Have at it.

Anyone hanging around to watch this game? I see no reason to watch, so I’m probably headed out for the weekend. If that happens, it will be the first Beaver game I’ve missed since 2009.

Here’s a poll to get a feel for fanbase sentiment.

[poll id=”8″]

1. He almost beat the Ducks.
2. He’s looked competent in every game he’s played.
3. The current QBs are all terrible.
4. He’s very smart and as mobile as Garrettson. Best accuracy of all the QBs.
5. GA knows nothing about QBs, so might as well pull a George Costanza and do the opposite.

All I can come up with is racism. Just saying…

A comment of mine from the prior thread. GA is more a puzzle/complex human than Riley, but I think this sums him up:

GA needs an OC and a QB. Then he needs bodies in the trenches and depth everywhere. Is it his fault? Yes. He let too many guys walk for being weaklings who couldn’t take his mindset, and now he’s left with nothing. He burned bridges when he claims to care about the kids. What he cares about his winning and thinks he can abuse/will people into doing that with tough love and discipline, and he can’t. Some players respond to other methods. He can’t see this, and so now he’s dug his own grave. We’ll see if he digs out of it.

Definitely showed his warts. He’s a flawed coach, and now we know what WI fans were yapping about when they warned us.

I think GA gets off on that moment when a program flips and he’s constantly chasing the rush of that moment. To him that’s nirvana. It’s like a playboy who’s 60 and still constantly chasing tail. The rush of the chase never gets old for some.

The title says it all — this team looks just as bad, if not worse, than last year’s team.

At times vs MN and Boise State they looked improved. They had some pass rush and attitude, and game 1 I remember thinking they passed the eyeball test a bit more, but it hasn’t lead to any positive results.

What do you guys see?

Any improvement? Is the co-coordinator system doing anything for you or the team? Has there been any creativity to make up for the lack of talent? Are GA’s threats and mood swings getting old?

With each loss all of that gets worse as fans grow impatient and frustrated. The Beavs badly need a conference win to settle everyone down and show progress, yet it hasn’t happened and looks far from happening.

Meanwhile, Riley is 5-0 at Nebraska. Not saying I wanted to keep Riley. This is a gamble I’m glad we took, but he’s 5-0 and ranked #15 and climbing. He worked with the mobile QB he was given. GA booted almost every QB from the program, and ironically, has wound up basically with pocket passers. Maybe we’re all biased in favor of GA simply because he isn’t Riley and says what we wanted to hear Riley say for years. Just saying, real talk.

Anyway, I’m sure we’ll hear more talk about “the kids” bringing their “big boy pants”, but GA needs to bring his big boy pants out on the recruiting trail and up-sell this trainwreck (dubbed the GA Express) as early playing time.
