You guys have to fire hop. This is embarassing. Coug’s new guy has passed UW in <1 year

I've never used McDaniels' play as a barometer for this team because after watching him for about 5 games, it was pretty easy to tell that kid is complete fucking mess.
I've never used Stewart's play as a barometer for this team because after watching him for about 5 games, it was pretty easy to tell that he is a generational talent (for UW) and is currently a man playing among boys.
The guy I've focused on this year is Naz Carter. Just through consistent play he should be averaging 13-18 pts. a night and occasionally putting up 20/8/8 stat lines. Instead, he's regressed to the point that it's easy to forget that he's even on the team for long stretches of each game. With Stewart and McDaniel distracting everyone, Carter should be having a break-out year.
Carter's regression on offense, his clear inability to understand how to be an effective defender in the 2-3 (he's not Thybulle level, but there's no reason he can't be a Nowell type defender) ... and most troubling of all, his piss poor body language (see going off on Timmons, and then jawing with Hop on the sidelines during the UCLA game) means there's something really wrong with this team. He was the guy that should have had NO trouble finding and being successful in his role this year but instead, he's just a liability.
There are DEEP problems within this team. -
That zone is shit. Didn't watch yesterday but did watch the Cuog game where it got sliced and diced. You can't play zone unless there's some SOME concept of defending man to man. Hop put them in this weird umbrella 4-1 kind of configuration with spread arms and hopes they get a deflection or a steal.
There's no pressure on the ball, there's no recognition of picking up off-ball cutters flashing middle and baseline. Once in a while they extend the defense and try to trap out of it - but overall it's shit. Complete shit.

Cohen needs men's rowboat to save her jerb at this point. What a flaming dumpster fire the athletic department has become in the past year.

Zone has a time and place and can be effective. The way Hop is coaching it -it is shit.ntxduck said:

You think they'd be an offensive juggernaut because they are clearly not spending any time on the defensive end.

He's hyperbolic but this isn't the best time for you to slither out with your passive aggressive, peanut IQ doogisms. Run along.CallMeBigErn said:
Imagine agreeing with this.BaldwinIV said:Cohen is in for a rough year. Hopkins is flaming out to a degree of failure never remotely imagined. Lake almost assuredly will be a massive bust, as evidenced by his hiring of Donovan which might be the worst OC hire in the history of college football. Both are first-time HCs learning on the job, massively, massively in over their heads. At an elite university and with the tools and recruiting base to succeed quickly and sustainably.
Embarrassing. -
Hop should've been fired yesterday

I really liked Hopkins but this past month has been a massive disaster. Romar flamed out going after the one and dones and he's about to. I don't know if he needs to be fired but it's pretty hard to argue against at this point. I don't get to see many games, but there is no cohesion and team chemistry, there's a lack of effort, and these prima donnas play for themselves. He would have been better going after the decent three star guys and following the Gonfaga way.
