The view from Section 241 ia absolutely unacceptable. Period. Really, I should end the post here.
What more is there to say. The QB play isn’t good enough. I’ve supported Zergiotis, and god knows he isn’t getting help from his line, but the inaccuracy and horrific decision making isn’t good enough. The play of the OL is a joke. I don’t know which is worse — that they seemed unable to win physical battles, or the number of times people got in Jack Zergiotis’s face untouched because they couldn’t remember who to block. I admire Mensah’s consistency and length of time in the program but as I’ve said for years — he can make the right read but he doesn’t make folks miss and he doesn’t run out of arm tackles. The defense wasn’t god awful for most of the game, but they came out unprepared to start the game and giving up a 75 years on QB keeper up the middle on a key third and 2 is not just unacceptable but bizarre. And worse, this team doesn’t want to fight through adversity —they want to quit in its face. When HC gave up the fumble at their 2 with a backup QB and the quick 14 points, they didn’t wilt and go away. They fought through it.
I’ve said for 20 years that players win and lose games, not coaches. I still believe that. I was shocked that there wasn’t a QB change after the third turnover, but we don’t see practices. {I’d be shocked, however, if we don’t see another QB next week.). But we’re now five years into HCRE II and he’s responsible. The results are unacceptable. The product on the field is unwatchable. It no longer matters why. His fault, BEnefict’s fault, the state of CT’s fault, doesn’t matter. He is dead man walking at this point. We all know he won’t be here next year. I leave to Benedict whether it’s better for the program to axe him now or wait until towards the end of the season, but he won’t be back and we’ll be starting again. Good luck keeping the upcoming recruiting class together whether he stays or leaves.
Is it possible for our program to come back from three straight failed hires? Emotionally I say no. I think I’m done. I can’t imagine spending the week begging someone to come with me next week to see us get blown out. I’d rather watch Tottenham at 7:30 and then go out and play golf. Intellectually, if Temple can have decent football when they make the right hire programs can get back to decent, entertaining football. But I’ll have to see it to believe it
It is impossible for me to understand how a team can go from a middling Yankee Conference team to the Fiesta Bowl in 10 years, and now this. But now we are this.
Would the last person to leave the Boneyard please turn the lights off? If I’m not the last one.
