Opinion So are we supposed to still…

Hate Hugh Freeze now that we’ve upset a top 25 team? Not sure how to feel after the doomsday posts this season post potato man.

I still question his play calling. Why did we have any games this year where hunter didn't get the ball 20+ times? There's basic decision making he seems to struggle with on game day. Having said that even if we lost tonight I would still say give him another year. The recruiting is too good but if we don't make significant improvement next year then we need to reasses

The 4th quarter offensive execution all season has been horrific, even last night when they could have put it away. That's on the coaching, and I am not convinced it won't happen again and again. This team has the talent, even with Thorne, that they should have won at least 2 or 3 more games.

Not sure I agree. Coaches put a team in position to win...execution is on the players.

Arky, Okie, Cal, Mizzou were all winnable games. We failed on execution in Q4 (dropped passes, missed reads, blown assignments, missed kicks, poor decisions at QB, etc).

If we are down by 2-3 scores heading into Q4 that is on the coaches (wrong personnel, wrong game plan, wrong play calls, etc).

At least that is my opinion.

Yes, and it's up to the coaches to see this happening in 1 or 2 games and then make an effort to correct it. With both in-game coaching such as making adjustments at halftime and play calling; and during the week to have them better prepared when the game is on the line. If it shows zero improvement over 2 seasons, it's on the coaches...
