The problem for the past 2 years has been (and unfortunately likely will continue to be) Les and GC trying to put a square peg through a round hole. In 2007 GC was the "wizard" because he had a 5th year senior who could understand all the nuances of his gameplan and an OL that could block for an eternity while his slow to develop passing routes were run.
We lost both the experienced QB and fantastic OL and GC FAILED TO ADJUST. This has been his failure. Instead of greatly scaling back the playbook and adjusting the routes to shorter ones he continued on as if the players were the same. Whether this is from stubbornness or an inability to grasp the situation, I don't know. JL was thrown to the lions with the playcalling and likely ruined. JJ is terrified of throwing an INT and waits until the WR is wide open before throwing the ball- hence the sacks and pulling it down and running.
If GC stays (and I pray he doesn't), he needs to gear the playcalling to our personnel and not vice-versa. If our OL is having problems pass-protecting, shorten the routes. If we are having problems run-blocking, use the Wildcat with extra blockers, but for the love of God don't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

Isn't that the definition of insanity?

These past 2 seasons have put many of us to that brink. Unless we get rid of GC (please God) I see next year as a 8-5 and a complete Rant meltdown (the number of days that Chicken has to lock the recruiting and coaches changes board> days unlocked)

((He would need a great O-line to be successful.)))

This would help!

insanity at its best.

and BTW...JJ played better LAST YEAR at the Bowl game, than at any game THIS YEAR, so improvement is a question mark.
