He wasn't in the back of the end zone. He was only a yard or two deep.

The poor decision was to elect to take the ball after winning the coin toss. Navy got to take the wind, putting our offense at a disadvantage from the start. Great coaching.


Yes, the ball only went a couple of yards into the end zone, but it was a poor decision to bring it out under the circumstances. I thought the momentum of the fumble carried it in and he still could have taken a knee. Jesse may have feared otherwise (and opening the game with a safety).

Better get acustomed to that style of coaching. We ALWAYS want the ball. It's all about scoring one more time than the opponent. That's the mindset and doesn't appear Jones is deviating as he tries to instill that in this team. Aggressive all the way.


Aggressive all the way??????????? In the first quarter maybe, but if you have seen the Tulane, Houston and Tulsa games, the fourth quarter coaching has been decidedly not aggressive.
