Maybe. I group clock mismanagement with the organizational issues. When you’re an offensive coach you’re inevitably judged by scoring points. And the play calling thing is a non issue. It seems horrible to us because we’re close to the program. We judge after every call. No offensive coordinator calls a perfect game. There’s gonna be head scratching series. It comes with the territory. Pick any offense you want and go back and watch their games. You’ll see a couple drives a game that makes you wonder what the staff was thinking.I think you might be confusing scoring a lot of points as being a good on field coach? I think actually he is a SHYTTY on field/in game coach. Brutally mismanaging the clock TWICE in the biggest game of the year in easy clock management situations shows you are a shytty on field coach. Letting a QB run power 2 plays in a row when your OLine sux and your QB is as mobile as Frankenstein shows you are not good on the field. Calling zero coverage on D and having your DB showing outside leverage, shows you are a shytty on field coach. Game after game after game these things occur. The 9-3 or 8-4 records hide this to most. But every week there are 10-12 obvious situations that are complete head scratchers that make a huge difference. Given our financial shortcomings and our admin lethargy, it is those 10-12 plays each game that a competent HC will ace and put us at a level where we might have a small chance of competing at the very top. Consistently competing at the very top takes total commitment at the very top, which we do not have.
You can't use multiplication with Grantham. Anything multiplied by 0=0.I guarantee he is twice the DC as Fat Slob Todd
I think you guys are way over thinking all this. Granthem isn't going anywhere, that's clear now. The simplest explanation is the historical one - mullen rarely fires anyone regardless of how bad they are. We now have 2 underlings supposedly gone. Mullen probably thinks that's wholesale change.
All this talk about the AD telling him no to a buyout and making him put up or shut up is nothing more than exotic justifications for granthems continued employment.
The simplest explanation is most often the correct one. It's just dan mullen, that's it.
I'm very confident he didn't. Gray was planning to leave for a while now and will be employed in short order. He wanted out of this disaster and who can blame him. The only person I think was actually terminated was english, and that was UAA driven based on ncaa infractions, not mullens cajones.I’m not sure that he even fired Gray.
