No show in the 2nd half makes it sting a little worse.

Kind of a North Texas-ish feel.

We don’t really have a traditional passing game right now. It’s a glaring weakness. Lowry is improving and there are glimpses, but when we have to run a traditional dropback game it’s very obviously not a strength. To be fair I’ve seen nothing that makes me think Bell is a great OC, but the job is a lot more difficult when you don’t have that.

My poiht is.. we actually have really talented players that I see are out pacing bad play calling at tines.... but we have deficiencies at OL... totally undderstand.. but Walt just doesnt seem to do anything to help his QB outside of say... RUN.....

we should be rolling him out.... crossing routs as he rolls with Bosma and his other guys... with a drop down pass to the RB ... but no... just run that MF'er and if he feels it throw DEEP... thats NOT sustainable.

Today is the kind of **** we fired Lester and Cubit for. Those two had habits of losing too many winnable games. If the AD has any stones he will put his foot down on Monday and say this **** stops now.

It sucks, no doubt. Doesn’t change some of these overreactions.

I mean, how long do we just shrug it off? Just trash....year after year after year.

We’re 3-1 in the MAC right now. I’m not saying everything is perfect but if a road loss to another undefeated MAC team makes you jump ship completely that seems a bit extra.

I think LT needs to cut Bell before end of season... period.. get that cancer out of this team...

Jump ship? Nah. We once had a coach who asked his players when they were ever going to be tired of being average. It’s not beyond the realm of reasonable expectation to not want to be a fuckin embarrassment on the field.

extra week of prep... and still the offense looks like it only works if the QB can run up the middle or somehow grabs a rando shot deep down field...
No... thats not a good recipe for success..

This offense actually has a QB.... he CAN run... but you cant just make it all run

and BTW - stop with Buckley.... hes slowed up and he doesnt have the OL he used to have... and its apparent he has lost a step...

Let's chat when we miss a bowl game again.

FWIW I was mostly referring to Pez deciding to not go to our biggest rivalry game on a rare Saturday because we lost one road game to another 3-0 MAC team. But since we’re invoking that Fleck quote. That was a long time ago, might as well have been a different universe in CFB and at WMU. Even so, it wasn’t until year 4 that Fleck had a real breakthrough and won a MACC, so let’s maybe pump the brakes on firing everyone.

It’s debatable if that week off actually helped. Personally I thought it risked stunting our momentum.

As disappointing as it is, I’m still on board.

Now if we lose at home next weekend to our arch-rival, especially after last year’s debacle, then I’m out.

What has Walt Bell shown you that makes you believe in him?

LT needs to figure out how much he loves his job... because if he keeps himself strapped to Walt Bell he's not gonna last long in Kalamazoo.

I’m not super high on him. I do think there has been some progress as the year’s gone on in the passing game. It hasn’t been linear, but hell we didn’t even have an unquestioned starter until MAC play started. How much progress is attributable to him? I have no way of answering that.

Let's be honest. I'm being dramatic. We'll be there.

Bell has been a garbage coordinator and coach everywhere he's been.... pretty sure he's been fired from his last few stops for being GARBAGE.... Again... why did LT think he as a good hire?

Same

When we hired Bell i was immediately confused.... ive seen him at IU an UMass and FSU... and everywhere he went it as AWFUL...

Don’t get me twisted. We’re ALL out on Bell.

Some of choose to believe in what a previous coach showed us was possible and we’ve only had 8.5 seasons of the same old bull**** as before since he left.
