Tristan Bailey

There are players who are scholar-shipped who never see the field. He's the best we have at that position, or he wouldn't be out there.

Why isn't Ethan kicking? Shit, Brian Hill wouldn't be much worse than Bailey

As frustrating as it is, maybe he's a kid who never misses in practice and is a mental case during games. Maybe the coaches see potential and don't intend on giving up on kids 7 games into their college career.

The thing about one of our favorite catch phrases here, "player development", is that it can be a tedious process that doesn't happen overnight. Especially when the only time he can develop kicking in game situations is, well, kicking in game situations.

I think he'll figure it out. Much like the rest of our guys right now, it might be painful to watch him get there.

Well if they've got so much faith, why are they bringing in a scholarship guy next year? 1/7, and it's not like we're asking for 50+ yarders

Beats me man. Quitting on one guy sends a message to everyone else?

"I need all of you to believe in your coaches and buy into our program. But if you struggle, I'm throwing you under the bus and giving up on you."
 
Let's just start going for it on what would be anything longer than a 25 yarder. At least then even if we don't get it we could help field position a bit.
 
If it's longer than 4th an 6 and we have anything less than 40 yard FG, I'd still say go for the fg. He has to start hitting a better %, right?
 
Given our record, I don't think it'll really hurt to let him keep kicking - sure it would've been nice if he had been able to put the game away today, but if we had stayed with the offensive game that had kept working all game long rather than trying to bleed 25 minutes off the clock, the game could've been put away that way as well.

The coaching staff isn't quitting on our kicker, that's why they keep rolling him out there. But of course they need to bring in a new kicker, as they do every other position. It's all about trying to find guys that will at minimum, will push the present starters to perform better, and ideally, take their place.

Ryan Cummings has to be right next to him for worst on the team. He may be the most penalized o-lineman in the country.

Wow. I think Cummings is one of our up and coming star linemen. I just don't understand the thinking and comments of some on this board.
