Bye bye Cumbie...

[Mean Purple]

All goes back to 2013 when Lincoln Riley was begging for an OC job. And we hire Meach and Cumbie. Instead of the best offensive mind in college football.

Lincoln may have left pretty quick. too much talent to put up with some of GP's famous insanity.

Chip Kelley will be available in the next 3-4 weeks probably.

they were flopping earlier. had a defender pull another defender down to fake an injury. Georgia is gassing them.

 

[Mean Purple]

there is, of course, the possibility that the type of offense we are trying to run has played it self out in college.
It relies on some tempo, which we have not been getting up to for key stretches of games. AND, against big teams, if they can crash it in well and have a SAM that is fast and long. They get to the edges just as fast and are not to burdened by the run.

at which point, holy hell, we're screwed.

That's not Chip.

Maybe, but might have had him for a year or two and maybe he rubs off on someone else on the staff.

ha. can't remember where Brian K came from. Cincy?

Yep

Collins was the best we had last year until he tore his throwing hand open. Collins should be the one starting.

Hi Michael!

I would agree with you but I honestly can’t tell you what we’re trying to run. We run plain vanilla zone blocking running plays, an assortment of quick horizontal passes to WRs, and......well, hell i’m not even sure what else to add. We throw an occasional pass downfield but doesn’t everyone? More often than not, the QB drops back, doesn’t see anyone open, tries to escape pressure, and make chicken salad out of chicken [ Finebaum ]. We alternate from running up-tempo to going so slow our O-lineman are down in their stance for what seems like 20 seconds while all the skill guys look over to the sideline for instructions. It’s maddening. No one looks like they’ve got any conviction or a clue as to what we’re really trying to do. I’d like to think something is going to click eventually and we’ll establish an identity but I think I’ve lost hope, just seen it enough.

Well this is pretty brutal:

Gotta hope the coaches have not lost this team ( on the O side). And GP would be included as part of that coach group as he is HC.

38 points should win you a game at home.

Patterson’s defense got absolutely gashed today.

 

[NYC Horned Frog]

Meach is a good guy. He was here watching our game. Dude was pissed at the play calling. He wanted us to win, saw it in his eyes.


I’m not a coach, but, SMU just came over and punched us in the face. Time for us to figure out what an offense is.

This is odd.

Some of it was somewhat spot on, other parts were just Muck hating on TCU as usual.
However, the part about needing someone in there who knew about the Qb situation is just bad on GP. Dude is the head coach, how the hell does he not know about his qb.

Muck does mention the bad play calls, and the defensive let down, but does not mention the turnovers that put the D in a bad spot worth 10 points.

Defense didn’t have their best game, that was obvious. Meanwhile, the offense ran 35 plays in the first half and completed one scheissing pass. ONE. Against SMU. With an Air Raid disciple coordinating the offense. How is that even possible?

And if we’re gonna be a run oriented team why the heck is Sonny Cumbie our coordinator? Look at our running game, there is no creativity or deception at all. Had Anderson not made an amazing job of shaking tackles and juking on his 77 yard run we’d have averaged 3 yards per carry.

Is there a plan in place? If there is I don’t know what it is.

 

[NYC Horned Frog]

He and GP butted heads and didn’t get along at all....., I don’t see that happening. I think that was muck stirring the pot.

This premise is false. Why did this become a thing? It’s not true.

Not sure how the line got out there that Meach and GP butted heads. GP mentioned in an interview there was talk of bringing in back in. Then mentioned something about personalities, as if to indicate an odd mix with current offensive staff. I seem to recall him using the term "them".

Spot on

I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

I am always hearing what a great QB recruiter Cumbie is. Well, looks to me like the QBs he has recruited are either permanently inured or lousy passers. Time for a change.
