Head coach doesn't describe anyone on our current staff.

 

[IRON-EAGLE]

Blake Anderson makes more where he is at, and ASU wisely locked him into a huge long term buyout.

 

[Daphne Eagle]

Iron, I just pulled up Anderson's contract, $700k per year total compensation with a huge buy out of 3 mil. Just think we payed EJ 800k guaranteed for 4 years.

Bottom line is we made the wrong hire. There are no two bones about it. I know we don't have the talent or the depth onn the team but when it comes down to simple math and what you need to do to control the game this coach has absolutely no clue. More then 3 minutes left in the game and his play calling was if tey had the game in the bag... What a joke. It is going to be this way for a long while guys. get used to it.

I agree, Monken set himself back with the last two offensive series last night.

 

[Shifty_Eagle]

No matter what, we are stuck with him though. So we would be better off by first coming to terms with this fact, then going from there.

Will one of you who is close to the staff recommend that they drill a couple of holes in the back of our DB's helmet so the can see the ball as they chase down the receiver. One of my biggest complaints on how these player are taught.

You know those specialized eye glasses with mirrors bicylists wear? Maybe affix those to the db's helmets? Or tell them to concentrate on the jumbothron?

It's puzzling. Last season this team finished by scoring 62 points against UAB. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who saw that as a huge turning point for the team. A win like that had to give the team confidence that they had an offense capable of moving the ball and scoring a lot of points.....at least against comparable competition. I believe that just about everybody returned from that same offense. So what happened?

How come a team capable of scoring 62 points on the road against UAB couldn't put 42 points on the board at home against Alcorn State and Appalachian State? Only 10 points, all scored in the 4th quarter, against a sub-mediocre UTSA team? For someone who was considered an offensive guru at Oklahoma State, Monken ought to be capable of creating a gameplan that should work against our C-USA competition and lower-tier OOC competition. I'm not buying the argument that we don't have the talent. If we were playing in the Big 12- yes, but not in C-USA.

Lack of talent is not the issue.
