Smiff on a hot seat?

You should hate Smiff because he's a Mountain West coordinate at UWFire_Marshall_Bill said:
I agree. He's shortchanging the whole program if it's true. I get the impression that Smith is almost like a mentor of his who is struggling to figure out what works while dealing with some legitimate disadvantages. I don't follow the program closely enough to know that for sure, but just based on observations, the scenario seems at least very plausible. It's not acceptable for a guy to go through learning pains. Go do that at Idaho State.PurpleBaze said:
If that's the case, then CP is a weak-dick. He shouldn't want a lapdog. He should want someone working for him to have his own ideas and challenge CP from time to time.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:It seems like Petersen wants a younger guy who he can control and manipulate as opposed to a seasoned 48 year old coordinator (who would probably make $700,000) who might butt heads with him.
Oh yeah, the OC should also be able to coach the offense on his own. The head coach should be the big picture guy.
I don't hate Smiff as much as some here, but he's a Mountain West coordinator. The offense struggled two years straight and it was more than bad QBs and young QBs and young lines etc. There were too many mind numbing decisions. -
I hate him because he was an Oregon State qb

To give a little fuel to your fire, in 13 games, we scored 2 times in our first drive of the 2nd half, a TD and a FG. Not good.NeGgaPlEaSe said:Does anyone believe Smith could modify a game plan at half time to take advantage of defensive tendencies?

Straight out of the doog playbook: blame the players to excuse shitty coaching.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Funny how the offense, and Smith's playcalling got better as the freshmen and sophomores gained experience. But lets not look at reality. Just blame playcalling.

It's the tendency of JS, as it was under Willingham, which was shades of Jack Patera and the Seahawks in '77, that when basic fundamental offensive plays aren't being properly executed, he'll try something even more complicated to try to trick the opponent. Problem is, opposing D's, after stuffing UW on 1st and 2nd down, expect the complicated, trick play, and usually hold it to a loss or no gain, IF we don't turn the ball over, fumble the snap, or some other shit. This is basic ABC's of life shit that Smith doesn't seem to get. When his shit isn't working, instead of tweaking or getting back to basics, he goes all-in and completely shit's the bed.
This is why over-achiever former players don't make good coaches. They confuse passion with precision, when the two are - for the vast majority - opposing forces. -
Browning and Gaskin will make him look better than mediocre

Correction: "Incomplete" abortions. Yes, those drives were that bad.RoadDawg55 said:There have been some two minute drills that have been complete abortions. Guys aren't even lining up correctly and look like they had no clue what to do. It has honestly looked like we don't even practice a two minute drill even though every fucking team in the country goes over these mock scenarios every week in practice.
