Did I see that right.... a High School coach?

Interesting... That seems familiar

Yep, and Tulsa just hired former Lake Travis HS HC, Chad Morris, to be their Co-Offensive Coordinator.

The biggest difference between these two hires and ours is that the above coaches will have time to adapt and grow into the college game with an experienced college staff, whereas Todd Dodge was basically thrown into the fire and forced to learn on the fly. Several HS coaches have made successful transitions from HS HC to college position coach and then onto college HC, but few have done so in jumping straight from HS HC to college HC.

A valid argument if you believe 2 years at the D-II level is enough time to adapt and grow into coaching against FBS schools. Also, it would be foolish to consider the 95-06 years to be anything close to resembling coaching at the FBS level. I think 07-09 has proven that statement.

You have to throw out he 1907-1909 seasons. The tuberculosis pandemic wiped out all the positional coaches. Not a fair comparison.

      Parking

      I missed the creation of the Brown lot. Is this the first year of it's existence? One of our crew went early enough to be first to park in that lot Saturday. He was just carrying a plastic grocery bag of snacks so it worked well for him, priced $15. GMG

      The Black Lot was easy-peasy. Up your game.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).
