100% coaching

Especially after a by week. There should have been plenty of time to work on Red Zone execution. As well as try to suss out what hasn’t been working over the last two games and make changes.

I realize that what we are seeing is exactly what Whitt wanted and was the inevitable conclusion of his 12 years of revolving OC’s. But it’s also the only possible conclusion of his limited rolodex and unwillingness to go outside his own comfort level.

Saban was considered as having reached his plateau as a coach even though he’d won NC’s already at Alabama. What did he do? He turned his 1990’s offense over to Lane Kiffin and then Sarkisian and all of a sudden became the GOAT of college coaches. The only truism of college football is that if you aren’t innovating, you are falling behind.

We have a 13 year play caller serving as a offensive analyst. You could easily put the play calling duties in his hand because it can’t get much worse than it already is.

one of the biggest parts of in-game coaching is making sure you have the right personnel to do what you are asking of them. That includes the QB. No one is faulting Rising’s desire to be in the game. It is up to the staff to recognize whether he gives the team the best chance to win.

So the real question becomes “was Rising the best option?” And if the answer is yes, the follow up is “why wasn’t there an acceptable option behind him?”
