Wow I thought this dumpster fire of a season was heading for the standard 5-7 finish, but I was too optimistic. Looks like we end up a 4-8 team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 This is no longer a Milwee issue. It is a Bowden issue. The talent level on this team is no longer an excuse. Injuries happen to every team. The coaching staff is incompetent on the offensive side and demotivated on the defensive side. There is obvious detachment from the coaches to the belief in TB's leadership. Time to clean house. I'd do it tomorrow and eat the last year(s) of TB's contract. Name an interim HC and put ourselves in the market for the best available coach we can get. Eating the contract is probably better financially than have 2-4,000 butts in the stands. Sad it has come to this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the game. This had the feel of a team that had 'quit' on this coach. Nelson couldn't play ,physically. And didn't look like he really wanted to play after the first few series. KN do not let the door hit you when t is likely a new regime will be here. Sorry. I am not anymore a Kato Nelson fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballzip Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 If Bowden does come back next year, he will need to shake up the offensive coaching staff with a new system and OC. If he is loyal to Milwee, maybe he can stay as the QB coach but not the play caller. We obviously need to get a running game going to take pressure off our quarterbacks and keep defenses guessing. Bowden has gotten us to couple bowl games, a MAC east championship, and some wins over bigger programs. I say give him next year to finish his contract out and see what happens.

Spin Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Well that was 4 hours of my life I'll never get back. This was the first game I made this year because of work and family. It was like going to games in the iCoach era. The running game was sorry, the receivers were unable to pull in footballs placed in their hands (when the receiver and Kato ran the same play) the play calling left me scratching my head, and wore the defense down by not letting them catch a break. Fans were yelling at the refs for bad calls, that's not what stopped the offense. This is not the team I watched earlier in the season. Unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) After the BG TD with 8 minutes left, the Akron return team went out to the wrong side of the field. I think that's a pretty decent summation of the leadership of this team. They were beaten by a 2 win team on their home field on senior day. Damn embarrassing.

If Bowden does come back next year he'll have to personally pick me up, drive me to the damn games and put me up in a box with Kate Upton to get me to spend three hours in that tomb watching that mess.

kreed5120 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 In an ideal world I'd like them to keep the defensive staff then clean the house with everyone else. That unfortunately is highly unlikely as any new coach will want to pick his own staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has devolved into this situation. It took Bowden too long to act and now it's too late. An adult (Larry) has to step in here. Sadly.

I honestly don't see Bowden being fired, but I could be wrong. I wouldn't be surprised. I am thankful for the fun games I did get to see in the Bowden-era after the non-fun games of the Ianello debacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This defensive staff is a good one. But what do you do when the head coach won't make the changes on the offensive side of the ball that anyone with half a brain sees as plainly obvious? It's absolutely perplexing, irresponsible and downright disgusting. Bowden's stubbornness is taking a great defensive staff down with him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the guys could not freakin' believe it! It was like "which way did they go George?" time. Freakin' hilarious. By that time my disgust had reached sarcastic time, and I was spewing, and all of a sudden it was like "they're on the wrong side of the 50!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feetg10 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 After Kwad dropped that TD pass, the team collectively gave up. If it wasn't going to be easy it wasn't worth the effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Not sure if anyone else saw it, but late in the third quarter and into the fourth quarter we had a guy fall asleep on the bench curled up under one of those raincoat things, surrounded by teammates. None of them cared. Nor did the coaches that would talk to their position groups nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
