Key veterans wanted Heaps

[dookie blaylock]

Remember when key veterans wanted Larry Coker as coach, yeah we won a ship that year, but how did the rest of the Coker era turn out after he had to recruit his own talent.

I can't fault the coaches if Kaaya beat Heaps out, but they coached like pure trash and that's the problem.

same with shannon. ended up being a built-in excuse for us to be cheap and hire him instead of finding a good coach.

So now that we know the result, everyone is complaining that we started a true freshman? I act surprised.

You could clearly see the frustration on the faces of Dorsett and Walford when Kaaya threw the pick intended for Dobard. He needs to sit. He's not ready.

**** you Golden

Walford should of have been frustrated each time Mauldin blew up Walford's sh*! - Mauldin was doing it all night... WR's also missed plenty of blocks too...

Crowder is actually a pretty bright guy.

This for real? The guy is dumb, was at a frat party where he threw a keg of the second balcony at someone.

Funny that the guy calling someone dumb can take one action someone does and now apply he is dumb. Just because you do something stupid does not mean you are stupid. If you are that simple minded you may want to focus on your on intelligence. I never said Channing isn't crazy, I said he is a pretty bright guy. I watch mostly every Dolphin game with the guy and have had conversations with him on mostly every topic out there. He is always telling stories of all the stupid things he did in college(10 years ago) and how he was an idiot then and how much he regrets it.

BS! I never wanted Feli...I mean Kaaya to start against Louisville. And IMO even if Folden and Coley had opened up the offense, It would not have mattered. You can't replicate game speed in practice! The game is way too fast and the picks would have come for sure.

So now that we know the result, everyone is complaining that we started a true freshman? I act surprised.

For the record, I flat out said the day he was named that I was "shocked" they had named him starter, that Heaps must have sucked, and that I was hoping for the best but was very concerned.

I NEVER expected them to throw a True Frosh into the fire like that. I mean if Heaps even had a PULSE he should have started that game.

And again, this is NO knock on Kaaya. I think Kaaya has a tremendous future here, but game one, on the road, at UL, was NOT the place to throw him into the fire like that.

 

[terdferguson]

Not news. We already knew this when we heard the players reactions to the announcement of Kaaya starting.

 

[2Focusd804]

Idk if it was on here or in the WEZ but I said previously that Veterans tend to want a Veteran of a rookie/freshman just b/c of the more experience = less mistakes (not always true but thats the belief). I probably wouldn't have started Kayaa just for it being a road game against a conference oponent. If we played a cupcake first it's a lot easier to throw a freshman into that. Plus the fact that its easier to go from Heaps to Kayaa than go from Kayaa to Heaps. Gotta stick with Kayaa now at least until Ryan Williams comes back. Good god if Williams coming off major surgery has to be our savior.

 

[OBLIVION]

Was never on the Kaaya bandwagon, but i am not against a true frosh starting our a RFR. Plenty of programs do it every year now days, and plenty have success.

It was obvious the other night he wasn't ready for that spot light and by the way Coley called plays. He should have never been named the starter. Coley has enough trouble with an older QB. Let alone tossing a kid fresh out of HS too the wolves.

It was costly choice, but at the time it was made. It was a fan favorite and a nut huggers dream.

 

[Jassid82]

I dont know how I feel about this but if they were going to go into that game with that gameplan, I would have rather they started Heaps. AND if this is the same gameplan we will be using against NEB, I dont want Kaaya out there.

 

[rkhill71]

**** Joe Montana would have lost with that play calling

 

[CANE4LIFE]

That's part of the problem, and why the criticism of the offensive playcalling is so brutal, and rightfully so.

Its obvious Coley coached scared because of Kaaya. But then why the **** would you start Kaaya if that is the kind of game you are going to call? It was just a boneheaded decision made worse by the way he called the game. If he had started Heaps, at least you have to let Heaps try to make plays. A 5th year senior doesn't need to be "babied" or coddled.

 

[The Franchise]

Teams lose faith and trust in a HC when they know he's full of ****. Al carried on before the game about how ready Kaaya was and how confident everyone was and how we were going to punish them with the pass if they stacked the box. Then, it was completely obvious none of that was true once the game started.

He's full of ****, and they know he speaks with a forked tongue. He puffed everyone up on how we were going to run a dangerous high octane offense with Kaaya, and then he turtled up like a fat pu$$y and made it impossible for the offense to succeed.

If you start a freshman over a 5th year guy, then you better run the full offense with him. If you don't, then all those playmakers on offense feel like you cheated them and sold them a box of diarrhea.

This. Plus, I don't buy the Kaaya wasn't ready line of thinking. I'm sure he was nervous. So go out there and call some easy passes and he'll calm down and settle into the game. Instead we call plays like we're scared to let him do anything. You know what message that sends Kaaya? I have no confidence in you. How in the world is he supposed to gain any confidence if the coaches are saying, I don't trust you?

This is exactly what I was thinking. Who gives a **** who they support? In every QB competition across the country, there is going to be some kind of division on the matter. Too ******* bad.

When it comes to blows is when the people making the decision show such intolerable ineptitude that it just ****es everyone off. I'm sure if the coaches said "hey guys, we are going to start Kaaya and call as many play options as Madden 93......" then I'm sure the backlash would have been heated.

 

[crossover22[]_[]]

No qb on our team would have won with that oline and play calling.

The first paragraph I dont agree with. Contrary to what is said on here..the only people who actually REALLY know what is going on is the players/coaches. Yeah Dmoney and a few other guys saw a few practices but these players know whats up. Maybe they knew that if Kaaya was going to be the QB that they were going to shrink the playbook. These players know what Kaaya can and cant do. Im not saying Heaps would have been any better and im definitely not blaming Kaaya, but i will be damned to play out the rest of the season with the playbook we used on Monday night just because we want to see Kaaya play. If thats the case, then f it, go with Heaps/Williams and see whats up..

And players having the support of the QB is a pretty big deal if you ask me. If they know the kids not ready.....and the coach sticks him out there anyway.......

 

[Canesfan1899]

Of course they wanted Heaps. The day you announce your starting a true frosh we almost guaranteed a loss to Louisville. These guys here for there last season don't want a true frosh as the qb.

Bull****, we lost to Louisville because our coaches called plays scared and didn't let the true freshman run the ****ing offense.

Sorry but we lost because we are starting a true frosh at qb. Golden isn't a good enough coach nor has a built a good enough team to overcome playing a true freshman in game 1 on the road against a decent program. Even if he runs the offense he still probably makes to many mistakes to win the game. Trust me I'm not making an excuse for Foldens fat *** because we shouldn't be in this spot in the first place.

So what you're saying is game plan had nothing to do with it?

This is all that needs to be said.

With the mistakes golden makes, you would think he's a first year head coach.

 

[canesrdynamite]

Heaps seems like a nice enough dude, but he's not the answer at qb. He's not Brock Berlin, and sure as **** not Russell Wilson. If the 5th year guy is not way better than a true freshman, and neither of them know the system, then you go with the young guy. Makes sense to me.
