We need to be honest about who we are. All of our wins are against teams with 2 or fewer wins (including Northern Iowa). We get zero pressure on the QB. Our OL often looks like they are practicing their Matador skills. The QB stares down his primary receiver and then throws it there whether he's open or not. Our run game is non existent against any team with a decent front 7.
Sadly, I suspect the coaching is not as bad as it appears. The talent on the field is just not very good. Having said that, I suspect if we had a competent head coach who could evaluate talent and get rid of the sloppy penalties and bone head mistakes, we'd have at least 1, if not 2 more wins this year.
Look at Fresno St - totally embarrassed against csewe and SDS. They come out and win today. New Mexico goes on the road and beats UNLV. We never go on the road and win against a team with a winning record. Hell, we hardly ever did it during Bohl's 10 years. This is very close to rock bottom. We have very little (I would argue nothing) to lose by getting rid of this entire staff and looking for new blood. Sadly, Burman won't do it. But this current team is nearly unwatchable.
To top it off, we have a field goal kicker who can't kick it 40 yards. There are probably female soccer players who can kick it further. How this guy got a spot on the roster is beyond my comprehension. I saw Sawvel yelling at him after his 50 yarder landed at the goal line. Sawvel better take a long look in the mirror because special teams have been a disaster all year and he seem completely surprised by every break down in execution.
