As I’m halfway into your podcast, your buddy brought up a really good point about the offense. Maybe some plays are not well schemed. Feels as if they’re utilizing multiple guys as decoys only to free up space for the main target. Once defenses gets a read on that, they key in on that main receiver and shut it down before it can ever get started (see DT). And, I’ve noticed they barely run any play action. If they do run it, it looks half-assed where no one falls for it. Basically, it’s been predictable. Predictability makes it easier to scheme against…and here we are.
We brought in Littrell 2.0, except Littrell had enough strings to pull Phil Bennett off his couch when he needed him. I guess we’ll see what kinds of strings Morris can pull. He doesn’t seem nearly as connected.
Voluntarily stepping down to a lower level will have the same disastrous results as when we stepped down to 2A. Everyone talks about that being a huge disaster that killed everything and set us back decades, now people are wanting to repeat the same thing? We are in the AAC. Tulane, Army, Memphis, USF, Navy get national credit when they win, we just have to be a championship level team in this conference to get that same recognition. We need to put an athletic administration that can make the right hires, and raise funds to support the program. Stopping now will undo 30 years of work.
It'd be one thing if we had some elite scoring options getting minutes but we don’t. We have a clear hole in the post and clearly need more scoring off the bench. I fear we'll finish around 18-20 wins like last year when I think this team could do better. I really hope I'm wrong.
This conversation was never about how much baseball could earn or lose or whatever else, the point still stands our athletic budget is significantly greater than other AAC schools who have fired their head football coach. Those schools can somehow afford to do other things we somehow can't. Baseball was just an example.
