We're just piecing together what we have--I wouldnt look too deep into it. Any win we can get is great, but the season is all but over.

These guys are mostly all going to get canned when a new staff comes in

The team was soft.

Kieland Williams calves could not have withstood this shitty oline.

The oline may be big and tough but the were not coached correctly.

Frank Wilson is absolutely the most qualified assistant on the staff to be interim head coach.


Hoping Coach Wilson makes MVB new starter.
There is absolutely no one talking about his series, last of game for an effective effort ending in a TD
Aggie got a couple sacks, so don’t believe they gave it to him

We fired the HC. These other positions will take care of themselves once the season is over and a new HC is hired. Careing about who gets "promoted" during this final stretch is pointless.

Harlem Berry got 1 carry in the second half. He only averaged 7+ and we were winning.

But I guess that's why Kelly/Sloan are no longer here.

They just needed someone who has experience calling plays, that’s probably the only reason why Atkins got promoted to OC.

Does Atkins actually have experience calling plays? Norvell called the offense at FSU. Atkins has been OL coach at every other stop.

Rattay was an offensive analyst, not the run game coordinator.

He's NOT the permanent OC. Just a pinch-hitter for 4 games.

Doesn't matter. It is only four games and we aren't playing for anything. It could be Kermit the Frog for all I care.

Oh, and bench Nuss.

And Georgia thought Hankton sucked.

BK really did a number with these offensive hires

It’s not just last Saturday. The RB run game has been successful for a month, we just never run the ball.

Against Scar: 24 RB carries for 138 (5.75 YPC)
Vandy: 19 RB carries for 113 (5.9 YPC)
aTm: 15 RB carries for 97 (6.4 YPC)

Sorry, I misunderstood. So, Atkins called plays at Florida State, last year, no? None of the rest of the staff has anything like that level of experience.

So, that's your interim OC - and, I suppose, Frank can help out there (although I'm not sure he's called plays since O.P. Walker)...

No. Mike Norvell called the plays at FSU until they hired Gus Malzahn. Alex Atkins is a career OL coach who, as far as I can tell, has never been a primary play caller at any stop.
