Tells you we simply are a bad team.
1. Poorly prepared
2. Poorly coached
3. Not alert to basic football principles

If Ga Tech has to throw more than twice, they usually lose. Well they threw 4 passes and connected on three.

Our receivers other than JT4, seem to be stuck in the mud. I will say that NP5 appears to be a gamer. Nonetheless, we are a very poor team.

I froze my @## off in the ATL for this putrid performance. It’s not totally on the Corches. The players own 75-80 percent of this dumpster f##%.

It is simply painful.

This is all true. I can tell you with 100% certainty coaching is the primary reason we are in such a funk. I know many will say the coached don't fumble, muff punts or move before snap. That's true only to a certain extent. By that I mean:

  1. Good OL coaches teach discipline, concentration and technique. They are prepared to know how to recognize and pickup DL stunts, A Gap blitzes, how to squeeze down and more importantly to know their blocking assignments. These kids have not been taught to pull or wall off. They come off flat and stay flat allowing the DLinemen to easily disengage left or right and any pursuit to flow without obstruction.
  2. We know poor special teams coaching not debatable! The one thing all ST coaches focus, emphasize and teach to punt returners is to be back far enough so you can come up to more easily catch the ball. IF THE BALL IS OVER YOUR HEAD OR CAUSES YOU TO TURN YOUR SHOULDERS...GET AWAY FROM IT!
 
When our coaches are doing an absolute terrible job, what you get is stuff that makes it seem as if the players are the problem. Don't lose focus. The ***** ups by the players are nothing more than the end rest of ****tie coaching. As a lifelong Canes fan and an AU grad (my second favorite team), I know exactly what I'm looking at.

I agree, however the games are not played on paper. The game is played on the gridiron. Many of our players appear to have lost their fire. You can’t see it on tv, only at the stadium can you see the body language of the players.

Are the players playing up to their fullest capabilities? Probably not. They can play better, but why would you put in the effort for this abomination of a coaching staff when the season is basically over? It's not fair the defense has to continuously bail out the combination of an ancient, ineffective (to put it lightly) offense combined with undoubtedly the worst special teams unit in all of P5. Why should wide receivers try to create separation if the defense knows exactly what routes are being run coupled with the fact that our offensive line won't give the quarterback more than 3 seconds of time in the pocket? And when Malik was QB, why try and get open if EVEN WITH TIME, the Quarterback can't properly hit you in the numbers?

I know I know you should always give your best effort blah blah blah, but in today's age, kids give up all the time when there's no goal in sight. Pitt had already basically clinched the coastal and the season was lost when Richt yanked 'Kosi against UVA. It all falls back on the coaching staff not properly managing the team, the inability to coach up talent and teach proper technique, and playing upperclassmen over your more talented underclassmen just because. Now Richt is going to hear it from the BOT, AD, and especially fans. No father wants to hear their son repeatedly attacked on social media and message boards, but he brought that on himself for making a lazy and ineffective hire. No coach wants to admit he sucks at calling plays, but the proof is literally on the scoreboard. If you can't score 28+ continuously in today's game, you don't deserve to be a Top 15 team.

You make valid points, nonetheless players must quit showing all the bravado if they plan on tanking.

False bravado equals losing.

I'm proud of Perry in the end. If ANYBODY had EVERY reason to give up, it was him. Being benched only to signal in plays to a quarterback making equally bad or worse mistakes as a 5th year senior without reprocusion. It's safe to say Perry will hold the reigns going into the off season.

Absolutely agree...even with all his maturity issues, props to him for sticking with it even when the dumba$$ running this football team benched him for 12

DJ's fumble, JT4bungle, and Willis's off side penalty were killers. Wasn't scheme or play calling.

All of those things can be prevented with coaching, and all are classic signs of ****** coaching.

The game is about discipline, effort, and execution. There are too many turnovers and too many penalties. Especially on the offensive line. I'm done with this senior class of offensive lineman. No senior leadership. These are the guys comitting the most penalties which is killing our drives. Add in the 3 turnovers and we are wasting 5 - 8 drives per game simply because we can't focus and execute.

The bottom line is we are beating ourselves. I'd rather see the young lineman play at this point. Play the guys that are hungry and want to get after it. At least they have time to grow and learn from mistakes.

It’s totally on Mork. It’s his 3rd season. They’re mostly his players. The lack of discipline is his responsibility.

Yeah true, but if you were at that game, that ought to scare you a bit.
