Orange Bowl Snowflakes: The Coaching

I love his toughness. I appreciate the fact that he's our best pass protector at that position. However, giving him the ball for 2 yard loss after 2 yard loss is an abysmal failure of this coaching staff. He is incapable of changing direction. Against a dominant front, you need a back who can create something on his own. Smith can turn 3 yards into 5, and he can turn 10 into 15, but if he cant get started, he goes nowhere. This was as frustrating to watch as poor damn Fitz Toussaint and 27 for 27. Harbaugh/Wheatly giving De'Veon so many touches is the equivilant of Belein's previous insistence on playing Donnal over Wagner. It's the "safe" play but hurts the team overall.

fsu's defensive front shocked our o line in the first half. Our defense lead by Taco played hard and gave us the chance to win in the second half.  Speight couldn't pull it out plain and simple.  The O line was not good enough obviously.  But second guessing the coaching at this point is silly.  We are all experts at hindsight.  We freakin lost Peppers and Butt but still fought back to take the lead with 2 minutes left!  Offense just couldn't execute well enough.

We will be back.  The future is bright.  I totally feel the pain with everyone else.  I've felt this many times over the past 40+ years following the Maize n Blue.

Looking forward to seeing our final class for '17 and planning on heading to Dallas to see us beat Florida in September.

GO BLUE!!

The initial offensive game plan was awful. Not getting TDs early in the red zone did not help. 2nd half adjustments worked well. The D game plan was fine. They had some big plays that changed the game.

against the Clowney clone please???

After the Missing Years, I fortified my ability to stomach painful Michigan losses. Now with back to back 10 win seasons and the three losses this year coming on either the last play of the game or this BS, I've got to say that things are looking up.

I disagree with most of the negative comments. Trust in Harbaugh. Sure we could have done X, Y, or Z but whatever. Some of this is just random luck too. I hope you all realize that. You think Jimbo had a weird special teams play where the guy fakes like he doesn't know wtf is going on when he fields the kickoff then bust off 60 yards. Unfortunate.

We are what we are. 8-4 year in year out. Harbaugh won't save us.

Not that the offense could have moved the ball.

Msu last year punter shit his pants. Osu this year Barrett was short. This game Glasgow missed the tackle. None of that is on the coaches.

If they keep Speight as a starter next year after seeing how he did at the end of this season, I'll be upset. So what if he makes the throws in practice. He doesn't do it in the important games against the good teams. As a matter of fact he is fucking terrible. So you have to look to the future. No need to throw away the next two years with him starting. Mark my words. He'll never win the games that really matter. He just doesn't have the physical ability and talent. Reminds me of Joe Bolden situation all over again. State street player I think they call it.

Too much manball up the gut when EVERYBODY knew we needed speed on the edge, a la Evans. Offensive game plan was poor and poorly executed. I don't remember a single deep throw. Harbaugh should have used TOs on the FSU TD drive, not with 30 seconds left. That was just dickish.

I mean Saban lost on the kick 6 which can be attributed to a coaching issue. We need a good OL and good qb which he had at Stanford and we win all 3 games easily.

Drevno needs to go. Not giving Panda a chance on the 1 yard after the muff punt was stupid, followed by the next red zone play calls as well. If we had Peppers, I'm sure we would have gotten the ol' pepper cat for no gains too in some of these drives as well. 

Pretty rough play calling. It seemed that we got a little smarter in the 2nd half, but this loss is entirely on the Oline. When you can't protect your QB, give him more than 0.00005 seconds to make his reads, and can't open a seam for the RBs, it's pretty much all on them. Can't even blame the coaches for plays when the Oline gives them no options

Baffled at the route combos, in particular when Hill was out wide and 2 TE's ran virtually same route in middle of field. Hill scores by he has great hands and is 4th option. Play calling from this NFL batch of dudes for most of the year was puzzling.
