MSU Red Cedar Message Board

You do realize Dantonio has ZERO offensive coaching experience, right? He would have no idea how to call plays. If he did, Roushar would already be fired.

EDIT: Roushar never would have gotten the job.

Debatable.

It may come to this. People not buying $80-a-piece tickets speaks volumes, and does get incompetent coaches fired.

I think you get a good OC, and the players start looking one hell of a lot better. Drops were on the WR's, but the confusion and inability of the OL to block, even BEFORE the injuries is on the staff. As is any kind of creativity on O.

If Dantonio and Narduzzi are defensive minds, they know offense well enough to know how stop them. The next step is figuring out "what would an offense do to beat my defensive game plan?"

That level of analysis would be an improvement on what we're getting from Roushar.

I agree that the players are also accountable. Maxwell sucked ass today. But the OC is not supposed to be a hindrance you have to overcome. He's supposed to put the players in positions where they can be successful, so they can build some confidence. roushar is an utter failure in this regard.

Was at the game today. The whole soaking wet 60+ minutes.

The O-line in not a cohesive unit. What's bothersome is its not the same player or same side of the line so it smore than replacing player X with player Y. Maxwell does lack touch. The first pass in the series that was an incomplete was a poor desision to throw into coverage that was intended for Mumphrey. Then 2 plays later Mumphrey makes a great catch on another pass thrown into 2 double covereage.

I had a bad feeling when it was 1st and goal on the 7 and all the team got was another FG. A worse feeling than I got when they cheesed away the chance for a FG at the half. The firedrill at the end of the first half was all sideline administration.

I don't know if Roushar will be replaced but this team is not the well oiled machine it was last year. I underestimated how important Cousin's time with Cunningham and Martin as RS was and the O-line can't block folks.

Well I think this board is finally in agreement about Roushar... Don't think any coaching changes will happen until the end of the year though...

Maybe MD can call up Saban for some advice on a replacement.

Exactly.

No leadership from the seniors and upperclassmen and supposed captains.

Norman, Maxwell, and Fowler have played mediocre at best.

I had the same thought as far as a comparison.

If you do cancel, make sure the AD knows why.

holy FUCK....6 td's in FIVE home games? That's the stat: that's muddy waters type ineptitude boys.......my god.

....tell you another thing: if Hollis tried to intervene about roushar: Coach D' could walK I really believe that: then it's a nuclear meltdown. I see 5 wins this year: and then Roushar needs to go for the fan base and season ticket holders(including some in this thread) to feel like there is hope. But I HAVE to say: I don't see it happening.

Um, no. It's not a lack of leadership and selfishness amongst the team. It doesn't look like they're just going through the motions out there; they're trying. It's more a lack of experience and poor offensive scheming (blame Roushar) than anything else.
