Bad new and worse news;
Bad...Cumbie is an awful, awful OC. Not just this year, but year after year, excepting two years with another OC to help. Even in the "good" year of 2017 all anybody had to do is get a little lead and the game was over. Everybody got creamed by OU's offense that year, but stayed in the game (ISU beat them because they outscored that awful defense). Like OU staying with Stoops too long they lost a lot they should have won. Our defense is totally mentally defeated...no hope, nothing in the tank. They have to play perfect or we lose...like three putting all the time in golf, and you feel pressure to put every approach shot within 4 feet. Did I say year after year with no improvement?
And now the WORSE NEWS: GP has made it plain that he is against firing a coach in the middle of the season. The bye week is a perfect time to do that, but you know it ain't gonna happen. Too bad, I had high hopes for a good season with the talent we have, but I can't see two more wins left to get us in a bowl game. A good OC could turn this around a lot faster than a DC can turn around a defense.
There is a good article in the ESPN web site about changes for the good, and the DRAMATIC improvement by changes in staff at OSU, LSU and OU. Not here, though.
I have really lost hope. This may be the first year since 1982 I have not attended a game in ACS. I was there from thick and thin, but this offensive disaster the last few years is beyond my breaking point. Oh, and I certainly was not affected, even a little bit, by the ticket policy at the new stadium. I put my money there when I thought there was hope.
Only one thing can bring me out...and once again it ain't gonna happen.
Wonder how many players we will lose to the transfer portal next year?
