Bad coaching decisions were the reason for 3 of the 4 losses. Unless those decisions get better, we'll continue to see losses that are avoidable as long as Riley is here. If you don't believe me, you better keep in mind that his previous team had losing records 3 out of the last 5 seasons.

Same set of DBs had very good stats last year. Yes, losing RG hurt, but the secondary didn't look inept last year.

Old habits may be hard to break from prev system...and under pressure the confidence wanes and confusion sets in

Coaches don't know how to close out a win!

Because wins build confidence and we need wins! Losing is NOT an option. Losing is NOT acceptable!

Coaching, coaching, coaching. We have the same or better talent, the same or better physical training and facilities. What remains? COACHING. TIMID COACHING.

If you can't put pressure on the QB and give him all day in the pocket he will pick your corners apart I don't care who you are playing. It would also be nice to see our DBs turn around once in awhile.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
