Postmortem Offense

[carolinaspider]

Wofford will stop the run to force the weakest aspect of our game, passing!

Also from RollSpides:

“Playing hard” and “competing” isn’t what we’re out there for but the response from this group has to be acknowledged.

I am afraid that the AD would NOT agree with the bolded part. We hear this on the basketball side all the time…

I find Huesman's personality delightful. I remember Stacey Tutt running over a few linebackers under Dave Clawson's reign but don't recall too many people complaining and Huesman certainly isn't the only coach that wants to establish the run. I wish I could say that I admire your ability to keep the pot stirred with supposition and personal opinion but I can't. I'm not close enough to the program to make such definitive statements. I try to see both sides to any argument and measure the success or failure based on results. The last few years have been a pretty good ride but Huesman seems to get very little credit. He's got 11 more games. I hope he gets it all sorted out.

I would have agreed with everything you’ve said until last weeks game. last weeks game was the exact same offense that we’ve been running without success against good teams for at least the last two seasons, and October isn’t here anymore so it’s been coming from the huesmans.

I think we still win most of our remaining games, but won’t have the offensive playbook to get past the first round.

I agree with Gallipoli that Huesman tends to be more on the abrasive side, or at least it comes off that way in my opinion. I think it’s refreshing too his candor and ways to say it as it is, but sometimes you keep things inside the locker room. His demeanor has certainly ran off coaches and players. I can’t argue with the results, but do think luck has played into Huesman the last couple years like being in a watered down CAA, not playing the best teams in CAA. Our barometer of success for football should not be just to make the playoffs, but rather make deeper runs like we used to. That’s the standard set. His teams are not equipped to make it past the first maybe second round of playoffs.

What should the barometer be for MBB? We only dream of the standards you lay out for football, yet MBB is our signature sport.

The dream is deep run in playoffs too for basketball. A realistic expectation that I think many fans want is consistent NCAA tournament appearances which is reasonable. Having round of 16+ runs in MBB is significantly harder than in FCS football. Plus, our football has won a national championship before, so we’ve reached the ultimate success before so to think anything less than that is a shame for our program. We were ranked #14 FCS program of all time.

William and Mary is no where to be seen. I love it.

Please don’t make me laugh so hard.

Lacrosse has eclipsed all sports.
