I would love to ask for the head coach's head after this.....f#$king debacle. But the bottom line is you cannot miss FOUR field goals in a game and expect to win. You miss one? Bad luck. You miss two? Bad day. You miss FOUR???? Get your scholarship revoked and see if we can apply for a fifth year for Teggart.....God help me.....:mad:

I only remember 1 of those field goals being blocked. I've also commented (maybe it was on another thread) that I cannot believe that we still can't establish the run, so I have laid plenty on the OLine this year and this game. But he has to make one of those kicks. Period. This is the equivalent of a QB throwing 4 picks. One pick, you can understand. Two, okay, it's a bad day. But if our QB threw 4 picks today, everybody on this forum would be all over the kid like white on rice. So why isn't it the same for the kicker again??

WTF does that mean? A different coach would have this team at 6 or 7 wins. Or whatever you think it should be? You're dreaming. The team doesn't have the talent to do that no matter the coach or scheme.

Who do you think works with the players all week? A different set of coaches lol.

These guys are responsible for every success or failure. It's that simple.

You still don't get it. Buddy. These coaches cooked the chicken shit. They get to eat it. It's 100% on them.

And please don't tell me they are doing everything they can with what they have. I swear we ran the ball 40 times in the second half. They don't even learn. Buddy.

Griffin/Phillips/Smith/Davis are all pretty good. We could have Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson out there and they would not have success with this playcalling.

I don't know Scooby, but even a could see that the passing game was the ticket when our QB had oh, like 150 yards passing in the 1st quarter alone.

But not dummy Deleone, who has never had even a top 70 offense in his entire career.

How do you them apples buddy? Maybe you should go munch on chicken shit sandwich with P and D and try to find a clue.

Griffin/phillips/smith and davis were all used in the first quarter and looked great, then Deleone came back from the bathroom and it went down hill.

We would still hand the ball off 40 times in the second half trying to nurse a one score lead.

This sequence is a great example of the wildcat killing momentum. That's on GDL.

1st-10, CONN33 1:45 M. DeLorenzo rushed up the middle for 1 yard gain
2nd-9, CONN34 1:19 C. Whitmer passed to S. Phillips to the right for 10 yard gain
1st-10, CONN44 0:49 C. Whitmer incomplete pass to the left
2nd-10, CONN44 0:25 C. Whitmer rushed up the middle for 3 yard loss
4th Quarter

Connecticut continued
3rd-13, CONN41 15:00 C. Whitmer passed to S. Phillips to the left for 17 yard gain
1st-10, TEM42 15:00 C. Whitmer incomplete pass to the left
2nd-10, TEM42 14:47 C. Whitmer passed to J. Delahunt to the left for 14 yard gain
1st-10, TEM28 14:31 M. DeLorenzo rushed to the left for 7 yard gain
2nd-3, TEM21 13:55 S. McCummings rushed up the middle for 3 yard loss
3rd-6, TEM24 13:40 C. Whitmer incomplete pass down the middle
4th-6, TEM24 13:10 C. Christen missed a 42-yard field goal

Exactly. We might have Gronkowski Jr. sitting here unused past the first quarter in Griffin. They are the same size, and Griffin averages 18 yards a catch. 25% of his catches are for TDs. As far as statistical averages go, Griffin is a better college TE than Gronkowski was. Unfortunately, Griffin is stuck in an inept offense.

Actually, that's absolutely wrong. Our second half breakdown of run to pass plays was 13 to 19. In other words, we threw the ball six times more in the second half!

If you want to say that the series of plays prior to their last touchdown was five rushes in a row in order to kill the clock, you would be correct. But let's not forget that the drive was killed not by the rushing, but by a BLOCKED FIELD GOAL!! So if we are going to bash them, let's at least be accurate as to what we are bashing them for...

If only games were one quarter long. You ignore the fact that there's another coaching staff that makes adjustments. Look I am not a P or D supporter but it gets tiring to read post after post about how a different oaching staff would make this team appreciably better. I don't see the overall talent especially on O to show me that this team is a conference challenger. I predicted 6 wins at the start of the season largely because of the unknowns on O. I can agree that this staff is too quick to sit on a lead but I think they have no confidence in or QB not throwing it to the other team to let them open it up all game.
 
Good point. Of course it makes perfect sense to settle for long field goal when your kicker has been having such a great week.

Know your players.

Know your players??? Couldn't the same be said about a QB who has thrown for double-digit INT's this year and taking the game out of his hands to try to go up by two scores late in the 4th??? Isn't that "knowing your players"???

It is what it is. I'll forgive Chad; he's just a young man who had a ridiculously bad day. One that I'm sure he'll never forget. But it's just not fair to say that PP is responsible for this one. He's responsible for a lot of other things, but not for the loss today...

But a different coaching staff would also make adjustments to match the other teams adjustments....at least thats what a halfway decent staff would do.
 
How many TDs did Whitmer throw today? how many INTs?

Christen is a good player, but today they asked too much of him. Do we seriously not have one other player who can kick a 27 yarder?


The head coach is responsible for every success or failure. He signed up for this, it is what it is.

Are some people actually saying coach PP and Deleone should keep their jobs? I've watched a lot of football and can clearly state that they are by far the worst head coach and offensive coordinator duo I've seen.

Dan knowing your players is actually a fair statement. Joe D inmhis post game show, said that Chad was having a tough week kicking and Thursday the training wheels came off at practice. We were not there of course but if this accurate then how else do u call this??????

If a coach goes for it on fourth down when he has a chance to put himself up two scores with a 35 yarder, then THAT'S when I would want to fire him! What the hell do you want him to do? Go for it on fourth down in an overtime situation???

There is plenty of things to put on Coach P this year, but this game ain't one of them...

I wasn't referring to the OT, I was referring to the 45 yrder and also the horrible punt that turned into a touchback. In OT it was already too late unfortunately.

I always cheer for Uconn to win, but I had a feeling we were going to lose this game... Temple is a good team because of Addazio and the teams lost came to Penn State and Maryland! I doubt we beat Syracuse or any other team left in the conference! #FirePP!
Expand ...

Nope. Sorry. Temple is not a good team. Just like our other losses, they are not a GOOD team. They are barely mediocre. But we SUCK. So they won.
0-for-four? Really? You leave that shaky Granny in there to kick again? Why?

What a debaucle. I am Charlie Brown. I keep coming back for more, but Lucy Pasqualoni and her sister Georgia DeLeone keep yanking the ball out at the last minute. This is disgusting.

I agree with the fire PP. I think that FatCat Burton may have been right. Maybe Pasqualoni was a bad choice.....sure makes him seem like he saw this coming. Was Phil Fulmer a better choice? At this point, Elmer Fudd is a better choice. We STINK, STANK, STUNK week after week under Pasqualoni and DeLeone's "play to barely win" offense.

Horrible, reprehensible football being played here at UCONN. A true tragedy. I'm sickened by these past two seasons and waiting for Paul to talk about "executing" doesn't make it any better. Go away, Paul. You've broken this team beyond repair.
 
It's on the coaches period.

Either they are not preparing the team properly or they are misjudging the players they are bringing in.

Either way it is on the coaching staff.

The only good thing about today is that this loss may have opened up Wardes eyes (even more) to the problems of the football program. He at least will have to strongly consider at change at years end.
