Sonny, Please say goodbye to Briles

[froglash88]

He's been out-coached badly in both losses. He's been out-coached in multiple wins.

With the talent we have, we are completely underachieving. The game turned today on a bad play call that is just inexcusable. Especially when we were actually running the ball well. Just so unnecessary.

Again, Briles didn’t turn the ball over 3 teams leading to 21 points.

The reason to say goodbye to Briles have nothing to do with football, the fact that he's bad at football makes it even more objectionable that he's still on the payroll.

If those were isolated mistakes on a bad day at the office you might have a point, but this offense has been error ridden all year, even when we've won. Part of why Hoover is playing so badly is that he has no time and no run game. Are those things also Hoover's fault?

If a player plays badly, that's on him; if they all do, it's on the coaches.

Sonny is the one recruiting immobile QBs. Sonny is the one who says every week that we shoot ourselves in the foot, without correcting the problem. We continue to throw passes 5-7 yards behind the line of scrimmage, but then wonder why that is bad, even though it changes the entire game in 1 play.

we have a turnover prone QB - he has been that way since HS and definitely since he got here. He has moments of brilliance but it takes 10 of those for every TO to balance it and he isn't that good.

So whose fault is it that we continue down this path? Are you expecting Hoover to turn in his pads? or find his replacement? or draw up a scheme that doesn't put the entire result on his back since he is not Duggan?

 

[FroggleRock]

Outgained KSU by over 100 yards and lost by 13. This team lacks discipline and execution in crucial moments. Hoover is the captain on offense. Whether or not you like it, he has failed as a leader when we need him. That is my frustration with this staff and team, not the play calling (even though I DESPISE the bubble screen).

One of the biggest problems over the past 4 years is we have had outstanding athletes that overcome the shortcomings of the coaching staff. It prolongs the mediocrity and doesn't allow for the necessary changes.

This is on both sides of the ball and straight up to Sonny.

Where are our "outstanding athletes" on this team outside of EM?

If you mean the lateral the play is supposed to go forward Dykes said afterward.

Sometimes there are bad play calls. Sometimes there is bad player execution. Sometimes both.

Dykes is not going to replace Briles. Those are deep and personal ties.

Maybe Briles will be hired away by some Mudpie State University somewhere. As a head coach.

Exactly what everybody was worried about when we hired the man. Deep personal ties to really really terrible people and willing to keep them on the payroll. Embarrassing for the university all around.

Isn't this why we fired GP? He wouldn't replace his buddies on the coaching staff who underperformed? We need a new OL coach and a new OC, but we're stuck with them unless an alum writes a big check to clean house. Sigh. We change our coaching staff, but the same problems persist in the OL/scheme.

Briles, when your RB is averaging over 6 yards per carry, why can't you stick with pounding the rock?

Just gotta throw it almost every down don't you? Can't help yourself .
Don't you get tired of 2nd & 9 or 2nd & 12 after your cutesy short passes constantly get blown up?

Empty calorie air yards when it doesn't matter have defined this offense for three seasons now.

This.

Imbecile nepotism has gotten us nowhere. I had hoped that we would have a great year, and someone would hire The Whelp away from us, and we would be rid of the Briles stink. But, no...
