Temperment....

[SSBGDog]

Does Moorhead have the temperment to succeed in the SECW? I am questioning this now as it seems that he has NO passion on the sideline!!! Was reading the thread about all the bad calls that went against us. At least Mullin or Saban or Stoops would have been tearing the refs a new one. Instead JoMo just casually goes about his business. PI? Oh you mean you picked the flag up? Oh OK. Gottcha.

The man needs to wake up! Show some backbone. He's gonna get runover by every program and every ref in the SEC if he doesn't start showing more passion on the sideline.

Hey JoMo, the refs are not your friends! Millions of dollars are at stake. Don't stand by and watch them railroad your team. The players will respect you more if they see that you will fight for them.

Just my $.02.

I didn't see any passion about anything. Worrisome to me too.

If he doesn't understand that this is a run first league, he won't last 3 seasons. People won't put up with 52 yard halfs against middle of the pack sec defenses. It's adjust or gtfo. If he is half as smart as everyone says, he will recognize that.

 

[SSBGDog]

I don't believe he will last three seasons if he doesn't realize what you've said.

Amazing how worked up we get about how a coach looks on the sideline. When Mullen would chuckle or grin after a BS call, we all went berserk.

Know who else gets riled up on the sideline? Matt Luke.

Have a better game plan or make effective adjustments along the way.

^^^This all day.

I don't need a coach doing this

Give me one that can make adjustments and turn the screws. Moorhead didn't do that AT ALL on Saturday, but it's not time to cast him aside. He gets the chance to redeem himself.

Besides, I've seen an MSU coach get worked up before . . . and the team do NOTHING to get fired up and motivated to get things right. Remember him?

I love his temperament. He's a players coach and seems like a fun guy to play for. Several issues with the UK game, but Moorhead's temperament is not one of them.

Go look at his press conf from yesterday. He was pissed and said Damn a few times.

We got mad at Mullen for being an ******* and at the same time not yelling enough during the game at officials and sticking up for his players.

Mullen's teams weren't penalized too often for silly **** though. That's the part of a coach being an *** hole you want. Moorhead said any personal foul penalty is going to take away playing time and that player will stand by him until he says they can go back in. I think he's understanding this is an enormous problem with the team. He blamed himself and said it all starts with him.

We should give him the benefit of the doubt he gets this corrected.

He blamed himself and said it all starts with him.

This stood out to me as well. He took full ownership of all the issues we had Saturday. That speaks volumes to me.

This stood out to me as well. He took full ownership of all the issues we had Saturday. That speaks volumes to me.

Notably, he didn't throw anybody under the bus. Although, it would have taken a caravan of buses to do the job.

 

[the dog is on the loose]

Moorehead took the blame squarely on himself unlike Danny boy would. Moorehead also didn’t throw other coaches under the bus like don did. Also, moorehead also talked about player injuries unlike the other coach we had wouldn’t. That being said I was extremely pissed as everyone else about the game Saturday and would love to see moorehead get nasty when needed to.

The Monday Cooldown Podcast had a good point about the lack of running game Saturday. Our average yard to gain on 2nd downs was 9.5, and our average yard to gain on 3rd down was 9 yards. Of course, mostly due to our own mishaps on 1st downs, penalties, sacks, tfl....

Those down n distances aren't very enticing to running the ball. So we've got to figure it out where we get in positions to run the ball in this new offense.

Seems situational too in that we were very run heavy in the KSU and ULL games. We just aren't precise enough in the passing game (Fitz's throwing our WRs ability to catch) to execute that facet in a driving rainstorm. We should have been run heavy against KY in those elements no matter how they lined up.

 

[SSBGDog]

When you make several MILLION dollars a year, you don't wait until the problem cause your team an SEC loss to address the problem. We had three warm up games to iron this crap out. The penalties were an issue before the KY game. He should have been smart enough to figure out that would cost us a ballgame. If he can't figure that out, then he doesn't deserve his salary.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

This is the same **** the Inferiors used to say about David Cutcliffe

He had no emotion. Turns out, David Cutcliffe is a VERY good coach. He just had to get away from those psycho yahoos who are dedicated to two things:

1) Keeping Mississippi 50th in the nation (#flagship)
2) Having delusional unrealistic dreams about their football team.

Croom beat Saban. Step back from the ledge. If a repeat of last week happens this Saturday, I may join you on the precipice.

Oh, exactly. If we lose and he didn’t yell at someone in front of a camera, means he doesn’t care and obvious why we lost.

I liked it so much better when I didn’t have proof that State fans were this shallow.

 

[patdog]

TemperAment means nothing. Some coaches are fiery ******** who yell at officials, players and assistant coaches. Some are calm and don't yell but get their point across. It has nothing to do with how successful the coach is. And every team ***** the bed at some time or another. We did last Saturday. What defines a good coach is how he and his team responds. We'll see how that goes, but right now, I still think we've got a good coach.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I liked it so much better when I didn’t have proof that State fans were this shallow.

Unfortunately, it's called Football Season; especially after an unexpected loss. I'm as pissed as the rest of us.

Somehow, the very proof of pettiness reared it's ugly head in July in regards to the Diamond Dawgs...while they were in contention for a National Championship.

Everyone being an expert has become tenfold since the loss. This too shall pass.

I'm not a sunshine pumper; nor am I Chicken Little. I'm just a die-hard fan. I'll always question & criticize.

If I were smarter than million dollar paid coaches, I would be a coach...****, was I too young to apply when Croom was hired? And Jeremy Pruitt is a HC. Nevermind.

I get what you’re trying to say, but c’mon... you’re gonna hold up a “what not to do” and use the most iconic and (up until maybe a few years ago) the most successful and accomplished coach in Mississippi State history?!?

If Moorhead puts together a Mississippi State resume that comes anywhere close to the Football equivalent of 6 CWS appearances, 4 SEC Titles, 20 postseason appearances, and a .659 winning percentage (8-9 wins per year) and sustain that over decades, then he can yell in a 17ing gatorade bucket for all I care.
