Coaching decisions and perceived coaching deficiencies (e.g., recruiting and hiring of the DC) have been criticized by some posters.

Do you think the same type of posts would have appeared had we made the last FG?

Yes, in terms of some of the decisions...but they would not have been tinged with the nastiness by some. Would have been a that goodness style of reference to them.

Like every team by the way.

No. At least not in the force of numbers.

To me, an easy, "I had both hands on the ball" interception was a more egregious error than a long field goal attempt which went slightly wide right.

I'd like to think fans would still be asking questions about such things. A made FG to win the game would have been awesome, but it wouldn't have made the suspect play calling and defensive schemes in the 4Q just evaporate. If the FG was good we would be 9-1 instead of 8-2 and still in the hunt for the AAC championship. But fans would still do what fans do: ask questions and discuss various aspects of the game. We're all Monday morning (well, Sunday morning as the case may be) quarterbacks...it's all a part of the experience.

I was making comments during the game about how when Ward went out of the game, we stopped sending pressure at the QB and allowed a WR turned QB to get comfortable. I was also critical of the play calling in the 4th qtr. We got away from pounding the ball inside and started trying to out flank them. 2 TO's later....

I should have added to my question"after the game". My bad.

You're up by 20 going into the 4th. You're up by 13 with 5 minutes to go AND you have the ball with a RB that's been getting AT LEAST 4 yards every play. That game should have never come down to a FG. Awful coaching. Awful, awful, awful.

Yes to the question...wr turned qb is the hardest thing to accept for me.... we made this guy like Tom Brady

Look

No.

Is JF accountable for the awful coaching? If so, what actions, if any, should JF's boss undertake? What should fans do next in reaction to the awful coaching besides talk about it?

Nothing. That's what this message board is for. For us to TALK about it. That's what many here don't get, so they result to attacking and name calling anyone that wants to TALK about the game and what happened in the game.

Well said.

I sense that there's an underlying comparison to our basketball situation in Tiger1983's questions. Nothing wrong with that...if I'm mistaken, it wouldn't be the first time.

For me the difference is in how the two teams are trending under their current coaches. The basketball team has been on a slight decline (I fully understand that some would question my use of the word "slight") while the football team has been on a tremendous incline.

At this point, in my opinion, there's nothing for the the university admin and boosters to do in either situation. Their hand may be forced in December with Fuente. If he takes a better job, then pat him on the back and get to work finding his replacement. By contrast, they may be faced with a tough decision in March regarding Pastner. I don't envy them in the least.

As far as fans are concerned, we talk...that's what we do.

Is it ok for fans to boycott the next game?

Fans can do whatever they want with their money. I'll be there no matter what. Always. Now, my opinion on boycotting. Hell no. That would be dumb. That stuff should be saved for the Bassetball coach

Everyone has been calling out our DC all year. That is the only connection this loss has to Fuente.

Memphis gave that game away... Period.

TBH, Houston's not that good. I was surprised.

Snicker to some of the above.

Trying the tired old any style of over the top nastiness or over the top conclusions are just the same as discussing a game.

The old he sucks being the equivalent to he should have run the ball more paff.

Er...no...but, as long as you guys entertain yourself with such.
