Casteel and the 3-3-5 need to go, although like DMJ said, RR can stay
That's why Greg Byrne makes the big bucks

GB isn't going to do shit about this defense. Grow a brain. Its RR call and you know the answer.

At least we only have one more miserable half to sit through.
Personally I hope RRod sits Anu out of the bowl game. I am concerned that he may be done with football completely if he takes another hit and gets concussed. I would let Dawkins use the bowl game as a 2nd spring practice session and see what he can do.

Re: Game 12, at ASU: The Territorial Cup (2015)
That creates a conundrum. With Scooby gone I don't think we can win with this defense. If you can't win games then you might as well get rid of Rich, even though probably 90% of us would like to keep him.Gladiator Cat wrote:GB isn't going to do shit about this defense. Grow a brain.

Obviously you're being facetious with Smart, but I'm confident that $700,000 can buy us a great up and coming DC.
Re: Game 12, at ASU: The Territorial Cup (2015)

I would be happy if we just STOP running TEMPO on offense in the 2nd half. Shorten the game God Dammit so our suffering ends sooner.
The scum had 400 yards offense in the 1st half.......I don't want to see 600 yards offense from them in the 2nd half.

Re: Game 12, at ASU: The Territorial Cup (2015)
So if results matter, what happened last year? Should we have locked RR/Casteel into multi year extensions? And then this year, of course we break those contracts to hire a new coach. Maybe a hot shot with no experience but who had a great year.Salty wrote:Welcome to division I football, where results matter.TuiTouchdown wrote:You guys are really reactionary.

Re: Game 12, at ASU: The Territorial Cup (2015)
Understand the situation of what Gladiator said. Byrnes isn't going to go down that road and force RR to make the call of what to do with Defensive Staff. That RR choices if he feel that the defense can improve under Casteel that they can improve with everyone back being healthy then so be it, but if has another injury prone like how this season and defense doesn't improve then he will make that call. But for now RR isn't going to make a change unless he is force to make a change.Salty wrote:If Byrne wants a better job, he needs to oversee marked improvements in the football programGladiator Cat wrote:GB isn't going to do shit about this defense.

It used to be not miserable when we would play asu, but now it is.
If you want to defend our program and the trajectory of this defense, be my guest. The reality is that this program will not have any sort of improvement without a significant change in the approach, culture, and scheme of the defense.

Still more than enough to hang 31 on us in the first half, which is sad/pathetic more than anything else.

FWIW Dawkins doing a good job out there. Definitely moving the ball better than Randall which surprises me.
Re: Game 12, at ASU: The Territorial Cup (2015)
if you ever feel bad about our program, salty, you can always rest assured that you're not fuegs and this isn't ku football: 12-58 since the mangino years... and their road losing streak is what, 37 now? haven't won on the road since the 2009 preseason to a conf usa team.

I respectfully disagree........how we lose is important.

Re: Game 12, at ASU: The Territorial Cup (2015)
In my mind this game is completely on the offense! The defense can only do so much.
