WHAT? You are not serious here, are you? What in four years of Wulff's coaching would lead you to believe that things were really headed in the right direction? What in four years of Wulff's coaching would lead you to believe that he could outcoach any Pac 12 coach enough to win enough games to make a bowl?
F-in L....Why does a 6 win Wulff season seem all that unreasonable with an experienced secondary, some seasoned lineman? USC sucked at the time. Just as people used peoples reason we beat ASU in 2011 in that there was a lame duck coach, the same could be said for USC. There QB was horrible. In 2013 we beat a Utah team that was playing a walk-on qb, and still managed a career day despite throwing two picks fro a TD, which by the way was the deciding score. WSU finished within 1 inch of beating Utah in 2011, so to say was something to be overly impressed with I might lean on the side of Flat.
That USC team did have enough talent to go 10-4. So, there is that. But again, what on field coaching says that Wulff could outcoach another P12 level coach? He was not able to do it, ever.
It's unreasonable because Wulff never sniffed 6 wins in his WSU tenure. He just got fired for leading one of the worst offenses in the country after one year. He's currently unemployed. Is that enough for you?
Alright SoCal…your turn. Does Leach get your support? Can you fill in the remaining 3 spots on your list? Do the below posts convince you of anything?
You were probably one who posted we would go 8-4 last yr despite losing our best players on defense.
EXACTLY. We were 7th… in the NATION EDIT: in overall Offense, sponge. Link. http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/21
He's going to point out he meant scoring offense in conference. He won't point out that we're roughly a FG per game from second or third. And our kicking was... underwhelming.
You do realize that Kentucky is in the SEC? On second thought, you probably don't.
Yep...that's what I meant. And Leach needs to get a kicker. From spring, doesn't sound like he did that
Powell drilled a 40-some yarder, textbook, would have been good from another ten yards out.
No kidding...which is why I posted that the Sec has never seen this offense before in replying to mfl's post about Leach having success at Kentucky
So it's this stuff, sponge… I wonder what the motivation is for posting this stuff. Are you saying, "Hey, if we want to win the conference, this needs to change." or are you saying, "If this doesn't improve, Leach needs to go." or what? All you said was "It's concerning". I get it that we are 7th in the PAC in scoring… but further your thought. You kinda left this open-ended and I'm left with assuming you are trying to bash CML… Rather than jump all over you on it, I'm seeing if you'll further this…
Then you should have written "had not", not "has not" seen this offense before. No kidding.
Ed, Wulff was never going to get to 6 wins. It's like saying Willingham would have figured it out at the UW or Nick Holt snorts would turn him into a DC. We went cheap not paying Price, cheap by promoting Doba, and cheap with Wulff. Wulff wasn't going to get WSU to bowl eligible. Bad coaches at challenging stops just don't get to 6 wins in a P5 conference without a lot of help.
All great points Save, all great points. Let's see what Ed and his brother try to use to refute this.
Well, I think we'll be moving in the right direction if he tweaks his offense a bit by running the ball a little more. Yes, I probably am bashing him because the play calling drives me nuts at times..like the series I mentioned above.
I laughed at your dumb comeback. Seriously, why do you bother coming here? You can count the people who take you seriously on one hand and still have fingers left over.
See, the difference is that you think Leach won't run because then he's not the smartest guy in the room. Most people think it's because the pieces to run short yardage effectively just aren't there- our short yardage game being atrocious says that it's more the latter than the former. So does his TT background. I'd bet our run numbers also improved with Falk rather than Halliday, too.
Well....how many points do you get for having a great offense between the 20's? You know I was at a bball tourney this past weekend. The team that came in second scored 69 the first game, and won 69-19. They kept chucking threes with the game well in hand. They play their second game, again a three fest. Beat that team by putting up threes and win 57-20. Third game they win 47-40. Play in the championship game, they got three threes off all game, and they put up 32 points. Yardage is the same as a three. Looks great. But if you are top ten in yardage and number 7 in the conference I am sorry there is a disconnect.
Granted, most of that disconnect is your ST, when you combine the touchdown returns for the opposition and your not just "missed field goals", but unwillingness to consider kicking from outside the 15, really.
Good grief Save...they were one inch from having five wins in 2011 with their backup and 3rd string qb's. Granted, Lobster and Halliday had to coach themselves but they got it done. Why is it hard to see sixth win coming against OSU with a healthy Tuel, or SDSU.
Remember Montana State? That was Wulff managing with all the faculties, and he was so confused by a lead, and scared of losing to an FCS team, that he tried to give the game away.
Again, laughed at your childish behavior and comeback. Why are you here? You are not wanted.
Ed,
No, you want them to run in these mythical situations where the other team won't expect it, but to do it more, which will make them... wait for it... start expecting it.
Who needs blown leads, when you can endorse the kind of work that has opponents taking knees in an "and goal" situation... to end the FIRST half? Because they pity you.
You should be laughing at yourself because you can't understand my response to Mike F Leach when it was very clear.
