-He has surrounded himself with horrible coaches

-He's an average gameday coach at best (and that's me being very, very, very polite)

-His decision to start a true freshman on the road against Louisville on primetime is very questionable. Kaaya has physical tools, and I have no doubt that he's a "better quarterback" than Jake Heaps. That does not mean in this game that he gives the team a better chance to win than Jake Heaps does. The stage, right now, is too big for Brad Kaaya. We start with FAMU or Arkansas State, or even if the Louisville game was in Miami, you can start Kaaya. This game? Kaaya is clearly not ready. It's evident from his play, and it's evident from Coley's playcalling. If you're going to baby him with your playcalling, you don't start him. It's that simple.

-The personnel decisions were atrocious. Crawford over Carter? Fentress over anyone, unless we're up or down 40? Duke coming out on 3rd and 1 in a close game? Unless you're dead, you tell his *** to stay in the ******* game. This wasn't after 10 straight carries or a 50 yard run. Not playing Waters until the game was over? Not playing AQM at all? If he's suspended, be a man and come out and say it.

-Once again, Louisville (and every team we play) is more amped up, shows more emotion than we do. We weren't embarrassed the way we were last year, but other than a few guys, on a few plays, we just looked like a normal team in a normal game. I won't say we were flat, but we did not match their intensity.

-The "mind games" and "psychology ****" is getting old. Stop it. No one is buying it, not the players, not the fans, not the media (outside of Zagacki, Beast and Bailey, Jr.). If AQM is suspended, be a man and say it. Don't just not play your best pass rusher. You're not ******* Bellicheck, stop with the no depth charts, and no info crap. Man up, d-bag. You suspend someone, tell us.

-Win a ******* game instead of a ******* slogan. Enough with this crap. The fans are done with it. We don't give a **** about "renewed" or whatever the **** it is now. We want wins. A lot of us were done with this crap last year, and some the year before. You're a ******* used car salesman, and a bad one at that.

-Unfortunately, I have a feeling it's not going to take a lot to lose this team. We'll beat FAMU, and we should beat Arkansas State, but they are one of the better Sun Belt, small FBS teams, and if our offense is still a pile of ****, they can come in and do what Louisiana-Monroe has done to Arkansas and Alabama (Nick Saban led Alabama). We'll lose to Nebraska and probably at least one of UNC/Duke/GT. Obviously we're losing to FSU and VT, so we're looking at 6-6 or 7-5 this year. This could get ugly. I don't think Blake James has the balls to get rid of Golden, which is a shame, but this could be Randy 2010 bad (which, if you remember, wasn't horrible record wise).

-Crowds are going to be pathetic. Next week might be decent because it's the home opener and FAMU will probably bring 15,000 fans, but it still won't top 40-45,000. Arkansas State won't top 25,000 (actual fans, they'll announce 45,000 since they sold 31K season tickets, and they count hotdog vendors). If we lose to Nebraska, we won't get more than 20K actual fans for Duke. It'll be Randy in 2010 vs South Florida bad.

-Golden's only hope is that he keeps the recruiting class together and that he can win on talent alone, like Coker did from '01-'03, though we don't and won't have that much talent.

we suck. everyone knows it. Not to much to defend these days. James Coley's "coaching" and "play calling" tonight made me yearn for the days of Larry Coker. We haven't improved AT ALL since he took over. Just straight trash. The U will never be back to what it was, its a shame.
 
I defended him all last season and offseason but at this point it's becoming the same crap game after game. All he has done to impress me is recruit and navigate the scandal pretty well. But I'm sick of moral **** victories. If we don't win the **** coastal (probably not going to happen) his *** needs to be fired. And I may be negged to death for this, but Cristobal needs to be his replacement. He would inject a Saban mentality into this team and he is only the one who can keep these two recruiting classes together.
 
There is NO defense.

The entire failure tonight began and ended with starting Kaaya. As you said, this was not the game to throw him into the fire. And the ULTIMATE indictment of the staff, was how Coley called the game. Scared and pathetic playcalling. If THAT is what you were going to do, then why the **** start Kaaya? This was **** poor.

And Kehoe needs to be gone tommorow. The OL is a ******* embarassment.
 
Cristobal burned bridges with the way he douched his way out to Bama. He's not coming back.

I think I am now officially a member of the "**** al golden" squad.

Tonight was an embarrassment.

I take it you're not too impress with his 8 pillars to success.
 
I don't think we should throw the towel in just yet. At the same time, those who dump all our problems on No Duke and more on Morris. One 3rd down conversion in 2 games against UL. That's worst than Golden's record against teams with winning records. Like these high school guys are very comfortable in the shot gun, they are stuffing the box, why not spread them out with our 125 WRs.....and Duke. I'm not even real mad. Be cause only Don Bailey Jr disciples expected us to beat Louisville in Louisville with a 13 week true Fr on the road. Dorito defense was better but I'm waiting until we play at least 6 games to see if we have really turned the corner. UL QB is a first time starter like Kaaya with a bit more experience.

I agree with Fentress, WTFFF!!!! are you doing? He has a cute story in the fact that he's a walk-on, but that's where it starts and stops. He has no business being in the game. Another thing I noticed was that McCord which is a stud pass rusher was dropping back into coverage all night while Armbrister and Kirby where rushing.

Another thought I just had is the fact that Golden's baby is special teams. Yet they gave up that 98 yard return.
 
Look at you chicken littles. Tough look. Road game with true freshman qb vs a good team. Louisville is good. O line had some trouble, play calling was questionable. Can't win without executing third down. We had to run to win and we couldn't/ wouldn't but i don't see doom and gloom. Nebraska will be a good tet after we've had some film and a few weeks to get everything dialed In.

Defense looked decent. Just pooped out late.

So you think Fentress and Regula had business being in there? Having our corners playing 10 yards off with these soft coverages? Not taking any deep shots down the field? Come on man, I'm the first one to look past our deficiencies and sip on the Kool-Aid, but enough is enough already.

preach. don't get why we recruit so many receivers and tightends if we don't even use them. it's really mind numbing.
