My point is these feelings I'm expressing aren't hindsight thoughts. I cursed Fisch when Morris dropped back on 1st down, not when it went incomplete, and after the second down run cause I knew he would have to throw on 3rd. Then the next drive I applauded the 1st down carry, can't say for sure how I felt about the second down call, and then was like WTF!!!!! when he ran it on 3rd and 6. He is too concerned with trying to out smart a defense with the call instead of executing what we do best. He constantly tries to make the unexpected call regardless of how the team is performing.
Before anyone jumps on me about the UNC game. Morris actually completed a pass to Dorsett before he threw the helmet bounce screen int to Mike James. I'll be honest my main gripe with Fisch is he throws way too much on first down and doesn't appear to have a consistent plan of attack. His game plans differ greatly from game to game and I feel like it makes our offense less consistent. No one talks about him jumping into odd formations that may contribute to illegal formation/procedure and false starts. How much he runs may not be the issue as much as when he decides to do it. Trying to make a concise argument in response to random posts without looking back on the facts is not the way to go about winning a debate and of this I am guilty.
Either way I watched the games the last two seasons and I know that I spent a lot of time questioning what Fisch was trying to accomplish. If you sat next to me during a game you would find it way more difficult to disagree with me. When I have the facts I make more sense. While I didn't love Fisch I have expressed that I think losing him is more likely to hurt the offense than help it and also may affect our recruiting.
That being said I still feel like Jedd's style was not the best for this team. If we bring in the right guy the offense will be able to score quickly when needed, control the clock if we have to, and operate more efficiently. Whether you believe that or not is your own opinion.

Just seems like you're really nit-picking, or like you already made up your mind about Fisch before you looked at the facts of the game.
Again, we were averaging 7.5 yds per carry. I have no problem (either in hindsight or at the time) with his decision to run on 3rd and 6 when we have the lead and 4 minutes on the clock. Even if we don't make it, it's better than an incomplete pass, because it allows more time to run off the clock. It's a smart play call, period.
Fish's style was perfect for this team, IMO. Good god, Morris put up great numbers and Duke and James were beasts. The only thing holding us back was inexperience. Fisch's play calling was not a problem.

^ running the ball on 3rd and 6 (actually I thought it was 3rd and 7) with 4 minutes still on the clock was the worst call Fisch made all season. He put the game in the hands of our defense with that call, which was essentially waving the white flag. Our defense couldn't stop UVA when they only had 3 downs. What the **** did he think was going to happen when they had 4 downs to work with?
As I said just after that post or porst if that's how you feel. Throwing way too much on 1st down. Not having a bread and butter run style. Sometimes we sweep other times we delay, or I, or single back. Never with any clear purpose. Calls seem to come out of a hat just cause he thinks the defense they might be in has a weakness to it. These are my problems with Fisch.
For example, I felt like Fisch never set up the run to the edge, you do that by pounding inside and getting the ends to pinch and the LBs to step up crash the A's, over play the interior run. Then you bust em outside from a similar formation. I never got the impression he set plays up. He preferred to use his formation to create a weakness rather than the success of the previous play. He might set the pass up with the run but, it never seemed like he was playing within a formation to cause the D to fall into any habit for defending that particular set. I can't describe it any other way. I would be watching the game and think to myself alright bust inside two more times and they'll be ripe and then here comes a PA pass to the TE into coverage that wasn't there yet, a sweep to the short side, or a bubble screen that was well defended, or the worst of all some trick play that we have no business running til we are up 3 TDs or struggling.
I can't argue with the points we put up in most games, the D did cause us to lose most often. Still when I watch Fisch I don't like his style. I think the talent does a lot to make his offense look nice but, in the end he's left holding the bag for their shortcomings.

Pick six, thanks for the education. I did not know that.
I was unaware the system was all Al's doesn't change my opinion on Fisch but, does give me hope the next guy who steps in will be able to hit the ground running and the offense won't suffer.

Pretty sure Al....and Jedd developed a system that they felt would work best with our personnel
