Speaking of Sam Elliott, it's been way too long since the Sklar Brothers have had "him" on the County/Country.
The Wide Right & Natty Lite guys not Mess fans I take it?

Rhoads could say to Messingham "Next interview you give, you're fired."
(and even if you don't give another interview, you're fired)
(and even if you don't give another interview, you're fired)
He was too busy doing his awesome Parks & Rec guest spot to record any commercial voice-overs.
Let me start by saying most of Mess' play calls suck.... but I can't really say I disagree with his comments.
You don't think these coaches tell the players the same thing? You don't think they keep pounding in the QBs head to get rid of the ball quickly because the o-line cant sustain a 3 second block?
Mess is transparent, he tells the media the same thing he tells his players. Coaches don't get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to beat around the bush... if he thinks the QB needs to throw it once he makes his 3rd step, well albeit Sam better be throwing the ball to a receiver, or out of bounds, on his third step.

Here is my thing with Mess, yes if every play is executed by design we would put up 40+ points every week. But as the OC you have to call the plays that can be executed based on your players abilities and what the defence is giving you....Strictly from the offensive side of the ball Its is so frustrating seeing teams like Indiana for example just rack up yards and points with ease. Then Texas Tech brings on a True Freshman Walk-On at QB and they have no problem putting up points and yards. These OC's know what they have in their players and build a gameplan that can be executed and be successful.
This right here. I can only think of times this year where Mess shifted the problems on the players. And not a coaching/play calling deficiency.
I don't expect him to come out and say he sucked. But something like, "What we are doing right now isn't working. So we need to find out what we can do, so I can call plays that our guys and the coaching staff know we can run successfully."
K, I'm confused.
Transparency implies openness, communication, and accountability. So you agree that Mess lacks this?
This. Instead of calling out players by name, just say "we" need to do a better job. Not "Sam needs to" or "Grant took a sack".
"Sam hasn't played up to the potential I think he has." Why say this? Why not "Sam is coming along nicely especially considering his injury."?
As others have said, combine this with some of his past statements and it makes it look like he doesn't want to take the blame.
From what I have seen, Sam was making his decision in 1.41 seconds till the bull rush came through. Now Coach Mess wants him to do it in 1.11 seconds.
Just for the record I am Not a Messingham fan after this MESS of a season.
Lets Go State its past time to win a conf football game.
Rhoads will have to explain it to JP who is not afraid to fire a head coach if fan support is dropping off.
Edit: For the record I do not believe Rhoads is dumb enough to keep Messingham next year.

Then he is hitching his wagon to him, and one more year like this, Rhoads can exit stage left.
