I said a few weeks ago that it feels as if Mario cares more about winning with the identity he wanted versus out scheming teams and scoring points . He wants to beat you up physically over being creative or being a move ahead of the defense. Which is the opposite of playing offensive football. Competent coaches want to use their tendencies against you , we actually use our tendencies against ourselves.

The sad thing about all of this is the team is good enough to win the ACC and make a run if healthy. But coaching is the biggest issue . And it’s not all on Dawson and Mario. Our DC does some boneheaded stuff too. Third and three and we’re playing ten yards off. Unlike our coaches opponents jump all over dumb stuff like that. Lastly the officiating wasn’t great but we lost this game more than the refs screwed us. Being undisciplined , sloppy and out coached will always bite ya against inferior teams . Btw that’s another loss as a huge favorite for Mario. It’s amazing how he keeps doing this.

Another wasted season and even worse a waste of money

There is no such thing as "identity" in sports. Leaving aside sports where you're playing a round robin, or a two-legged format, you coach to win the game you're in.

Every game is separate and it has to be. Coaches need to dispense with "identity."

Our only identity is finding a way to lose, and then inventing new ones, no matter who's in charge.

Stubborn and stupid is a bad combination for a HC

We need talented coordinators and we need for Mario to get his hands off them

Also, what are we doing during the week? Do we not hold players accountable for their mistakes? Well coached teams get better as the season progresses like a student learns during the semester. We are getting worse.

Yep.
Mario calls every offensive play like it’s a body blow. And he’s setting up for the knockout punch in the 4th.
So a ton of plays run aren’t intended to actually score points. They are intended to set up the scoring plays further down the road.

The problem with that is you wake up and the 4th quarter is over and you’re going into overtime because you’ve only scored 20 points.

It’s an insane offensive philosophy.

I believe identity and all programs should have one but it doesn’t mean doing the same insanity over and over . You can have a physical identity while still having creativity. Some of Sabans teams at bama under Sarkisian had tons of creativity and next level route concepts.

Thats only something a fan of a team with a fake/bad/fake+bad identity says

I said this 4 years ago…everyone’s late to the party I guess. A Heisman finalist at qb is our only hope. Cristobal is a poor mans Kirk Ferentz at best

The worst is the tempo of the offensive possession... every play is down to last 5 sec of the play clock
 
Definitely stubborn ego

He’s so **** bent on having this run game that’s 1940s football it shoots you in the foot and behind the sticks. It gets amplified when your 2&8 and your false starting at least once every drive.

Louisville and even SMU are trying to create opportunities for playmakers to you know make plays. We are trying to run the ball up the A game to show we can.

Also L-O-L and jojo making an impact in his first game back… granted that INT on a ball he should a caught hurt looking st the final score
