All three would have been in the endzone.
I was still hopeful going into the second season. By Oct I knew we were EXACTLY the team he wanted us to be and would never be successful.Do you remember during Muschamp's first season and into his second? You just knew this wasn't THE guy. I feel similar to that. It's an awful and helpless feeling.
Even if they aren't in the end zone... if you get lucky and it dies at the 1. How is that any different then a fair catch at the 1? It isn't! The only difference is the fair catch has no chance of anything good happening and only can result in bad field position or a muff!
This should have been Mac's reaction after that 2nd half meltdown.
Against Vandy, we need to go up tempo / 2 minute drill.
I knew we were in trouble when our boys were cramping at the end of the first half. We ran all of the gas out of the tank that first half . . .

Yes, but I heard Mac say in the post game presser that Callaway did exactly what they told him to on one of those...he put his heels on the 8 yard line and caught it there. So apparently he is coached to catch it from the 8 and up... I remember thinking that's odd as conventional wisdom has always been the 10.Stand on the 12, if it goes over your head. Let it go.

So actually, in ONE of the THREE times he caught it inside the 10, he was actually supposed to...

I almost wonder if we'd have been better being slightly more conservative in the first half and be up 14-10, with gas left.
Nuss was horrific. I think the 1st 15 or so plays are scripted. This staff prepares well but can't do in game adjustments.
....
(2) If the scripted plays work well, make up 25 or 50 scripts of 20 plays apiece. Give each of them descriptive labels, for what we're trying to do/exploit, or what defensive situation/s they're designed to handle.
For fast-play stretches, could even tell the QB "run Script 12 unless/until we send in something different."
Ten wins and a trip to ATL. He peaked in year one. Kinda sad.
Dude... You score all the friggin points you can... Especially in the FIRST HALF... And are you also suggesting that our D should have played with slightly less intensity and allowed a TD, so as to rest up for the second half?
Your opinion...after the first loss of this season. Your remarks have no merit. There are no facts about peaking in year one. He may have been luckier than Les for his first year, but there is no telling how the rest of this year will play out, unless you have a crystal ball or have travelled back in time. All you have is your opinion, based on that feeling in your gut which will likely make you hurl before long. But it's not a foregone conclusion.
I expect you'll call me a pumper for this response, but I don't see pumping in this reply. I see a need for facts. You're entitled to your opinion, no matter how bad it sucks, but it will remain an opinion.
It does suck. It sucks knowing we have a middle of the road staff. They can't coach very well and they can't recruit very well.
He's 3-4 in his last 7 games with 4 blow outs to ranked teams in a row.
Sure he could turn it around and win out and clean up on NSD. The odds are against him at this point. He is what he is...an average coach and recruiter. Slice it, dice it, flip it over, dress it up...it doesn't matter. We can all pray together and sing kumbaya and shoot rainbows out of our asses...it doesn't matter. He's an average coach. Sorry.
Kind of butting in here, but there are several ways to script plays. In the old days, some of the guys would script the first 10. Of course, the script was based on defensive tendencies that were taken from the opponent's film and scouting reports and each working (positive gain, score). Sometimes the script was good; other times, it got wadded up after a play in the sequence got stuffed. Most nowadays are more complex and there are multiples, as they are based on starting field position, hash, down and distance, and proximity to the end of each half, as well as the defensive tendencies. There may be a master list of a number of plays in sequence, but I'd bet they are more likely in chart form and are divided run/pass and columned by the aforementioned variables and relative situations (e.g. quick strike after a sudden change, power run formation to play action fade when penned inside the 5, etc.). Some guys stick strictly to the script while others will leave it and play on a hunch during certain in-game situations. Might have been what happened in the 2nd half. Among coaches, there are the cautious and the daring on the ends of the spectrum and many in between. The best have a knack of knowing when to be aggressive and when not to.This has been in my mind as well, lately. How many are scripted, and why not create a few scripts to run during the game if they work so well? Secondly, how much of a hand does Mac have in the scripting as opposed to Nuss....inquiring minds want to know. If it works so well, find a way to maximize it.
