Bye Tuiaki. Bye Grimes. Bye Sitake. Bye Holmoe. They should all go.
Clean sweep. Agree. Won't happen. Sitake will be back next season. Not until there is a loss in substantial revenue or a controversy will there be a change.

This was a bad loss. USF hasn't beaten a d1 program not named UCONN in a year. This loss was inexcusable.

This loss DOES suck ... we were a couple plays away from a win.
With Toledo, we were a couple of plays away from a win.

Someone said we are 2 plays away from being 0-6 ... we are also maybe 4 plays away from being 4-2.

I don't see many coaching changes coming right now ... so we might as well adjust our blue goggles and press on ...

I love the optimism. I don’t have it in me.

USF and Toledo are not the kind of teams good teams play close games with. There isn’t a silver lining to playing them to a close loss.

I don’t worry about a bad season. I wonder how committed the program is to winning.

I'm with you. I'm not a Grimes fan. I wasnt a fan of the hire in the first place. But that'll be the excuse. I feel.like the Oline has improved, but I'm not sure it has improved that much to tolerate his playcalling, which seems to be basically throwing darts at a board on 3rd and short.

this isn't the O-line's fault. 6 rushers, 5 blockers. It IS a problem that nobody saw him. RG and RT perhaps should have come down and left an outside rush open, but it depends on the blocking scheme ... either way one man is not going to be blocked. THIS is why the big splits can be a problem ... especially with an empty set. Empty set means it will be a pass (not a lot of rushing options ... QB draw, or sweep). If you keep the QB in the pocket, and they rush more men than you have to block, this is what happens.
