This guy has absolutely no rhyme/reason for his play calls. He has zero feel for the flow of a game. Rarely if ever makes in game adjustments, and hasn't proven to be able to develop a QB.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but we are very excited that you took him off our hands.

Expect random trick plays for no reason. Expect a 40 yard pass down the sidelines on 3rd and 3. Expect mediocrity.

well this is a terrible sign

Realize some of that goes directly to athletes. The majority of his offenses have been quite successful.

Let him get in and work with our team before you get any type of negative opinion.

Go down swinging,
This Dude now has Seth, Ike believes he'll average more points with the freshman all America than he did at Marshall.
IKE's sources say he is a great recruiter especially in Ohio, Kentucky and west Virginia
Word on the street the Dude is a great hire

Great hire is a stretch, Good hire, yes. As I said previously, he never lived up to the offensive guru he was supposed to be and I think he lost a few games in Huntington with some erratic play calling (At times he would call for a 30 yard pass on 3rd 2 or a run up the middle on 3rd 20). The guy is personable, knows how to connect with kids and is competent. I hope he does well for you.

Sometimes a 30 yard pass is the right call on 3rd and 2 if you see an opening. Can't blame the play caller for lack of execution. Also sometimes run up the middle is the right call on 3rd and 20 if you're playing field position (there is no great call for 3rd and 20). Cramsey has had a lot of success at several different schools. Marshall had a very good offense this season. He will have a lot more tools and talent at Memphis.
Seems like a really good hire to me.

Do you EVER try to look at anything from a positive point of view? And please don’t tell me to put you on ignore like you have numerous others. I can’t force myself to not look at your posts. It’s like a train wreck - one can’t help but look.

Ike just got some interesting news on Lamar
A reliable Dude told Ike that a couple of Dudes from Ohio will be following the new O.C.and they are receivers

We had ELEVEN Freshman WRs last season. Not to mention the ones we have already picked up. I hope the dudes following from Ohio will be for the DC. We need them much more!!

No. At least I have never seen it. I got sick of the trainwreck and the personal attacks. Especially from someone that contributes NOTHING positive to the board. Only person I have on ignore.

It is actually quite refreshing.

Ignored by the E F HUTTON of the board----better than a TIGERS victory ---he has me on ignore but is still launching personal attacks ---two days in a row the clown has attacked---- -priceless---for the record the only time I attacked him was in my defense of his attacks -like now--what a prick

The Dude said that's a strong possibility,
One may come as a defensive end

Looking at the stats comparison it seems that we are trading even and just getting a different coach. Not much difference in the stats at all.

Big difference in the athletes, though.

Do you think we would have beat Marshall last season ?

Yes

Bert56,
We've always had trouble with the herd,
Ike attend two games at Marshall and they beat us both times, they have a very nice stadium and Ike liked the
Buffalo riding the Harley after each score, unfortunately he rode it many times when Ike attended

Would totally depend when we played them, our level of injuries, what was on the line....

My gut says yes, as we had more talent. However, I think we had more talent than 3 of the teams we lost to so no telling if that holds up.
