Is anybody else thinking this is back to the old Buick offense? Run until they think your going to pass it then run again. But seriously, we run first 2 downs and have 3rd and long and must pass the defense already knows what we are doing on every down.

Talent level doesn’t matter much if that is our play calling.

I don't know why I was surprised when, to start the 3rd quarter, down 21, we chose a run play to get the clock rolling. Then ran it again. The way we played the second half you'd have thought we were the ones up 3 touchdowns. It's like we were trying to run out the clock for SMU so they couldn't humiliate us more.

Playcalling was terrible.   No adjustments from UTEP game vs Smut.   They had everything on tape.  Same game plan for us, run between the tackles (until we can't against Smut) then pass, which we can't, then punt.

It’s extremely unimaginative play calling and our red zone play calling is even worse

It’s almost as if it was called by an offensive lineman.

No. You gotta recruit your ass off to solidify the most important position in all of sports. 

How many years has Magic Mason been gone? How many years has be had a chance to recruit a replacement ?

When you look at the accolades of some of the quarterbacks we’ve had since Mason, you’ve got to wonder if recruiting is really the problem or are they being coached into mediocrity.  
 

The problem doesn’t look to be recruiting on paper.  It looks to me like we haven’t had talent in the QB coaching role since Harrell.

Hope things can change, and they might with the teams we face, but a few concerns that were mentioned before the season -

  • Our OC/QB coach is a O-line coach
  • We do not have a legitimate college-level QB coach
  • Why does it seem that every QB we bring in regresses from their level of play at their previous stops?

Starting to think we are lucky Aune is playing at the level he is.

 

**Thank goodness we have Coach Cobbs and his RB's

And what do you do when said staff has proven they can’t do that, but cost too much to be replaced?

Don’t forget that Littrell’s worst record he has had since he got here was Mason Fine’s senior year. Quarterback isn’t always the cure all.

I seem to remember Mason being hurt most of his senior year.

All of this. You can't tell me that the number of QBs we've had since Mason left are all lacking the talent to complete regular passes at the FBS level.

We've all probably head the old saying, "lies, damned lies, and statistics," but given how much people seem to dump on Aune, I was curios where he stood in terms of other Mean Green QBs (including some of the greats) at the start of the season.  Looking at the record book, I'll admit I was a bit surprised by some of these.  I'll also admit, that the some of the minimum thresholds seemed a little odd, but here are the ones that stuck out to me.  

 

Passing Efficiency (career):  #4 Behind Fine, Hall and Maher

Passing Efficiency (season): 5th best (2020)

Yards (career): #9

Yards per Attempt (career):  #2 behind Hall

Yards per Attempt (season): #1 (2020)

Yards per Completion (career):  #1

Yards per Completion (season): #1 (2020)

Touchdowns (career): #10

Touchdown-to-Interception Ratio (career): #5 (ahead of Maher, Thompson, Davis, Ramsey and Dodge)

Touchdown-to-Interception Ratio (season): #3 (2020)

Passing Yards per Game (career):  #4 behind Fine, Vizza and Thompson

Passing Yards per Game (season):  #9 (2020)

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
