we don't have the defensive players that can play competent defense. If you placed them in exactly the right spot every play as drawn up they would still get physically whipped all day long. When a team get zero yards passing and you still can't stop them when you know what they going to do that is personnel just like those early days after DP when Baylor and others didn't throw a pass

Is Chad the loser or is Van the loser? I'm so confused. Who do I want fired right now?

I agree we don't have the athletes on D that are needed to have the dominate D needed to win championships. But the D's gameplan the first half was horrendous and didn't give our kids a chance. Add to the problem that our O plan was to play down the Navy's atheletes and its a recipe for disaster.

Our kids battled once the coaching staff pulled their collective head out of their arese and attacked Navy. Why it took a half to figure out is beyond reason.

Yes we don't have enough athletes to be dominate. We do have enough athletes to be more competitive in the first half against Navy.

A 3 point loss on the road to Navy won't stop anyone from wanting HCCM. He gone.

There are plenty of folks that will take a look at HCCM. Still think Ole Miss and Ten-I-See will come calling. Tech winning tonight was HUGE.

Aggie will not come calling...yet.

Wonder if CM would rather have the Ole Miss or Baylor gig?

Would be somewhat ironic if Van costs him both A&M and Arky.

Hey Chad, we feel your pain. :lol: :lol:

I just hope we can keep Chad and this recruiting class because I want to see what a difference another year can make. Just remember that Chad is doing exactly what JJ did at this point, i.e., beating all the bad teams on our schedule and getting this group to a bowl game. At least we haven't been blown out yet, but we do have to visit Memphis next week. Still think Chad will get some attention and I just hope he will go nowhere but A&M. Not sure what Sumlin's buyout might be but A$M has lost a couple of home games they arguably should not have, so I still have not ruled out something happening this year.

we were driving for a win against the No. 15 team in the Country in closing minutes and lost to Navy on the road on Senior/Veterans Day on last play. Had best offensive performance of the year against Top 10 TCU. Outplayed UH on the road on stat-board. Number of games our team quit-ZERO. Tough loss but not the end of the world. Step by Step. Less Drama-more Big Picture

There's a small camp of Ole Miss message board conspiracy theorists who think that the fix is in and that Ole Miss has already hired him because SJ Tuohy is on the staff and because of Craddock (Craddock is related to the family that the Ole Miss basketball court is named after).

That said, I haven't heard his name from anyone I consider to be a serious "insider" since one of the guys that was on the last search committee asked me what I thought about him while we were at a tailgate before the Cal game out in Berkeley.

And you are an old bitter person that just wants to point out SMUΓÇÖs deficiencies. You are worth nothing in this world because you do not offer any advice that would be worth Anything

You quoted him being positive about SMU and said he just wants to point out SMUΓÇÖs deficiencies. Help me understand your logic?

My advice is for you to get a CLUE!

I'm far from bitter about our Coach-I'm excited as hell we finally picked the right coach who actually turned this program around in 3 years. I'm just not so naïve to think that this was going to be a Championship team in Year 3 because I've seen a lot more college football and know more about our personnel than others

10-0 after a 3 point loss . I predicted 34-31 a 3 point loss. Hint: its not looking good for next week

Perhaps he is old, but he has managed to figure out how to post correctly. You would be surprised how many people have trouble with that. For example sometimes people post the same thing more than once.
