Knapke has thrown three picks. To be fair, two were on receivers. But the other one, he stared down Phouthavong and gave the safety enough notice to make the play.

Ugly. 35-3 after a quarter. Morgan time, nothing else to salvage.

Jinks is in danger of losing this team for the remainder of the season.

True, he was a college associate coach. Never held the title of special teams, offense or defense coordinators.

I'm sorry but our assistants that coach Jinks hired to me were 'his buddies' and not quality coaches. I consider that high school level. Haven't seen any fire on the sidelines in any games. No halftime adjustments. The game is moving too quickly for Jinks & Staff.

You need to tell your returners to not catch the ball on the 1 yard line. Let it go in the endzone and start at the 25.

Can't lose it when you never had it to begin with. That look of Jinks sure looks like Louis Orr.

Most of this trainwreck is on horrible play by the players, but the bottom line to me is it takes a horrible coaching job for a team to look this inept pretty much every week.

To say he's in over his head is an understatement. We lost a lot of talent, but guys that used to be decent suddenly look like they've never seen a football field...

You sat in on the interviews?
You heard them tell Miller to take it from the one and run it back?

Urban Meyer wasn't a coordinator before he came here either...

Obviously..e have issues here and I'm as critical as anyone...but fair criticism carries more weight

Worst team since 2010...

the OL was supposed to be a strength, but our Memphis is kicking their ass

This year's a wash. Too many young guys and coaches. Haven't had a strong D backfield since booboo gates year. Lack of qb, looks like a lack of concentration, lack of depth, lack of certain positions, we can pin all this on what is here but babers takes some of this, albeit not here. He left like what happened with hugers and basketball last year. This is a totally reconstruction year, not even a rebuild.

I honestly don't think he ever had them.

Oh well, at least I don't have to be conflicted whether to go to Mac championship or the birth of my first grandchild as both are to be the same weekend

I felt optimistic after the 2010 season because we had freshmen starting at almost every position, freshmen who were playing hard but just weren't ready.

I don't have that feeling now... at all ...

Anyone talking about Knapke is wasting their time. 90% of the discussion should be focused on the D!
