What have our coaches been doing for the last 2 weeks? We look like the team that lost their coaching staff!!!

Looking for other coaching opportunities?

Nice juice by that punt unit

Well. At least that's three minutes off the clock we took away from USU's offense...

Utah State has a bunch of graduate assistants coaching the Aggies. How’s that for a coaching staff?

Put in Kason Martin or someone who can throw the ball.

Totally agree on Martin. 100%.

This team peaked in pre-conference. We became the media darling. We let it go to our heads. Teams began to figure us out. Coaching didn't adjust when needed. Blow out in a bowl game. Pretty much sums it up.

Our wins in pre-season were against teams that were in total disarray with new staffs just a couple of games into the season. We'd have been lucky to go 2-2 against those teams at the middle of the season.

I agree. Like someone said earlier, Shanbour is a hold the lead type QB. Give a young guy a chance. WTH.

I agree. Martin can play and still keep his red shirt.

Remember when there was a Quinn v. Mason QB debate here?

I was prepared to watch a good bowl game. Yet again the team was not prepared to play a good game.

Still waiting on someone to tell me which pressure game this staff has won.

Every conference game with a conference opponent 0.500 or better is a pressure game. Especially if the opponents is predicted to finish that way and does so. Granted with our resources and location we should have a recruiting advantage against all of CUSA West. We are in the top of CUSA West every year. You don't get to that level without winning a few important games.

No reason for Shanbour to be in now.

Do SOMETHING different

Fine should already be in street clothes before that high snap. That is definitely bad coaching. This staff struggles with in game adjustments.

Altitude is a bitch excuse. Our play calling failed this team, got the QB hurt, and will force our D to play 100+ snaps. We are a soft team up front and SL needs to take that part of his philosophy out of the equation bc it's false.

Maybe so, but we don't know that and it doesn't matter. 4-0. You are what your record is.

Two very key components (#8 & #6) missing! #2’s are not ready for a game of this caliber. #8 one of the top receivers in the nation and #6 one of the top qb’s in the nation is a major factor... Utah knows this.
