Topic: Never going to accomplish anything noteworthy

[goherd24]

With Doc. I really hate him.

[MUther]

I just wish they'd go outside the accepted norms of coaching sometimes.  It's ok to break with tradition and go for it on a 4th and 1 in the first quarter past midfield.  It's ok to go for the win instead of the tie.  He's been coach long enough to develop a style and he still looks like he's reading from a manual on how to be a coach.

[FlyHawk98]

Hate to say it, but I agree.

It's time for a change. Doc has done a good job of rebuilding the program from the Snyder years, but he has taken us as far as he is EVER going to take us.

[QuickStrike]

One thing to be losing.  Another thing to be embarrassed.  Fire Doc.  We can do better.

Marshall has the best winning percentage of any cfb team and has won ten games each of the last three years.  I'd say that is noteworthy.

They ahould refund everyones ticket cost and send all the fans a check for gas, for this embarrassment. This staff is among the worst in the nation.

Such a damn shame that they dont even prepare these kids and give them a chance to succeed on the field.

Weight our win % against sagarin, hell Sturt probably already did that in his spare time, and see what you come up with.   You could count all wins above rank 100 as losses and we'd have a losing record over the last three years.  That's how many cupcakes we've played.  That's obviously hyperbole for the anal retentive statisticians around here as I didn't check the actual numbers, but I'd bet it's not that far fetched.

We play in a crap league and pad wins with FCS teams to boot. It is what it is. We sure as hell won't be moving up or going anywhere. We are a CUSA lifer. Enjoy!

 Sick of seeing us go througg the motions. We come out and just seem to want to do whatever gets us back on the bus faster. No gameplan to speak of, vanilla offense and defense. No blitzes, handing the ball off when pitts secondary is KNOWN GARBAGE, running olays designed to get 5 yards when you need 10, punting 4th and inches down 20, running the clock out with a minute to go before half instead of throwing it.


Its a damn shame.

BG donations are gone, and i don't know if ill be back to the joan again until changes are made. Legg or Doc. Legg goes or doc needs to go.

Honestly, I can't believe that any school, at any level, anywhere, would hire coaches whose primary philosophy is "play to lose by as few as possible"... Never take a chance. Always be super conservative, even to the point of looking like a complete idiot.
Doc, you can't score when you don't have the ball.  Hey, Doc, you can't score unless you at least TRY..  There are not a lot of accidental points out there in college football.

We are in a terribly weak conference.  Will we compete?  I wonder...  Football is no longer fun.
I'll keep hoping but don't know how things can change with legg and Holiday....   Our only hope is that every opponent is among the worst football teams in the nation.

Balance.

Our coaching salaries are middle to worse of CUSA. We are lucky to keep what we have now.

Those who they no we belong in higher conference are delusional at best and misinformed as well.

So, which coaches are you referring to?

Something about this thread reminds me... anyone heard from field pass in awhile?

I can't agree with you yet. This isn't the best Herd team ever, but except for a few games, it is still more Herd-like than anything under Snyder and I don't think they should be lumped together. I do miss the 90's Herd-style football, where you never knew what might happen:

"Will they on-sides kick the opening kickoff? Will that guy play with a broken leg? We're only down 30, I think we can still win this thing (and the team did too)."

Runnin', gunnin' and taking chances is Herd football. I would love to see us playing to win, and believing we can do it, no matter the situation. I would like to see better clock management when a loss is likely, but guaranteed if you don't save time even up into the 3rd quarter. That said, Doc has done a good job bringing us back closer to what Herd football should be after the dark years of Snyder. I think he has earned the right to keep going and show what he can do. The Herd is winning (overall, not talking about the beginning of this season) and going to bowls. It ain't pitchfork time yet guys.

Seriously 24. Go for it, you whiny little b!+(h. No one will miss your constant ranting.

One thing for sure, this game, at least the first half, showed how deceiving "statistics" can be.  Heinz scoreboard flashed stats at halftime, when we're down 27-0, I believe. 

We had 3 first downs, and total yardage favored Pitt by almost 4-1.  Yet, per scoreboard, Herd had possession for 19+minutes while Pitt only had it for 10+.  Almost 2 to 1, but with our ultra conservative playing calling, we ate up a lot of clock. 27 points down, and our offensive tempo never really was in a "hurry up" mode.  In last few minutes of game, every play we ran, it seemed, Litton checked once, maybe twice with sideline, clapped hands once, maybe twice, and then waited several more seconds for the snap.  35 second clock down to under 15, even under 10, about every play.  No sense of urgency, it seemed.  Back to first half time of possession, it was almost like our plan was to slow the game down, use up the clock on offense, knowing Pitt could not score if we ran the clock down and kept the ball.  Seems coaches figured our D couldn't stop them from scoring and scoring quickly, so lets try keeping the ball.

I went to every home game from 1961-1983 and we had one winning season.You guys do not know what losing means.I bitch and complain every game we play lousy,but in the end I will come back to cheering for the Herd.I plan on being down for the FAU game before I Have hip surgery.Keep cheering and things will get bette eventually.
