Unbelievable. They tackle our receiver, no call.
We dive for their RB and he steps out of bounds at the last minute while LeBeau is in the air and its a PF?

CJ OUGHT TO SUSPEND HIMSELF FOR THE NEXT GAME. PISS POOR EVERYTHING.

I wish we would see more intensity from CJ. Even if you have no clue, at least LOOK like you do. College football is an emotional game. Get more intense. Show that you're pissed when the refs screw up a call or a player makes a bonehead play. You're not Tom Landry out there. The silent treatment won't work with today's kids.sader24 wrote:It's called the look of "I'm in Way Over My Head and I Have No Idea What's Going On".

Donations pays for everything. No school funds athletics out of their general fund beyond a subsidy to balance the books.

CJ isn't some 35 year old whiz with a tremendous amount of talent and aptitude that has to figure some stuff out. He's in his 50's and been at every level, if he doesn't have it yet, he's not finding it. His best bet is to fire his defensive coordinators and bring in a guy who has it and basically let him run the team while he recruits. I don't think that'll work b/c we don't have the money to bring someone in like that, but this setup isn't working.tpstulane wrote:We're not there yet.

This year still feels like 5-7 to me. Which was in the region of 5-7/7-5 that most predicted.
BS, we haven't come up with any of the money for the stadium, its all donations. We are paying CJ $600K which is absurd for a Div 1 Football Coach. The University still hasn't proven they are willing to invest in the football program or basketball program.
How do you think we were going to pay any big time coaches salary if we were going to get one? It's all just moving one pile of donations to another.
I had us 5-7 and that looks like a stretch now. I'm watching N. Texas and they are a better football team than us. I had us beating them. Don't see that now.sader24 wrote:ULM might beat us by 1000. Maybe 4-8 this year if we're lucky. I can't tell where those 2 wins are coming from either. It's not ULM or North Texas.
Be proactive, being reactive is for losers..

So, who's got the guts to go to NOHSC on Wednesday night and ask CCJ why he doesn't show more intensity and why the same mistakes are being made over and over? What's being done to change it?

Jacquet looks no better than Uz.

At some point these lineman need to look inside and find some heart. I just don't see it right now.

Syracuse with 8 men in the box, and we still can't find an open receiver.

But I can't help but go back to what I keep trying to stress in that back at the time there were those who were running around looking to assure one and all that "this is going to be different..." and that TU was for once ready and willing with a wide-open checkbook.
Ergo, if you say, as you insist that this time you definitely were going to be bringing in, Curtis Johnson is The Coach Who Is Going To Do Big Things at TU and that now things truly are different w/r/t TU's commitment to win games then you pay him accordingly. And then also if the team doesn't win he's out with no time being wasted.
The truth=regardless of the talk not much has changed. Same so-so commitment to winning. Same cheapskate approach to paying coaches and then probably also the same notions w/r/t holding onto a coaching regime through the length of the contract. The people doing all of the "this time is going to be different..." talk at the time were either knowingly telling a falsehood or else didn't have a clue.
