Terrifying Numbers On James Coley

[Gatorhater]

Jimbo is laughing his *** off.

Jimbo tried to keep him, probably because of recruiting, so he might not have known how bad he is. Can't fault Al for hiring what was supposed to be big time recruiter and giving him last year as a pass, but now dude has to go. Problem is Al doesn't seem capable of admitting he makes mistakes--that is why he doesn't fire coaches, not loyalty, it is pure pride.

Coley is an FSU sleeper cell. dammit mane

Corch Coley sucks .No doubt. But this is another case of everyone looking like **** when your HC is a toilet.

I don't know who was responsible for the philosophy that we went into the UL game with where we set our offense up for failure by running into down hill charging 9 man fronts on first and second and trying to throw a very basic PA roll out game on 3rd and long with a freshmans QB, but I'm guessing that sissy approach was dictated by the same sissy HC who had that same timid approach to every other aspect of the game.

Say what you will about Corch Coley, but he doesn't come off as a guy with a soft timid approach to the game. When your HC philosophy and approach to the game is what ours is it is impossible for coordinators, or anyone else for that matter, to flourish at their highest level.

Blaming coordinators and position corches 4 years in is lame.

Al is definitely the Head Corch and he has proven that he sucks and has to go, but Corch Coley was calling the plays.

There's s difference between plays called during the game and the philosophy you go into the game with. If you go in with the philosophy of let's run the ball on early downs and try to hit an occasional pass and sneak out with a 20-17 win, then your play caller will be handcuffed by the philosophy. Typically, an OC can't go into a game with his own philosophy and no direction from the HC. The HC philosophy and approach to the game dictates everything.

A scared timid HC with a freshmans QB will go into a game trying to "protect" him, but in actuality, he's doing the exact opposite by making everything so predictable and allowing the defense to pin it's ears back and tee off on your QB. Al did say in an interview before the game that he spends most of his time working with the offense and special teams.

I would say missing Duke Johnson for 5 of those games made a difference. However, Monday night he had everyone to work with and it made no difference. In my opinion, Coley is far worse than Coach D. No, I don't like the scheme, but with the right talent his defences look at least respectable. The D is still behind the O in terms of talent, but which side looked better Monday night? I'll go on record and say the 336 yards we allowed Louisville will be their lowest output of the season.

Now, Coley was hired to help build the talent level up here, and he is doing that. I don't believe for a second he's in the picture for the long run, unless he's good with a demotion.

Shimbo did try to keep him, but he never agreed to let him call plays .

 

[Pennmed Canefan]

Corch Coley is on Nix's level as a play caller, but he is an awesome recruiter. I would love to find a way to keep him and leverage his strength while relieving him of his play calling duties.

I'm willing to give him TEs, he can't hurt us there.

Running back coach. Best place to hide a recruiter.

That's how many third down conversions our offense has over the last 6 games. We are averaging less than 3 third down conversion PER GAME over the last 6 games.

4-12
3-12
5-15
4-11
0-11
1-13

We currently sit at 7.69% on the year which is good for second to last in the country (one spot ahead of FIU). However, we are trending at 22.9% over our last six games (17-74) which puts us on track to be in the 110th spot for the season.

By the way, there were three teams that had 14 third down conversions in their first game last weekend.

Hiring the right coordinators is a major prerequisite to being a successful college coach. Golden's whiffed about as hard as you can with his two guys.

I said it last year and I will say it again, for as much as I did not like the defense, I hated the offense enough more. How in the **** does this guy not utilize the talent we have on offense. We had none on Defense but offense was a different story.

 

[unionandsixth]

Peter principle in play here. A great recruiter (and Coley is a great recruiter) does not a tactician make. Coley has been promoted to the level of his incompetence. This is a textbook case.

 

[canecountry3]

I think coley should be fired or demoted immediately. Don't care what effect it will have on 2015 and 2016 recruiting classes.

That was the worst play calling I've seen since Nix. Unexcuseable.

 

[OBLIVION]

While the defense was getting shredded for 500 threads a week last season. I tried telling you guys that the offense was just as bad. Guys were trying to give him a pass and towards the end of the year. SteMo was the sacrificial lamb for Corch Coley.

Just like on the defensive side of the ball. Coaches around the country step in year one all the time and have success. Along with having an identity.

Only thing that will fix our issues now. Is the hope that Golden continues on and remains dumb to the coaching game. We need a new staff top to bottom.

Corch Coley is on Nix's level as a play caller, but he is an awesome recruiter. I would love to find a way to keep him and leverage his strength while relieving him of his play calling duties.

There's no way he's moving back into an Assistant QB/Recruiting Coordinator role at UM. Guy really needed to cut his teeth calling plays at a mid-major. Patrick Nix, who I used to destroy because of his concepts, had a more cohesive plan than what we've currently seen. This isn't a reaction to Louisville. Been saying this since last season. Guy has consistently been a step behind.

A step behind is being charitable. I have never seen this level of ineptitude from a play caller. We were consistently playing against 8 and 9 men in the box with a true freshman QB and weapons all over the field on Monday night and he kept calling horizontal plays that fed right into what Louisville was trying to do on defense. If Corch Coley had any character, he would demote himself.

Yep. But, I mean even last year when people were saying "we had enough points," Coley was simply a step behind the defense. My understanding, 3rd hand info, is that Louisville's staff was not surprised by a single thing we did. Not even one thing. That's impressive. It's the first game of the year. You'd expect a wrinkle somewhere. I believe it, though. Based on plays I charted and remembered from last year, Coley literally ran some of the exact same plays. Good times.

 

[NY Shyne]

I support the young men on the team, but I want everything possible to happen that gets this staff fired as quick as possible.

I said this **** last season and got crazy-negged for it because we were "explosive", and I was just being negative and a hater. Even backed up my claims with several metric measures that CoRley was just as bad for the O as NoDFrio is for the D.

It all starts with having a gameplan for getting 10 yards in 3 downs. That's the first goal of every ******* drive. Pricko Suave has no idea how to do that--he doesn't design a set of plays to get first downs--he's scared to death, and is hoping that someone can make a great individual effort on any given play to bail our asses out. The plays you call MUST complement each other--one thing happening on a successful play has to set up another. #SimpleDale has no clue how that works. The design and structure of his plays might work well in theory on a greaseboard, but they look like absolute fecal matter on the field.

We'll look good against FAMU, and the apologist wing will point to that and say all is well. We'll probably eke out a 1 or 2 TD victory against Arky State, and some delusional folks will be yelling "WE BACK". ****...******* Pelini is such an awful coach, we may go into Lincoln and sign his marching papers by being the less sucky team that day. Even if all of that works out in our favor somehow by the grace of Jeebus...just pay attention to the playcalling. Watch how disjointed it is. Watch the design of the plays, and how our guys just look like absolute **** trying to run these plays, look slow and inept. That's now how it's supposed to be, folks.

Ya know, it's one thing when the complaint concerns the defense and the response is: we don't have the correct personnel, we're changing the scheme and the transition takes time, etc. But the O? ? ?

I hope coach Coley goes to heaven. But, really

He has crazy talent and his decisions in distributing that talent makes me wonder if he's watching the game. It's almost like he's in a bunker drawing up plays without looking at the field. Watching this last game it was almost like Nix had sat bolt-upright in his coffin and was chasing the team around his dungeon of horrors. Ahhhhhhh

 

[OBLIVION]

I remember last season when dudes actually had the nerve to blame the defense for the offense sucking.

zone3cane was one of the biggest clowns pushing that ****. LMAO at the defense kept the offense from getting into a rhythm.

The Duke Johnson thing is a smokescreen.

FAU went 4-15 @ Nebraska this past weekend. Let that sink in…they had four times as many third down conversions in one game at Nebraska than we've had against UL in two games.

 

[The Franchise]

Pretty clear that 4 years in the whole team sucks, and there's been little to no improvement aside from bringing in better talent that's being whipped by guys we didn't recruit.

Who is to blame for that?

 

[BWCD]

Bingo.

Pointing at metric measures like our horrid offensive 3rd down % affecting our TOP, and thus--keeping our defense on the field for 20+ more snaps than the opposing D is a big **** deal...especially over the course of the season. It's proof positive.

If the offense wants to get into a rhythm, get someone with a cohesive plan on O that will engender a rhythm when we execute it well. A 60 yard SteMo bomb wasn't "rhythm". What we saw out of our O on Monday night wasn't "rhythm". What we saw Louisville do in the 4th quarter to seal the game up was "rhythm", and was a direct result of our O not having any rhythm or rhyme or reason to our playcalling...and the numbers support that soundly.
