Shula sounds lost, unconfident

[HI Cock1]

After reading this article, I certainly understand why our offense is where it is.

He sounds like a bunch of people on here talking about the game, going back and forth between positives and negatives.

His style is milquetoast. Milque. Toast.

Milquetoast is the proper term. timid, meek, or unassertive person, lacking in boldness or vigor. Milk Toast is a breakfast dish. Am I right @KingWard?

His answer regarding the play call on first and goal was standard coach speak. "Thought we'd catch them in a favorable look, but we didn't. If the play had worked, it'd be a great call. It didn't so it was a bad call."

I don't like the answer, but he's probably right.

Mizzou knew he'd be stupid to think that.

He was bound to be right with such an equivocal answer. Developing such responses is part of the coaching craft.

I can hear SOS..."Yeah, Player X was supposed to go this way, but we went the other way, Player Y missed a block. I don't know. We can't run routes. Can't block. Can't coach apparently. I don't know what we do well."

 

[PrestonyteParrot]

Visionary - Not
Tunnel vision - maybe
Mr. Magoo Coaching Goggles - for certain

And I should add..."But we'll get back to work this week. See if we can't some guys who want to play football. Try to coach 'em up a bit better."

They really had success when they had Brady Hunt in the backfield blocking. The next play they had Faison blocking. Our O-Line can't be trusted at this point. We should just be doing quick hitters.

 

[PrestonyteParrot]

The quick dump pass to the TE that was very successful has disappeared as well.

 

[Jonesz2]

Either our players are inept or the coaches. Alot of teams wanted our players. Our coaches? Not so much. I don’t see our coaches NIL stock rising lol

It appears out best offenses have a TE in the backfield. Not sure why the coaches haven't picked up on this over the years.

Saban needs to restart his coaching rehab service. Shula needs it bad.

He would have to be visionary in order to scheme when the Bigs cannot block at all. Yes, he wanted to answer a question not dig deep to create a solution. With the line this porous, run a screen play every play asking the oline to just ever-so briefly slow down the defense giving sellers a chance to back-pedal to avoid sacks. This gives Sellers opportunity to create if he has to move and possibly find open longer routes too. Don't run set plays, they will blow up due to no physicality.

Our issues have always been largely talent-based.

The history of USC Football is about the timing of talent coming and going do to recruiting in the lower half of SEC.

Look at all of the other teams who recruit along the same lines that we do -- they have the same feast or famine issues.

Each time this staff has had more than a couple of pieces to work with - they've produced.

The idea that you're going to find the perfect set of coaches to make up for inconsistent talent flow is a complete folly.

----------------------

2022 - We had a team which soared the 2nd half of the year.

End of 2022 - Our four star players outside of Rattler (Wells, Lloyd, Bell, etc) walked because they wanted more money.

2023 - Largely a bust because we lost those star players for Rattler to distribute to.

2024 - We had one of our best seasons ever.

End of 2024 - We lost a sea of players to the NFL (credit the staff) including Rocket which was a large part of fueling the 2024 run.

2025 - The impact of losing those players is having an impact -- especially on offense where Sellers lost his main man.

I think Beamer is a visionary when it comes to hiring assistant coaches.

 

[gamecox4982]

He sounds like someone that has already retired but can’t bring himself to turn in the paperwork. This sort of thing happens all the time in the business world and this is no different. Beamer needs to give him a little push.

One glaring deficiency is at WR. We have some really good young guys but they need to step it up quickly. TE is a strength but we don't utilize them as receivers too much because we need them to block for a non-existent running game. We can't run and we can't throw so our offense is basically a mistake waiting to happen on every down.

I'm watching Omega Blake against Notre Dame. Remember him?
