UCLA--Was down 32. Now down BY 3!

UCLA was averaging 14 points a game coming into this one so don't pretend like they were lighting the world on fire.

My bigger concern is that we keep handing the ball off out of the shotgun without any threat of the QB to run. A fullback who can't dodge anyone and can only power forward is going to lose yards in that situation if the defense assumes the QB is not a threat to run. 

It feels like Harbaugh hired a chef with great recipes to run his offense, and instead of getting out of the kitchen and letting Gattis cook, Harbaugh keeps stepping in and adding his own seasonings to Gattis's recipes. You can't throw in little bits of something you like and expect it to work just because it has been good for you in the past.

You are a sick man!  For the record there is a such person as a halfback coach!  Secondly, there is also a such thing as a QB coach!  Sorry Einstein but the offensive coordinator that is not calling FULLBACK/DE on two to the right is NOT $&&:)$ responsible for that IDIOTIC call!  You figure out who called that play and get back with me!

It was a bad playcall from the outset - not likely he could've succeeded on it, fumble aside.

I would have been okay with that play if it had been out of the I formation.

That was not goal line.  The overall decision to plow Ben Mason out of the shotgun from 8 yards out screams incoherence.  This team's problem is incoherent leadership across the board.

True statement, never thought he would just start fumbling though. Its not always the coaches fault. Sorry Ben, i love you but hold on to the damn ball.

We get could leach for cheaper and he gives more impressive press conferences. I think the point is if we’re going to look like shit we can do it for much less than 7.5-9 million for a slightly above average coach. 

WSU historically is much worse than Stanford.

Stanford has the #4 record all time in PAC (USC, UCLA, Washington ).

WSU has the 2nd worst of long time members (only Oregon St. worse).

The difficulty of winning at Stanford has been greatly exaggerated. Yes it was a turnaround, but thats a world famous school with tons of resources located in a big metropolitan area which produces plenty of talent. They can also recruit nationally due to their fame and reputation.

Meanwhile Wazzu is a provincial state school located in a geographically isolated small city in an area that produces very little talent. You need to pull kids out of SoCal, Texas, and sell them on what’s essentially a FCS environment. Leach has won 31 games since 2016, thats one more than Harbaugh at Michigan.

Thats not to say Harbaughs results are terrible, but what Leach did at Wazzu has cemented his status as one of the great coaches of his generation. And of course his offensive approach has been massively influential on the whole sport. (I know Hal Mumme came up with it first but Leach popularized it and developed it further).

So is continuing to pay Jim Harbaugh for not delivering any meaningful results.
