Lance was on the thinnest of ice. He didn't get along, to say the least, with T Rob.
Bmac has not improved this offense one bit. Not in any area. Roper was more creative and that's saying something. We don't even average 3 offensive TDs against P5 opponents.
Little did we know he would screw the hire up again. Been better off with Roper.
How about Ricky Bustle? Isnt he coaching high school now? And Wally Burnham on defense. Killer combo
Ha, made that exact statement to my son two hours ago. At the end of the day, all other things being equal ie officiating, football players have to make football plays at EVERY position, offense and defense, to be successful. All it takes is one guy and a play is not successful. “Play calling” is often mistaken for that maxim.
Who are you even watching? It most certainly has improved. Does it still have a ways to go to be a Spurrier in his prime (UF days not here) type of offense? Yes. But BMAC ain't the one out there over throwing wide open receivers for sure TDs or the one dropping sure first down and TD catches.
Pretty sure that was Spurrier's MO half the time he was here. We sat on leads more often than not and then he would panic and call 874 pass plays in a row.
Spurrier had called "ball plays" so long he had seen most everything. He gets the benefit of the doubt because he thought "he saw something" in the defense that he could exploit. I've seen him go both extremes. Come out with three incompletions when we needed to kill clock and pound the ball until we take the victory formation. Then there's in-between, where you do the right things , mix it up well and it still doesn't work. I remember after one game my buddy texted me "that's textbook how you close out a game with a small lead." I said "If only he did it every time."
Experience is definitely a factor. The "analyst" spot would help tremendously here.
