[mgfan]

That is all

Eh too late

I saw it in my ESPN alerts but can’t find the article.

Who’s the interim?  It has to be Odom, right?

Yes it is

[emmitt01]

When you lose to the community college in San Antonio, that should be an automatic firing

[3_n_out]

Now we have the last two games to see how they mesh with Odom. They should’ve given him a little longer chance. But, hey, I’ll take it.

Funny thing is, the defense had probably their best performance under Caponi last week.  Then they turn around the very next week and have possibly their worst.

Yep, too little, too late. This reeks of Morris trying to save his hide.  We need a thorough house cleaning.  

[Moobs]

11 ½ months too damn late. But better late than never. 

[NM Green]

I’m glad the fire is getting closer to EM’s tail. This team needs to be on urgent alert.
 

The D will be tested next Saturday for sure. Hopefully this new intensity spawns a big win over ECU.

Interesting....that this happens right before we play ECU---a team whose season was rejuvenated with a mid season coaching change.

They utilized a reasonable formation last week…and then arrogantly abandoned it

[Rudy]

Good. Accountability. MAYBE EM is feeling some heat.

No.

You never promote somebody that has two or three successful games as an interim when you need somebody that proves he can do it for a long duration.

Retain the best position coaches, let the new DC select replacements for the others... and then get them all recruiting the players that they need for their system. There should be no viable excuses for next season's defense.

I'm no coach so anyone who has a better gauge on these things please fill me in. What percentage of the blame belongs to the DC and what percentage is personnel? Is it possible that the D is just playing up to their talent level? If it's personnel can we reasonably expect a coaching change to make a difference ROS?

Sort of chicknshit to fire him so late in the season.  Seems like Morris is trying to find a scapegoat.  Same for Mosley.

[Venson]

This feels like Mosley forced EM's hand. I don't care who made the decision, but it needed to be made.

A change had to happen. Should have happened before Army.

Until Coach Keebler learns that the offense needs to complement the defense.....I'm not sure how much is gonna change.

You can't constantly be going for it on 4th down. You need to play field position. You need to learn to "tilt the field" occasionally. You need to take 3 when it's available.

So not sure that firing Caponi solves all our probs.
