All right….I’ve read 30 pages and I can’t take it anymore. Multiple things can be true at once and this board’s inability to understand nuance never ceases to amaze me. Here are my thoughts:

1) Mario has 100% injected his philosophy into this offense. To what degree, I’m not sure. I’m certain he’s heavily involved in the planning process, but I doubt he’s micromanaging Dawson as much as some of you claim.

2) Dawson has done a **** poor job of coaching up TVD. We got a D1 quarterback with NFL hype who doesn’t understand how to beat different zone defenses. He’s making mistakes a high school QB doesn’t make. As the QB coach, wtf has he done to help TVD improve since the GT game?

3) TVD is injured. And ya, he’s missing throws he used to make because of it. But the mental side of his game taking a giant **** is more startling. Emory may not have the arm of TVD, but I’m more concerned about whether or not he’s cerebral enough to be a game manager for the duration of the season.

4) We probably can’t run some of things you guys want anymore because we have zero confidence in our QB, which is sad. But, more importantly, teams are matching up against us differently than A&M did and we simply don’t have an answer.

5) I don’t care what side of the coin you fall on, but you should want to beat FSU’s *** on Saturday. If you don’t, **** you!

Well said. Certainly some disappointing trends for which there seems to be plenty of blame to go around.

Right now, a lot of what is important to the long-term future of the program is not happening on the field and Mario seems to be doing very well in that area. We are far, far behind programs like Alabama, LSU, OSU, etc. Mario knows what it’s supposed to look like and together with Rad is making the right changes and investments.

But ultimately he’s in charge of on field results and our preparation, coaching, and personnel. He seems to have some things in a pretty good spot right now, and others not so much. Hopefully it will all come together soon.

Hilarious the excuses people make for Lane's time at USC in this thread, but how quickly some you are to dismiss Mario's record at Oregon like it was a fluke. At least hide your agendas you weirdos :pgdead:

But **** these conversations never disappoint

If Dawson does leave go get Brennan Marion from unlv run that go go offense two running backs system fits Mario offensive style while still being a modern offense

UNLV actually looks good this year relative to their recent history. For a program that’s been really bad and gone through many coaches, the new guy is starting off well.

You're not really adding anything of substance to this conversation. You're merely repeating my statements in a sarcastic tone and not offering any original thought of your own. I guess this is your idea of engaging in a conversation, but it's really just juvenile as ****, yet you're accusing me of being a teenager on here.

That’s because your points aren’t worthy of conversation and need clarification. Gaining clarity of one’s point through questioning is called the Socratic method, sorry you see it as juvenile. The whole 2nd tier program, not knowing he was 8-5 last year, etc.

Overall your points don’t make sense and don’t contribute to the conversation. If the point is that Lane does more with less, the history of Ole Miss is irrelevant. The question is what does he do with the talent he has. Is Ole Miss talented? Was his preseason #1 USC team talented?
 
yes crippling hence why they only had 50 scholarship players at the end of his tenure. If you don’t know just say you don’t know.

The actual sanctions for the Trojans were a two-year postseason ban, the loss of 30 scholarships over three years and a maximum of 75 scholarship players for those three years. So they could only bring in 15 players per signing period. Juniors and seniors were free to transfer. 4 years on probation. It’s not that hard to be informed if you want to be.

Yet you took the time to respond to "irrelevant points" wasting both of our time.

In what world is the history of Ole Miss irrelevant when discussing LK doing more with less? Historically they are a bottom tier SEC program that hasn't achieved much and Lane has a chance to finish with 10 wins in 2 of the last 3 seasons, a feat that hasn't been achieved in 60 years of Ole Miss football. If you cannot see how that supports the premise of my original argument then that's you being wilfully obtuse. You haven't even presented any type of counter argument. Stop wasting time and learn how to effectively debate.
