I wonder if Mick reads the paper in the morning?

I speculate that this kind of discombobulation can be somewhat attributed to a HC that defers to 2 OCs.

Well, we can't have it both ways, people, so which is it? Are the OC's handcuffed and being forced to run Mick's 1960's offense, or is mick a HC that defers to his 2 OC's and they're not equipped to handle the responsibility?

The former...

both

Doing nothing differently is certainly an option.

Maybe executing on the details better, as Saylor said, would be the best option. Ever thought about executing better and making fewer mistakes? Making the same dumb comments and posts sure doesn't help things, in my view.

You're such a pompous a-hole. What gives the right to judge other fans? Who the f8ck do you think you are anyway? This is in reference to your previous post labeling some of us bad fans.

Actually, arguing that "lack of execution" is to blame for our four losses (thus far) is a completely valid argument, whether I agree with it or not.

You see, unlike you, I can admit that other people have valid arguments, even if I don't agree with them.

Where it gets gray, however, is the WHY there's a lack of execution. Is it talent? Or is it inability to coach up? And in reality, both of those are coaching issues...

Talent level is something else. I suppose lack of experience on the o-line leads to more lack of execution. Don't know the talent level of the guys playing the o-line. There don't seem to be any NFL guys there this year. The team seems to execute well much of the time or often, so not sure how much coaching impacts that. The coaches seemed to coach fine last year. Don't think getting beat on deep passes is usually a coaching problem. In EWU game, it seemed that speedy and athletic receivers caught some very well-thrown balls. I find it interesting that so many people want to blame coaches. I know coaches are not perfect but at this level of college and above. I think most coaches are very good.

well, we may have to agree to disagree. Bad angles, poor tackling, routinely biting on pump fakes, etc., etc. all seem like coachable issues to me...especially when they keep happening, with very little improvement. Can't fault things like the receiver making a circus catch with Gamboa draped all over him, but there are plenty of examples in the EWU game alone where it seems coaching left a little to be desired.

I am sure that less talent, poor execution and poor coaching all factored into this loss. The
bottom line is that for the second year in a row, Eastern's offense jumped out to a big lead putting the Griz in a horrible situation. Having to attempt a miraculous comeback one more time is not desirable. Most of Eastern's key offense players will be playing next year. Maybe the 3rd time is the charm? My gut tells me that next year's game will be very similar unless something changes with the Griz approach.....

I think the whole process is flawed. Imagine calling plays but not knowing if you're going for it or playing for a field goal (we all witnessed that at ewu). Plus, the time it takes for MD to decide if he wants to go for it and/or get his input/decision, and depending on if he wants to run or pass he would consult a different coach, and possibly a third coach calls the play in...by that time the 40 seconds is nearly up.
That's why it's such a stark contrast to play ewu because not only does Baldwin do all of that stuff himself, he's also thinking 3-5 plays ahead

You guys better be careful what you wish for. I watched the replay of the EWU game and it looks like JJ literally threw five or six balls that could have easily been picked.

He has 4 ints against 15 TD passes all year.
