  This loss is 100% on coaching. Bad decisions. Poor play calling. Not adjusting. Not having defensive players prepared and in the right positions.

  How crazy is it that our red zone offense seemingly gets worse each week? We had 7 trips inside their 30 yard line. 19 points.

    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.

  We have a talented group. Properly led we could be the team everyone suspected we were preseason.

  Ludwig cannot return next season. If this is Whitt’s last season, Ludwig needs to either retire with him or be shown the door.

    should have never come back in 2019.
    
    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.

  I agree that it was ultimately coaching, but I don’t think the playcalling was bad, we just didn’t/don’t have a QB who was able to execute. Soooo many poorly thrown balls tonight. We moved it decently even though our QB was a wounded statue. The playcall doe the TD that got called back for DPI sas great, too. On a lot of this, Cam just couldn’t get the ball close to where it needed to be.
  
  Our D had issues with over pursuit and frankly just missing a lot of tackles, but the calls looked ok. The coaches have failed to develop enough depth and grit on the execution side of the ball. We had way more chances than we deserved tonight to still win, but our execution was terrible… Again.

    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?”

      Agreed. The issues didn’t look like Xs and Os to me, it was that this team doesn’t look right in terms of execution and discipline. We have injuries, sure, and that is hurting us, but this team doesn’t look prepared for a second year in a row, and 2 years in a row is no longer just freak bad luck.
