It's Fixable

I admit I over simplify what is a complex problem. For instance, I suggest a screen pass. Sounds simple, right? It is a very tough play to execute. The play has 11 individual assignments that have to be executed correctly for the play to work. You just don't throw it in the mix. Any of our suggestions are nothing new to our coaches. they call the plays and run the schemes they feel put the team in the best position to win. They certainly are in a better position than I am. There is nothing wrong with the philosophy. Remember our guys are serious students that play football. I don't believe we are trying to be an NFL farm team. Our Coaches stress academics and character as well as athletics. It took guts to cut our arguably our best offense threat this past spring. There is a method behind their actions. Our coach has a vision and values that I like. I can be patient.
This conversation is more suited for wings and beer than a computer screen. Tell me where and when.
BTW, Marshall is 1-3. I don't think they are looking for the head of Doc Holliday up in HuntingtonPosted On: Oct 3rd 2016, 12:01 AM #360482
Doc has history of winning so you can feel more confident he will fix things.
Also i you read the C-USA message boards many Marshall fans do think Doc's best days are behind him.

Right, with 2 of thier losses being Louisville and @Pittsburgh. They will bounce back nicely to destroy our team in a few weeks…dont worry.
Charlie is 7-what 24? The ride is over, there is no defending at this point.
Is there an example of a coach EVER coming from a record this bad to find success?

I don't think it's a problem of X's and O's, it's a mental problem. Al-Shaair even said they were in the right places, just didn't execute. This is explains why CP was such a great coordinator (sort of) and line coach, but terrible HC.Matt C said
C'mon be specific. If you were the OC DC or HC what moves would you make? Need X and O'sPosted On: Oct 2nd 2016, 12:10 PM #360403
Bottom line - CP might be a great recruiter and tactician (but I doubt it), but he certainly can't get the players to close out games and play disciplined, fundamental football.

We're talking x's and o's…
Our players arent tackling, blocking or catching the ball.
Can we start with the fundamentals of good football?Posted On: Oct 2nd 2016, 2:15 PM #360425
100%. My thoughts exactly.

"In recent weeks — after a program-worst loss to Kansas State and two late blown leads — Partridge has drawn the ire of fans. Fan forum Owl's Nest's thread titled "FIRE CHARLIE!!!" had 64 posts by Sunday afternoon."
Probably every single FAU fan commented on that thread. All 17 of us.

He is 7-22.
Schnelley was 10-26 his final three years with a busted hip and he was sent packing.
Partridge will be very close, if not exactly at that mark after three years.
Just sayin'…

Mario Cristobal was 9-27 after 3 seasons. Then went 7-6 and 8-5 with 2 bowl appearances. 3-9 his last season. We have a Mario situation.

Wow, we've had a tough run of years.

1-11
5-7
3-9
7-6
8-5
3-9
We're 100% in a Mario Cristobal situation - a bad head coach that can recruit, and might hopefully have a couple years where we barely win more than we lose, then back to being a bad team.
