My apologies as I have nothing to contribute here as I could not attend the game, but I was looking to see what some of you thought about the coaching vs SUU. This was our first look at some new members on the staff and from what I have read on the board and what I see on the stat sheet there is much left for wanting. I expected adjustments at halftime, were there any? Thanks in advance.

No. None.

Incomplete grade. We will see if they turn in their homework and study for next weeks test.

Defense played well and played even better in the second half.
The offense played poorly and played even more poorly in the second half. If there were any offensive adjustments, they made things worse, not better.
Special teams improved as the game went on.

Offense : F-
Defense: A
Special Teams: I

Based purely on coaching (not on player performance):
Offense: F
Special teams: F
Defense: B

What about the special teams coaching was F grade worthy? I didn't see the game, but players made some good plays, which is often done only when coaches teach them up well and make calls to put them in the right positions. I know punting left a lot to be desired, but all of our points were scored on special teams, so it's hard to see why you would give them an F. Really I'm just curious if I missed something that could be seen at the game.

Not sure how you give special teams an F when they scored 12 all points.

A troll doctorate? I feel like I'm missing some really important letters from my fan board moniker. Does a fan board count for earning an online degree?

I frequent an online forum for trombone players that lists its members as something from the range of pianissimo to fortissimo depending on how many posts they have. The mods could implement a system like that here and you can become a doctor after getting to a certain number of posts.... Is that close enough?

Here's how special teams gets an F. Because it's based on coaching. First of all, our punting was absolutely horrendous. Then, on our coaching on punt teams was absolutely horrible. We never gave any pressure whatsoever. Why is it that teams never pressure the punter anymore? It's frustrating. The punter had so much time that he would hold the ball for a few seconds, then punt it. And his punts were long. Far superior than our punter. The only time we made an adjustment on punting was when we ran it back for a touchdown. The punter didn't have time to wait, and he had to rush it, meaning we finally had time to make a move because their whole team hadn't already gotten downfield already. If we would have done that long ago, it would have been much better for us.

The blocked PAT and kick return were on the players. Not the coach.

The one adjustment you said they made was to put pressure on the punter, and it resulted in our only touchdown. Your analysis was pretty decent, but your grading deserves an F.

So...I'm guessing your PhD wasn't in football.

An F would indicate everything was a fail. Even if you argue that punting was a fail, there are several different special teams(that little s at the end of "team" indicates that there is more than one Dr.) Defending field goals/extra points is a different special team, receiving punts is a different special team, etc. Fine, give the punting team(coaches) an F, but what would you say about kickoff or punt return teams? Also an F? You are laughable. I shouldn't expect less from a Dr. though.

Simon, a little advise: lose the alphabet soup title. Your "Phd" carries no weight around here---unless it is in football---which it obviously is not.

Are you stupid? There is no such thing as a PhD in football.

I'm not changing anything.
