Didn’t have a problem kicking the fg down 17-3, but the play calling with 3 straight runs before the fg is the worst I’ve seen.
**** even something simple and quick builds some momentum and confidence for both position groups. we aren't helping a weak WR group out and we aren't helping the QB out. we can't be the program thats gonna be known for ruining what was a dude who put up burrow and Trevor like numbers in his first half season as a starter.Too much to ask to run a simple screen? To a back or a TE? Something easy in the passing game to get some positive yards?
I think we ran 2 RPO/bubbles to slot receivers when we had trips to a side. One Ladson forgot to block and the other went for 25 yards to George. Other than that, was there a single ball thrown behind the LOS? And if not, it's truly insane because I don't think he completed more than 2 that were over 10 yards. So our entire passing game happens between the LOS and 10 yards downfield. Not exactly hard to defend that.
its coaching to get 3. the staff had no intention to score a td. at that point, we should've just kicked it on first down and saved some timeDidn’t have a problem kicking the fg down 17-3, but the play calling with 3 straight runs before the fg is the worst I’ve seen.
People not appropriating blame correctly, yeah gattis may have been bad in the redzone but bottom line we moved the ball up and down the field consistently until we got in our own way. Make a few adjustments and he’s okay. He’s already improved the run game. Tvd and the receivers need to get better plain and simple.Thank you for fairly criticizing Gattis, D.
Why do our fans have such bad memories and truly believe it’s all on execution? That argument can be made for any failure coordinator we’ve had. Players haven’t been executing since Pat Nix. Golden’s defense never executed - it was always the players fault that we couldn’t get pressure, got gashed for 500 yards routinely, couldn’t tackle. Rick’s offense never executed, similar to us now - we blamed everyone from Rosier to our WR - not his ancient 5-play playbook. Enos it was the same thing - posters clinged to him being a Bama coach and it was our dummy players yet again.
Gattis won’t survive here for long.
We are saving the part of the playbook for Clemson.Just once i would love for them to snap the ball on the first clap just to see what happens
He should have realized that before the 3rd gameTVD plays better in a sped-up tempo. Gattis needs to realize that, adjust his scheme and the WR routes accordingly. Quick hitters with occasional vertical strikes.
You’re cool going from down two scores to.. going down two scores?Didn’t have a problem kicking the fg down 17-3, but the play calling with 3 straight runs before the fg is the worst I’ve seen.
I was at one of the alumni watch parties for this game and half the place is on their phones. were absolutely boring. the issue is we can be boring and get results and im good. I dont need excitement if were putting up points and winning games that we should. were boring and we aren't getting any results. were struggling against weak g5 schools passing the ball. at this point, it has nothing to do w the defense were seeing bc the results are the same whether its a short handed p5 secondary or a weak g5 school.Another point about the offense - it's one thing to be bad, but to be bad AND boring is a horrible combination for recruiting. Kids will not want to play offense at Miami if the whole season looks like that. Games are hard to watch. The channel gets changed on the TV. The crowd at home games will get bored. Attention spans will be maxed out in the recruit section, fast. This is loser football (see the red zone playing for FG mentality down 2 scores in the 4Q), and it's sure not football designed with Miami HS athletes in mind.
Mario has gotten a TON of things right, but he made a huge error at OC and we all know it, now. Happy to eat crow by the end of the year, but I won't be. Has to get fixed asap and he has to get away from DC/OL football mentality when hiring his next OC. The longer we wait the worse the problem gets.
so if gattis has no confidence in his own position group, then why do we run a scheme that makes it incredibly hard for them to even excel? its a ton of contested catches out there.I think both Gattis and TVD have zero confidence in the WR group. It was definitely evident in TVD taking check downs vs trusting his WRs to win battles with ball in the air.
Gattis had the opportunity to bring in multiple portal WRs and they missed on a couple and passed on a coupleI think both Gattis and TVD have zero confidence in the WR group. It was definitely evident in TVD taking check downs vs trusting his WRs to win battles with ball in the air.
This is an overreaction. Have you looked at UGA recruiting at WR lately? Their offense sure ain't stopping blue chipper WRs from committing.Another point about the offense - it's one thing to be bad, but to be bad AND boring is a horrible combination for recruiting.

I remember sitting in the OB in 1999 and watched Coach Davis do the same thing against Penn State.The 17-3 run for it 3 times and kick a field goal was one of the softest most deflating coaching decisions I’ve ever seen here
It was a ******* embarrassment

Not really... They made plenty of dumb plays too.We muffed a punt which led to an A&M touchdown.
We had two missed/blocked field goals.
We had multiple dumb penalties in the red zone.
A&M played a clean game, we didn’t. That was the difference. Execution, execution, execution.
You get 5 FGs and even 3 TDs, and you're feeling good about yourself.5 fgs and no tds in that game would still have been a disappointing offensive performance. Can’t expect to win scoring 15 pts…
