I figure Candle ALREADY took a job offer and the news leaked, or at minimum a job interview (BYU?) and the team is unhappy. I sincerely hope he took a job interview.

sigh.

This too shall pass.

It will pass in 4 years where we average 10,000 per home game and win 3/4 games a year. His contract finally runs out and we can start over. I’m overreacting but it’s possible. After all, no one thought we’d lose by almost 40 today in Muncie

You’re not overreacting. There can be no excuse for the Rockets playing as poorly as they have 2 weeks in a row now. This program is a week away from becoming an official dumpster fire.

UT is there. The worst back to back games against MAC teams I've ever seen the Rockets play.

Huge disappointment on many fronts. Downtown Coaches should be real interesting on Monday. People were easy on Jason last week. No telling this week. Two TERRIBLE losses! Not acceptable no matter how you look at this one. MOB has got to be worried with the state of things.

I’ve never seen a coach get a tough question at DCA. Granted I’ve not been since I moved out of Toledo.

Coaches only give Coach speak answers anyhow. No real substance when they are asked what the problems are or what real changes need to be made.
Losing your starting QB can be tough, but our complete inability to move the ball on offense today during the 1st half allowed a bad defensive performance to be amplified.
We don't seem to be able to possess the ball at all with a short passing game like the Rockets were able to in the past. Didn't Woodside, Ely (was that his name?) and even going back to Gradkowski, Toledo QBs had very high pass completion percentages. We seem to want to throw the ball farther downfield but don't have the protection time to allow longer routes to develop. Running game is very inconsistent too. Lots of runs for nearly nothing. Lots of issues I guess.
