The OC is a complete failure. A change needs to be made immediately

I've seen one inexcusable play call and of course that stupid PA "fake" on every 3rd and long.
 
I'd be cool with the entire staff getting axed at this point.

I'm not a "FIRE EVERYONE" type of person after a loss, but my God, this program is absolute garbage right now.
 
Its one thing to not execute, its another thing to just set your team up to fail.

There will be the excuse of SR getting injured, but let's be real. We've seen enough of mess to know he's just not a good OC fit for our program
 
He can hide behind the Richardson injury and buy himself another week.
 
"Coach, they're pulling their safeties way up. What should we do?"

"Lets go deep once and see what happens"

20 seconds later

"Coach! It worked! And they're still pulling their safeties up. What should we do?"

"RUN!!!!!"
 
I'm calling in on Monday telling CPR that if he doesn't do something drastic in the off season with his coaching staff, namely Mess, he is going to start losing fan support and buildup for recruiting of both players and fans. This offense cannot sustain drives that will be successful in the B12, while the D does well but can only carry so much of the weight. I love the guy but his head is so far up his *** right now.

I guarantee you we will hear the injury excuses from the coaches. Sam got hurt. Knott was out. Wimberly was out. And so on.

They've been using that excuse all year long. I'm beginning to wonder if we're now holding guys out on purpose so we can use that excuse?

Season ticket sales will be down 6-9k next year. The talent will be too young to play physical enough again.
 
I'm really interested in seeing how CPR handles this after the season is over. The offense is an absolute failure, we can't run it. It's crystal clear to everybody watching the team.

Will he choose stubborness/loyalty over what's best for the program?
 
I really hate our Offense. It loses game after game for us. Without Knott and Klein our defense has been bad. The early wins under this Coaching staff have given it the false impression that it may be working.
 
At this point, the injuries are so bad, and we are so depleted I am not sure what Mess could really do. We just don't have a chance right now guys. You can't run you backup freshmen QB and basically a freshmen and sophomore O line versus a defense that is loaded with seniors and juniors. It just isn't going to work.

That said, Mess still is not the guy to get it done. I mean the called QB keeper on 3rd and 8 in the first half...really? Come on. Offense just has so many problems it needs new management.
 
Another horribly called game by Mess. I love how little we took shots down field when we had the wind at our backs. Also really stupid calling that option on 3rd and 10 in the first quarter to try and run out the clock so we could punt with the wind at our backs. OSU ended up calling the timeout so that didn't happen.
 
There's no point in rehashing all of it again. There's nothing more to do here. It's like re-chalking the outline of the body at the crime scene. So unprepared and not ready to play. Horrendous execution from the skill guys on a day where the OL actually played pretty well. Right out of the gate, it's missed throws, dropped passes, pick-6s, followed by multiple fumbles, which resulted in points. Horrible day by the receivers and QBs. It's officially a throwaway season at this point, so wer'e down to getting the underclassmen some experience and hope to not embarrass ourselves.
