What's wrong with Diaco?
-He must dismiss Cummings in the offseason. He does nothing for recruiting and moreover, has done nothing but regress with this offense.
-Diaco will need a selling point for next season's fan base - and that has to be a new offensive coordinator.
-Stop cuddling the players and cheering mediocre play. Its time to show angry Diaco. Baby time is over.
-Stop with the expanded player rotation - particularly on offense at the skill positions within the game itself. A firmer pecking order would suit everyone better for a host of reasons, but mostly because it would set clear expectations for all players about playing time. 5 snaps for everyone doesnt allow anyone to get better. If you want to test your players, give them entire games or 3/4 of a game rather than one or two series.
-In my opinion he has bent too far backwards trying to spark this team by playing freshman. I think he's playing freshman as a recruiting sell and that might work, but it has consequences such as a lack of a cohesive pecking order and continuity which would/should improve the team's performance.
-What the hell happened with leaning heavy on Geremy Davis? Injured or not, the decision by Cummings to play down Davis has been a great waste. For two seasons he gave defenses something to plan for...now?
-Stop with the heavy TE set and screen passes to wide receivers. Our TE cannot block and our screen passes are no threat to anyone and clearly obvious when called.
-I'll admit, I dont have the time, but it would be fun to watch the final three games of last year to remember what TJ Weist was doing vs Diaco/Cummings. They actually had 20 yd pass plays last year and offensive product that exceed my body weight.
Unrelated comments:
- Next year is all about Sherrifs and the new kid from Long Island. I love Boyle's in state story, but he's shown nothing that says he can play G5 football. Nothing. Sorry. Sheriff's cant be less accurate and at least he has wheels.
- Next year is also all about Diaco's kids on the O-line: Everyone but the great Dane need to go. Crozier showed a little something. Hopkins, Rutherford, Oak, Crozier and the Dane.
- Defense - I've watch a lot of opposing teams create obvious mismatches putting tall WR and TEs on our linebackers for huge gains. Diaco needs to do a better job avoiding obvious mismatches. Two plays I saw coming before the snap this season where the back to back big throws for BYU where their WR was matched up with Stewart. Conversely, our QBs need to get a clue how to recognize the same opportunities.
I'm ready to quit, but you cant....you have to keep trying.
