Possible coaches if changes are made

We can make all the coaching changes in the world. Nothing will change until we start recruiting better players. Sonny is the exact same coach he was two years ago. The players, mainly offensive, were the difference. I'm not saying the staff deserves to stay if we keep performing poorly. I just think we have more of a personnel issue than most believe. How many above average players do we have outside of QB and WRs? Yes, part of a staff's job is to develop the players, but not every player can be developed into greatness. We need players who are already talented enough to be great quickly.

I not trying to get into an argument about this...but if we really want to try to get to 6-6 every year that is about what that would get us. Our 2021 D was terrible and we still haven't really recovered from it. His last solid season was going on 7 years ago now, and that was the year Dykes was here babysitting his OC. I just don't think that is a very good option either.
Amazing how quickly some forget how mediocre Gary's last 3-4 seasons were. He couldn't win then, what "magic" has he required that would lead to success. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Firing Dykes,and bringing Patterson back, would get you more of the same.

I don't think SD is a bad coach. Today was inexcusable especially with the ejection. I think we have some pretty good players. The problem is that we are playing soft right now. That is true in all phases of the game. We have an offense that won't play complimentary football. With the transfer portal this is turning into Last Chance U.

We need someone to step up and be a man. We need a leader! I saw too many players shying away from contact and not taking challenges head on. Hit somebody! Not everyone has it in them to be a football player. If you don't that is fine, but it is time to quit the game. I think you have to look at the offense and start telling it you have to play complimentary football. You have to control game. Football is won in the trenches, and we are getting manhandled in them. Right now if you put a steak dinner in the trenches our guys would eat the grass as a salad rather than fight for that steak.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Decisions Sonny Dykes has made:

- Start Chandler Morris over Max Duggan
- Hire Kendall Briles
- Start Chandler Morris over Josh Hoover
- Not seek help for extreme anger management

CFB coaches are CEOs. A competent Board would have him removed.
Anger Management?!? I'd be mad as hell at those incompetent bozos in the stripes as well! The trick is, be specific, and not just call them names...

DJ and Payne at least hit the hole and churned forward. Cook just bounces back or sideways and it goes nowhere

DJ dropped 2 passes including one right before a strip sack.
Payne fumbled (but was called down) but still never reappeared afterwards.

Bottom line nobody is taking control of the job.

When you’re in a position of authority, you can’t let your anger fog decision making. I think it does with Sonny. GP seemed to be able to snap out of it and get back into game mode quickly.
