Just curious about what you think will be the main factors in those losses?
Offense - Can't.... run/pass/convert 1st dwns/score td's?
Defense - Can't stop run/pressure qb/cover wrs?
Special teams?
Penalties?
Coaching?
We just aren't as good / talented / deep as them
We can't play on the road?
If you don't mind?
I've said this before...
John can't coach. He's a tactician, not a strategist.
There was never more evidence than after last year's Tulsa game. I listened to the post game coaches interviews. The Tulsa coach opened up with, "We knew if we could stop their running game, they'd be forced to pass. Then their defense couldn't stop us."
That is strategy.
John opened his press conference with, "They have good players."
That's tactics.
Every coach wants good players. John doesn't know what to do with them. There's no gameplan. No strategy. Just recruit better players and somehow, magically, things will work out.
You can buy into that if you want to.
It's also beyond me, why most of you think the defense will be significantly better this year.
On this board, I see a Marshall-centric mind-think. "We got...We got...We got..." Well, the others got too.
Again. 6-6. John can't coach. Even in a diluted CUSA/Sunbelt. And I've been pretty accurate calling his record.
Tear me to shreds.
