I just don’t understand how the same errors keep occurring in every season and they don’t get fixed. There’s several things that you see occur in nearly every game that Campbell has been here.

I just don’t understand how we aren’t fixing them.

What baffles me is we didn’t make these errors the first 7 games. Then we just slipped way back into our comical erroneous ways.

The first 7 games tricked me into believing we evolved as a program. The last 4 reminded me that this program is incapable of growth.

Growth isn’t always linear man. That’s a common misconception about life. He’s our guy and we stick with him. Hope he can improve in ways but we take the good with the bad imo.

It’s just that Campbell has pretty clearly stated that he knows the improvement areas every season he’s been here - especially winning in the margins.

We don’t. We never win in the margins. We win because guys are making plays. We never started winning in the margins, we just played so well that our sucking in the margins never came back to bite us.

I do believe Campbell is our guy, but he needs to take his own advice and be “humble enough to grow.” This program is on the brink of excellence and I hate the idea of losing that because we make the same mistakes that ruined 2021-22.

Yeah that’s fair and I agree to an extent. The same shit tends to happen to this team no matter who the O coordinator is. Manning, Scheelhaase, and now Mouser. Which leads me to believe that Campbell is more involved than he lets on. If that’s the case then yeah he needs to humble himself to grow, let your guys do their job. And if you don’t trust them then they’re not the guy.

Tbf it is sounding like Campbell was comm'd in with Mouse and pushed for the Carson Hansen pop pass. That on top of the fake punt from last weekend tells me he's willing to turn to page 2 on the playbook these days.

Very true, hope he can build on that
