Haven't read the rest of the thread, but this ^^^ is about it. Hard to make adjustments when the line is just "serviceable". Want to take the next step, shoring that up will be a huge step in the right direction.
Coaching Staff Evaluation
- Thread starter KCyclone2010
- Start date
Mac was too loyal to his assistants. That’s what got him fired. Rhoads micromanaged the offense, which he knew nothing about. CMC’s mid major buddy system is what makes him comfortable, but he needs to get out of his comfort zone and get a OC who can at least walk and chew gum at the same time. Special teams is not that complicated- there is no reason we can’t do better.
Edit: Want to add that I fully support this staff and team... after 34 years of season tickets - paid for a lot of bad football and this is best it has been... and full believe in the future. It is incredibly challenging to accomplish what has been done and we have a super bright future!!!!!
Offensive play-calling is consistently inconsistent and at times bewildering. One obvious example is once again, 4th and inches and we are in shotgun and getting stuffed in the backfield.
Other times Manning has some great series mixing it up.
As well - there are games when the play-calling is very stubborn and running same play on 1st down many times in a row and the other teams know it and stuff it.
Need to see more consistency and creativity on the offensive play calling.
Manning is the man!

some of you are dumb.

I think our coaching on the offensive side of the ball has been less than great this year. I's give them a C+. Too often the players haven't looked sharp on offense, which I think stems from a lack of confidence in their preparation and the plays they're being asked to run. I believe all year we have lacked a commitment to running the ball. That's made us one-dimensional and put too much of the weight on Brock.
I have complete confidence in Campbell and trust he will make the adjustments necessary in his staff. It's been obvious since the Okie State game that something isn't quite right. As the season went along opposing coaches have been able to exploit our weaknesses. Today we were massively out-coached.
I believe we have to be realists though. The team on the other side of the field wants to win also and is working very hard to achieve that goal. Sometimes the other team has a talent advantage that can't be overcome through coaching. Notre Dame is a very good football team. If we feel bad as ISU losing to Notre Dame, how would you like being an OU fan? One of the elite programs in the country and they're being taken apart by LSU.
In Mac's first year, I thought our only hope was if he had assistants who were a lot smarter than hm. For a few years he did.
Toledo had Olines that could compete with most anyone and dominate all but top 20 - 25 teams. It did take three/four years to get there. Agree that oline, special teams, and reduction of penalties would help. Also,Toledo was very good at takeaways and not seeing it now.
Baylor was 1-11 in 2017. Your point?
Stupid & become an I**a fan.
Don't agree. Only true thing about it is that it shows immaturity.
Dan , kirk, Bill, bob all under Hayden became historic coaches at their programs, hope we get their. Have a staff of that caliber.
Lot of dumb in this thread. Notre Dame recruits with the top 5 teams in the country. We still get excited when we beat out Mississippi State for a player. Chill.
Gotta acknowledge that our coach talks about changing the culture and isn't likely to be crowing about being better than Rhoads or being better than 3-9 or even 6-6 which, if you recall, is for "BS teams". We need to graduate to higher levels of satisfaction. Not saying we have to go get 10 wins but cannot believe 7 is what Campbell thinks is a good year or would think we should be satisfied with. Jeez, we still have fans in the WBB forum referencing pre-Fennelly records to deflect any expression of disappointment. Expressing disappointment in a given season isn't the same as dissing a coaches past performance or calling for wholesale change. And by expressing disappointment, or offering a critical assessment, I don't mean the full time debbie downers stuff. Actually, considering the degree of this ass-kicking, that's been fairly subdued.

Through year 4, Campbell has 2 more wins than Rhoads.
