During today's game, I sent the following email to Scott Stricklin:
Just one question: How much worse does this have to get before we hire a special teams coach and an offensive coordinator?
Scott Frost is available for the latter.

We already have a special teams coach. Couch's title is "Game Changer Coordinator" and he has certainly lived up to that title, without question.

Well then we better not hire anymore game changers. I've seen enough. Btw can somebody teach us how to call for a fair catch on punts instead of letting tbe ball roll down to the 5?

On punt return, we field punts we shouldn’t and don’t field punts that we should. We do this as part of the process. It confuses everyone except our opponent which is fine because not confusing our opponent is a big part of who we are and what we do. We’re ok with that. |

I get the inclination and I’d rather walk on glass than be misconstrued as defending Scott stricklin, but that is not his job. His job is to hire somebody who isn’t an assclown who embarrasses the university on and off the field. He missed on both with Mullen and so far he’s missing with Napier at least on the field I don’t mind him looking like an idiot in interviews as long as he’s not in costume, but if you have to convince the head coach who you’ve met every demand for in terms of staff budget and facilities to hire a special teams coach and OC/QB coach in the face of 17 games worth of results like these, you do not have a head coach. Then again you don’t really have an athletic director so I guess it tracks

At this point I thinks it’s safe to say that Napier is going to do it his way consequences be damned. Coaches that are unable or unwilling to make necessary adjustments rarely last long. A sport like football requires constant adjustments over time. The game is not static. His offense would have been hot shit in 1985. He is going g to play pound it out football end of story. He will continue giving the ball to his second best running back on 50% of the snaps. That’s who he is, and he’s convinced he’s right. I truly believe you could give this guy a roster of 5 star athletes and the results would be the same. Because most of what he does simply makes no sense. We’re stuck with him for at least one but probably two more years so we’ll see but after 17 games I just don’t see it changing.

At this point I’m hoping he can pull a Zook in the good way (since between the refusal to adjust and nonsensical pressers he’s a damn good facsimile of the bad) and hold together a decent class or two until someone not named Scott stricklin although the SS part can stay the same in a perfect world hires a real coach. I’m just having trouble holding out hope that he’ll adjust and I don’t think he’s stupid enough to think he can get an nfl job, do a press conference in costume, make up death threats, or try to fight a bunch of frat guys on 13th street |

Napier needs to pull a Zook and march with the troops up on Fraternity Row.
