The most frustrating part

[AUcane]

I’ve been bashing Couch for years. Most people were slobbing on his **** because he picked off Temple twice. Cool make those plays against a FSU and Louisville type team. The Manny boys have been a huge issue and will continue to be. I’d just cut them all loose to be honest. You can’t change stupid.

You all bashing couch, but don’t realize that Mario is actually playing him which means he doesn’t think there’s anybody behind them. That’s good enough. How is that for Mr. talent accumulator?

 

[canetomm]

Is this team is actually pretty **** good but coaching continues to lose us games. Two years in a row of no discipline, conservative , predictable play calling.

Now go watch Brohm put pressure on all three levels of the defense and keep Guidry / players off balance. Yet we run into the teeth of the defense selling out on every third / fourth and short. Mario cares more about an attitude and making a point instead of scoring or getting a first down.

Fact is the evidence is starting to pile up that Mario is a stubborn , hard headed former OL that refuses to adapt or think out the box. We’re now reaching the insanity level of trying the same **** at nauseam and expecting different results.

The end of the half and the end of the game is Mario and his team in a nut shell. Third and a long two we run right into the D selling out because they know how predictable we are. They then drive down field and steal a td , taking the momentum in the half. I knew then we were f’d. To end the game we blow a timeout inside the five knowing we needed it desperately if we didn’t score. We proceed to pass three times when we should’ve tried runs. Just like we run when we should pass on third and two.

The last two nails in the coffin was as bad of personal fouls as you could get. Right in front of the ref in the final seconds. No discipline.

Mario **** near flipped the roster yet we still are an idiotic team. All of this looks horrible on him. He coaches to extend games rather than trying to win them.

Lastly could our army of clueless media ask him about his “ self scouting “? Because Hellen Keller knows what we’re doing on third and two.

So true. Jeff Brohm with our talent and we are flirting with the playoff.

our DC stayed in man and Louisville ran rub and mesh concepts. That’s why our players were a step behind.

So, basically, it was Dawson’s fault. And Mario mismanaged his timeouts.

 

[canefan96]

The same exact same thing happened with Gattis. After they talked TVD threw for five bills against Unc. You’d think Mario learned something last year , oops.

He most likely forgot ……… similar to Forrest Gump.

Idk if you know this but Mario is a ******* idiot

 

[Angry Ibis]

Imagine wanting to be a program from 2011 - over 10 years ago.

You realize CFB has changed since then right?

Specifically including THAT program..

 

[mcnaire2004]

Bro none of y’all know what you’re complaining about at this point. What the **** do you think is the point of an offensive coordinator if not to be the hit responsible for creating and good play calling. Lol. Again Mario is not running his scheme, and he’s not the one lacking creativity.

Us running a spread without creativity is not Mario’s fingerprints lol.

What is the point of a head coach if not to be the guy responsible for what the coordinators or team does?

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

Just to make it more fun, we somehow don’t pound the rock that last series on the 3 yard line when we should’ve.

Idk. 6 to one, half Dozen to another. Our last 4 runs of the game went for

-1, -1, -4, 1

 

[Cane6]

The average fam doesn’t understand route concepts and creativity with the route concepts. Just like UGA running a slant earlier in the game inside the red zone then scoring off a slant go later. They set the play up and the db bit. Or moving Bowers around and finding mismatches or using him as a decoy. Same with Bama. Bama was throwing it around the yard the last five years but scrapped that to match the running / athletic qb after a few weeks of him struggling. It’s much more than talent.

It’s soooo apparent Mario/Dawson don’t see it that way

 

[MiamisMoperiestMopes]

So we will just ignore the dumb mental mistakes by the manny guys

They are Mario’s players. He’s playing them over his hand picked players.

 

[linearignition]

that's the unfortunate part of this season, this program is better in a lot of ways, many rooms have been improved. Miami/Cristobal left wins on the table

I really hope/pray/beg that Mario will evolve as a football coach

Jusr curious - Have you got a feel from any of your contacts close to the program that he is aware of these issues? Or is he full steam ahead on his approach regardless?

Honestly, have not tried to really find out much, as its during the season. I'll ask around a bit. But you know this staff keeps things closer to their vest than the peak of the KGB....

At this point they have to understand how predictable they are. I just imagine they are screaming "execution" in their meetings and on the sidelines instead of making changes to the approach and building a schematic advantage through game calling as you are describing. It's amazing to see from professionals at this level.

Putting the important things first as usual. Like being petty towards local media, super tight security so @AlexCane and his workout bros can’t ruck up ramps, and locking down info.

**** making sure his OC meets with the starting Qb to ensure they are working/meshing (2 years in a row) or just overall game management.

Priorities, bro

 

[passitback]

In the OT games, Andy had to hit FG's in the last 2 minutes to tie. In both, we were actually were losing in OT.

Could this be our worst 7 game stretch in recent memory?

Great question, as I was pondering the thought myself. Great minds think alike, lol.

100% agree, his game mgmt has really been exposed starting with GT fiasco,Clemson game TO's in hand decent field position
runs out the clock for OT ? late comedy continued yesterday with last red zone effort, you want to score , save your TO's and run clock ,and the TO before 4th down ! wow......Mario needs an intervention on some of his HC shortcomings

 

[bdcane4eva]

Thread delivering like a mfer...
Hoping gogeta keeps throwin hands...

 

[gogeta4]

Very every coach the last 20 years like. Except worse.

If you told me before the game that we'd score 31 points, I'd say "easy win".

I dont know about that...Louisville has routinely put up 30+

Nailed it.

I couldn't believe our final drive of the first half, lost the game right there.

Unless Mario understands he's a big part of the problem, he will not succeed here.
