Jimbo Fisher says hello!
In all honesty, he'd prolly be a QB coach at a MAC school right now.
Why do people keep saying Stanford kept our run game in check? They didn't. We ran for 4.4ypc and yet Tommy decided not to lean on that.
Someone from the ND staff needs to go to Grainger and pick up more moxie ASAP!
This is probably the right answer, but I think he’d be crunching numbers in spreadsheets at Deloitte. He’s an egghead but has no interest in leading or developing people outside of revealing his Ark of the Covenant offense. At a MAC school I like to think he would be fired for not having the ability to teach & develop without his pedigree acting as Kevlar. Plus the white collar world would allow him to golf as much as he damn well pleases.
Kind of a tragic tale—his whole identity is pegged to being a football savant, coach’s son, etc, but in reality the anointed one just doesn’t have the skills to get out of his own head and do the damn job. Every step he’s taken has been to avoid being a ‘normal’ person that his frame and talent suggest, but as they say we often find our destiny on the path we take to avoid it. In this case his obsession with being so unfathomably ‘smarter’ than everyone else in contempt of natural talent, measurables, and strength has left him looking like Joe Shmo in that role.
Other than the OSU loss, all of our losses have been to teams with far less talent than we have. Stanford was giving up 30+ points a game, except to us. Teams with far less talent than us scored at will vs. Stanford.
I’m more interested in what MF says and does behind closed doors than to the press. Publicly throwing his OC under the bus would only elevate the crisis and invite more vultures/distractions this program doesn’t need.
This year, they have not played well at home, win or lose.
Maybe he isn't, but the fact is they have how many scholarship receivers?
That play was a touchdown if the receiver sticks his foot in the ground and cuts it upfield. The hole was there.
There is enough talent on the offense except at the position that is by far the most important position on the offense, where we're starting a guy who probably shouldn't be a P5 starting quarterback, and at probably the second most important position, at least in terms of being able to score in a hurry, where we have like four actual football players (where on earth is Colzie?). We're loaded at OL, TE and RB but that's not enough.

Good for Driskell.
What was Built Bars Man to do to have any credibility???? Every show was about how bad of a HC BK was and what an Offensive genius Rees is. He banned good people who paid $50 to be on his stupid boards and then banned them and ridiculed people who questioned his sound analysis.
It really was a terrible play call/read. Not sure if Pyne had the option to give to Estime up the middle there but if he does, he probably bulls over that middle linebacker to at least get the first down. Even given the decision to run the jet sweep, if Thomas turns upfield after he cleared the DE, he did have a lane and probably falls forward to the first down line, but instead he kept stringing it out into the bad numbers on the outside. And of course Thomas is not a running back.
