We are dead in the warter if we have to fire another coach

We could so very easily be 5-0 right now.

LMFAO!!!!

Yep, I think it's just starting to sink in. We're moving towards irrelevance.

Yea, people calling for Riley to be fired already have no idea what that would do

Should have never been hired in the first place.

why even run a bootleg, the hell

bleed the dam clock

That's what I said.

Hand it to Jano and you have at least a 33% chance of him somehow managing a 1st down. If he doesn't get the 1st down then it's 4th and short with 20 seconds left.

THEN you can maybe go for it, or kick the field goal.

Again, I'm not blaming TA on that play, but there appeared to be running room on that play for him to make a first down with his legs, and if didn't make a first down, the clock would have been running. Regardless, even Calahan would have had the common sense to run out the clock there.

BINGO!

Damon Benning is pretty upset about this loss..... He can't stand STUPIDITY.

Well we've got a bunch of that.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Tonight I'm going to have to listen to Big Red Reaction.....just so I can talk myself off of the ledge while reminding myself that there are a bunch of other weirdos out there taking this shit way too seriously

I don't think that was a bad play if they told TA to not pass the ball, just run the damn thing.

 

[psaboy]

His explanation was "a qb bootleg run, no pass option" "Not sure why tommy threw the ball"

Well, then a coach of any character would bench that player for next game.

Tommy will come out and say he didn't know the play.

Tommy is a wild card though. He likes to improvise and that is just blatantly obvious anymore. I'm still surprised he didn't try to throw that ball away on that big sack that he took in the 4th quarter for a 15 yard loss.

The best thing to do there is just hand the ball to a rock and let him pound it forward. Then you don't have to worry about wild shit happening.

He looked like he was about to.

Even more reason to put on bench, he should know the play. My be time to build for future at QB, would like to see new blood there?

Yea ~ give Eichorst another chance - can his ass now

I'm beginning to wonder if TA's cockiness is the problem. I have his dancing exploits on the sidelines of the Miami game etched in my mind after Nebraska tied the game up and was about to go into overtime. This is for TA... save your dancing until after the team wins!

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

If we canned anyone right now at this very moment, we are going to look like a bunch of psychos who won't accept anything other than undefeated seasons.

Money can buy coaches to some places, but it won't buy one to a place like that. We gotta see this thing out.

I think Damon might be drunk
