I don't get how you're inside the 10 and run 3 draws and go for it on fourth down instead of taking the points.
I don't get a lot of the offensive scheme and the lack of creativity. There's only so long your defense can hold you in a game.
It's time to find a new OC.
That could be another issue we have with offense. We were always looking for plays to involve Gipson for obvious reasons. Now that Harris is emerging as a go to guy it seems we look for him more often when there are other receivers available. Rikel had a big game vs Commerce 2 games back--caught 2 last week then was forgotten and this week he had 2 good receptions early then didn't see much more action. Ty Love has been forgotten. Wafer seldom used. OC seems to find a weapon and overplays it.MasterAxe said:TheRevSFA said:

It's almost as if we were totally dependent on a world-class NFL WR to make up for the lack of creativity.
Now that Gipson isn't around, we seem to get stuck in the mud at the absolute worst times

Let me just get these over withβ¦
"We are only 3-4 plays away from being 6-1"
"They are still trying to adapt to the new schemes"
"We are young"
"We are close. Next year will bring more experience"
Did I miss anything?

From my understanding that game was a non-conference game, so we are still at 0-2 in conference play.

Long time listener, first time poster. Actually just created an official account.
Find myself going back to the questionable coaching from this staff. The stupid jump pass vs Utah Tech. Wasting the Xavier Gipson's talent, along with having Trae Self back for his final year.
The press conferences that I watch on a weekly basis is the same old bs. For someone who preaches accountability, our head football coach always has an excuse.
I've lost faith in the current leadership.

Not trying to make excuses, but we aren't able to recruit at the level I think we could, if we had modern facilities. Colby is fighting with some real handicaps. I'm not saying that other schools don't have issues, but we clearly need some updates ( at minimum). Getting updates doesn't guarantee success, but it certainly gives us a fighting chance for some of the top tier recruits.

I would love to have better facilities at SFA, but facilities did not stop Willie Fritz and KC Keeler from recruiting top talent, achieving excellence, AND winning a NATTY at Sam Houston! Bowers stadium is no showplace. It is no better than ours!! We need top leadership if we really want to win. Carthel "Chose Us" 5 years ago and has achieved very little during his tenure!!

What a turd response. I don't think facilities will fix "everything". It wouldn't hurt to have facilities comparable to a good 3A program.
Update: Turd response might be a little strong, but the fact is, we are behind from a facilities standpoint. It does have an impact.

Poor old 99 just can't let go of his idols Fritz and Keeler. Mentioned them several times a season while whining that he didn't want us to play Sam anymore. Are you sure you don't have some Sam swag hanging in your abode?
I'm sure that Ivey is waiting for you to contact him with a "can't miss" coach he should hire.
Maybe Jimbo Fisher will come here and coach us for free after he gets his buyout!

Interestingly enough, my dad was a prof at SH for 35 years. I came to SFA because I could not stand the attitudes at Sam Houston. SFA is a truly special place and I had an exceptional time there as a college student. Nobody had an attitude at SFA (until I jpined this forum.)
BTW, I cant stand the color orange and have zero swag from SH!!)
The only swag I display is an SFA flag in my yard, and SFA plates and Lifetime Alumni stickers on both cars!
So please do not question my SFA loyalty or when I speak my personal views about SFA Football!!
Bottomline is we need a TOP caliber coach. Not one who hypes things up and does.not deliver! Fritz AND Keeler are prime examples.
