ZipsAlum92 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not only do the Zips have the worst record in the Football Bowl Subdivision, but they also rank among the worst in several other categories. The NCAA tracks 17 major team statistics. The Zips rank 100 or below in 12 of those 17 statistical categories. The category they rank the best in is punting, where they are ranked 67th. If this isn't the fault of poor coaching, then I don't know what is. Ianello, along with his fellow South Bend flunkies -- John Latina and Ron Powlus, have set this program back at least five years in their first 8 games at the helm. I am not one to make snap judgments, but the numbers speak for themselves here. These guys need to be shown the door before they do much further damage.

ZipsAlum92 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Actually, other than being ranked 120 out of 120, Gaffney's article didn't mention any of those statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accused you of summarizing an article in the completely wrong thread. Move on, nothing to see here. http://www.southbendtribune.com/article/20.../101029476/1130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippysgotagun Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Police Squad was a TV show that led to the Naked Gun Movies. The actual full title was The Naked Gun: From the Files of the Police Squad. You're both right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Even DiG doesn't need to look at the stats to know how badly this team has performed so far this season. No doubt. DIG statistical challenge: make a case with stats how this team is not the worst team in...(you pick). iCoach would try doing this with his already classic..."now look, if you take away those 12 big plays we gave up, we were..." Thank gawd he even quit trying to blow this smoke up our butts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Zips stats are way too icky for anyone to want to spend any time studying. The deepest I want to dig into this year's stats is to note that if you take away the first 8 games, the Zips don't look like such a bad team.

zipdiehard Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Numbers do speak for themselves... We were 1-7 at this time last year, and finished 3-9 with our wins coming over Morgan, winless E Mich, and Can't. We lost a bunch of senior skill position people, and didn't have much talent coming back. No matter who the coach was, we were going to suck. I guess people had some really high expectations with the way they are screaming about Icoach. While always wanting the best, I was realistically hoping we would just match last year's win total.

There's no excuse for the Zips being the worst team in college football. And we are the worst team in college football. No, JD didn't leave us with a championship team. But he didn't leave us with a team that should be giving up 30 points in the first half. Or scoring 3 offensive points per game. We're at 8 games now...what was our best offensive drive of the year? I can't think of one offensive series the entire season where we looked like anything but a Chinese fire drill. By comparison, our opponents have 4 or 5 great drives every HALF! There is no way we're getting the most out of the talent we have. And while no one wants to say it -- If Jacquemain and Bowser play 12 games last season, we win 6 games easily. Probably 7. Yeah, I know..."If." But it is true. Can you imagine winning 6 games in a season? I forget what it's like to lead after 1 quarter, let alone after the 4th.

I guess people had some really high expectations with the way they are screaming about Icoach. While always wanting the best, I was realistically hoping we would just match last year's win total. Brookhart was a huge mistake, as everyone now can clearly see. But it was compounded by hiring someone more inept than JD, who was probably only kept around because his father-in-law was a big donor. Yes, Jacquemain cost us a lot last year with his shenanigans, but what about all of the other sub-500 seasons? We've been taking "two steps back..." for so long, I don't think anyone connected with the program would know how to take "one step forward."
