 | re: If Les makes NO offensive coaching changes, what will your reaction be? - MFV on 1/15/13 at 4:09 pm
[quote]And this attitude, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with our fanbase[/quote]
As a supporter of the University and its Athletic Department it frustrates me that that the Football Program is not maximizing its potential. I don't think we are right now and if Miles refuses to make the necessary...

1.
Miles has a formula that will win him 9-10 games a year and have him "in the hunt" for the sec title. Don't expect him to actually compete for or win said tiltes unless we sign another playmaker like Tyrann Mathieu. Sadly this seems to be acceptable to the Admininstration and most of the fan ...

I don't think any of us truly understand how much 2008 really affected Miles. I fully I believe Miles was trying to transition us to the offenses like he had at OSU. Cr...

The problem with the offense is the schemes and concepts are so vanilla it makes them easy to defend. Hard to execute when to defense is always in the right position due to the fact you are so predictable. ...

| Some Random Thoughts On Last's Game - MFV on 1/1/13 at 9:43 am
Now that the initial shock and anger is past me here are my thoughts on what I saw. First and foremost we are very poor fundamentally. Too many missed assignments, missed tackles, and stupid penalties. Some of this is youth but most of it falls on the coaching staff for not holding the players accou...

They don't mind pressuring the cotton because it's only the fair thing to do but won't pressure the outback to take us over USCe. I would think that would be the only fair thing to do seeing we beat them. ...

The raise doesn't bother me it's the extension. Things could go to shite much less we fall behind A&M and we would be stuck with him for at least five more years. It just dont see this thing as a positive for thuniversity. Maybe my disdain for contract labor is clouding my judgement....

| re: Over and under for Les's raise.... - MFV on 11/28/12 at 8:23 am
I think his contract runs through 2017 which puts him at 64 when it expires so an extension should be off the table. I would give him the 5.25 a year if he would agree to a buyout of five million or less. I guess I just hate these ridiculous golden parachutes people get these days. ...

I thought the offense showed good improvement as the year went on but lets face it they had no where to go but up. A CONSISTENT offense in my opinion is what is holding this team back and this staff has not shown me anything to make me think they warrant being retained in their current roles. ...

You wouldn't have to hire Kragthorpe. You could reassign him or Emsminger to a admin spot. Also I don't buy the whole miles runs the play calling thing.

I think the offense is exactly the reason we have these close games. Even when we do move the ball it always seems we have a dumb mistake, turnover, or awful play call that prevents us from putting these games away. I give the staff credit for making adjustments after the Florida game but I still th...
