Our national brand will never recover
Get a grip. Anyone that did not see this pummeling coming is delusional. Team is decimated by injuries and holdouts. As I said on another thread, we should not have accepted the bid.
Also, you cannot on the one hand complain about the complete lack of offensive gameplan, and simultaneously want to architect of that gameplan hired as HC.
Sucks to be on this end of a beatdown, but we have been on the other end lots of times
Life goes on, and it is unlikely that we will fire Major. He has some tough selling ahead of him to attract talented assistants.
You cannot fire someone after 8 win season and then complain about lack of loyalty when they skip out on you for a better paycheck. That is having it both ways.
I don’t know what is worse, the collective angst after a crappy end to a promising season, or the gnashing after a great season and we know our coach is getting poached.
There’s no excuse at ALL for getting beat 70-14 by Army. I don’t care how good they are or how many injuries we had! When a triple option team scores 70 on you it’s a disgrace ( no offense to army). I played against some triple option teams back in my high school years and a triple option team shouldn’t score more than about 35-42 points
It wasn’t just the quirky play-calling. It’s not having the team ready technically or emotionally week after week. How many games were we behind in this year?
I will give you this…we should not have accepted this bowl game invite.
Can’t blame it all on injuries though. Major’s coordinator hires have been disastrous, and that is being generous. Those decisions came to roost in this game. No DC to an OC with huge baggage issues who signs an extension, then signs off with another school a week later, calling plays in the game. On top of all the previous mistakes from last year.
We are not an entitled fan base for freaking out over a 70pt rout after an 8 win season. This is 8 wins trending the wrong direction. Time to cut bait
Not accepting a bowl game is something only Notre Dame can get away with. It would hurt the program almost as much as loss like this. Trust me texas or Aggie would never ever decline a bowl invite.
Colgate is better than team that gave us one our worst beatings ever?!?!?!!?!
That is kick in our collective crotch! I have been saying all year we were a team that is not that good in a crap conference and took some shots for it. To think the reality is even worse than I thought is even hard for me to swallow.
Yep, my ole friend had us going 11 - 0 pre-season the year Dismal went 0 - 11 (2001) the infamous 9-11 year
AND YES …
It would seem that all the quiet from the Cullen front … that Opie will be given another year to make things right … which means he will be starting all over again OC and DC -wise and supporting assistants … facing a meat grinder to start the season … OU and a Mike Leach lead team …
REALISTICALLY …
the outlook does not look hopeful for a third but critical year … but I hope I am wrong … besides, add to this …
who in their right mind knowing these to be the hard facts would give up their current successful position to come here to a “do or die” program for a HC in possibly his last year …
The last souls of the Alamo … the Battan and Corregidor holdouts … Titanic passengers … USS Arizona crewmen … had better odds of surviving …
If Opie could only clone Knute Rockne for OC and Vince Lombardi for DC … then maybe … otherwise
hey two of those Battan/Corregidor holdouts sailed a boat to Australia and one of them then went to Europe to fly planes over there. So it is not totally hopeless just almost.
good point
