Brandon at least has a prayer of survival if he can weather this storm, and make a home run hire once Hoke is gone. I don't see that happening but it's probably the only card Brandon has left to play.

RumbleFish posted:Mack Brown can't go to SMU because it's his destiny to return to North Carolina and thus restore that program to the respectability it enjoyed while he was there to begin with. I don't seriously think this should happen, but it does demonstrate that Mack is still very well-regarded in Chapel Hill. He was literally our last decent football coach, as sad as that sounds, and always speaks about UNC and his time there in a positive manner. It doesn't take much to win over UNC football fans.

Brice Ramsey is legitimately better at everything than Mason is except Ramsey tends to overpower throws and throw the occasional lawndart. He's going to be really good.

I don't really think it'll go to his head (he seems to be a pretty down to earth kid), but I just have a feeling it's going to be like Clowney's final year... He's going to be so built up that any sort of somewhat mediocre performance is just going to result in a massive shitstorm of criticism.

I'm sure Mason knows the playbook and studies hard and makes good decisions in practice and blah blah blah, but that dude flat out does not have the arm strength to play college football a high level and seems terrified to throw the ball down field. They really need to think about making a change because right now everyone can just sell out against the run and the short passsing game. It works okay when Gurley is superhuman (and maybe he'll continue to be that all year) but it seems like a pretty severe limitation on their offense. They really need to think about making a switch, even if it means more mistakes and stuff like that.

It works okay when Gurley is superhuman (and maybe he'll continue to be that all year) but it seems like a pretty severe limitation on their offense. They really need to think about making a switch, even if it means more mistakes and stuff like that. No doubt. There were reports that after the Tennessee game he was experiencing arm pain and he only threw the ball 25 times. Maybe 3 or 4 of those throws were over 10-15 yards -- most were screens or very quick corner routes. In the fourth quarter, Tennessee basically put 9 men in the box, played our 2 WRs in man coverage and he couldn't do anything with it. The next month is all on the road and it terrifies me to enter with such a one dimensional offense. Like HOTLANTA MAN said, Brice can be a little goofy with his decision making at times, but at least he has the arm that forces the defense to respect the pass more. edit: I just looked this up, Hutson has 3 passes of 25 or more yards on the year and only 11 between 15 and 24 yards.

MourningView posted:It works okay when Gurley is superhuman (and maybe he'll continue to be that all year) but it seems like a pretty severe limitation on their offense. Having a team sell out to stack the box and gang tackle Gurley is a recipe for him getting hurt again. As good as Chubb and Michel (who doesn't need a surgery for his injury but is still out 4-6 weeks minimum), Gurley is just Gurley and he can totally change a game within a play or two. The guy is used to the team being put on his back and if he is out, I don't know if we have anyone else on our offense that can really cary us. We are (probably) getting Justin Scott-Wesley back this week, maybe Malcom Mitchell too if he feels good throughout practices, but having a balls fast wideout does nothing if you can't throw a pass more than 3 yards downfield. I sort of find it hilarious that some fans thought of Mason as the anointed one (literal quote from a fat as gently caress redneck behind me at a game last year) and he is simply meh.

Mason sucks, and I will never get over the fact that there was a non-zero portion of the UGA fanbase who was bitching for him to come into the Clemson game last season when Murray had a rough start to the second half. These people need to watch every noodle-rear end, poorly communicated Mason throw with their eyes forced open a la Clockwork Orange. For the first time all year, Richt has made it seem like the QB situation isn't cut and dry. If Mason doesn't rock and roll against Vanderbilt, then you might eventually see a change, or split time, or something.

Actually, scratch that. I've already tried to explain how hosed up Mason's communications with his WRs are- guys like Michael Bennett who have been in the system for five years- and the talking points from Cobb County Hutson-is-Jesusland are that the WRs are trying to sabotage dear Mason or whatever.

Or, you know, this whole situation might have quieted down a bit if Brady Hoke had marched out there yesterday and taken any ownership for anything whatsoever (whether he thought it was his fault or not). That seems like something a "Michigan Man" would do to take heat off of his players, don't you think?
