.0.

Funny how coley leaves and FSU realizes they have TEs...he comes here and they become virtually non-existent

They were non existent here before he got here. Everything comes down to the QB on offense for me. Our QB sucks. I mean really sucks. It gets compounded by our ****ty O-line. Amazing amount of 3 & outs and that compounds our defensive weaknesses. Viscous cycle. Basically it seems we suck everywhere. I think I'm gonna be sick.

Coley started lining our TE's as wide outs. Can someone explain this logic?

For as much talent as we had on this offense, that's a bit disappointing to me. This offense should have been elite, but was average at best.

 

[terdferguson]

The jury is still out on Coley. There are some glaring problems on offense. Run blocking is atrocious. I mean really bad. We give up an astounding number of tackles for loss on running plays. It puts us in 2nd and 3rd and long far too often and kills drives. The passing attack avoids the middle of the field. And our screen game to the rbs is the worst. We chuck too many bombs. Their low % plays and when they don't hit we can get stuck in long yardage situations...time to punt again.

The offense in two straight seasons is yet to really perform well against a good defense. Coley has only been here for one of those seasons. Morris is the constant. So next year....we shall see.

Plus we racked up a lot of yards/points against Savannah State and played a pretty weak schedule overall.

You know, maybe this offense isn't as talented as everyone claims. People pointed to how the O-Line was supposes to be the strength of the team, and they were awful yesterday and are generally terrible in short yardage situations.

Running backs (other than Duke) are average at best. WRs are one dimensional. Clive Walford can be good, but lack consistency and his hampered by a QB that shouldn't be allowed to throw over the middle of the field.

 

[nycane]

duke got hurt and morris cant do anything right. i mean this kid is like a klutz qb. mentally way too slow to play the position.

 

[RiDLer80]

Coley's offense is extremely simplistic and unimaginative.

Completely ignores the middle of the field, TEs virtually non-existent, predictable play-calling, RBs not involved in the passing game at all.

There are high school offenses with better play-calling and more creative than Coley displayed this season.

If you are going to say that then you have to take that into account for all other teams that played weak teams like Savannah State when making comparisons.

Still, 33.8 points per game should be enough to win 99.9% of games.

Time to face the ugly reality that we have Temple's coach, Temple's DC, and FIU's OC. It's really that simple.
