At some points coaches have to take ownership of players poor performances. That’s their literal job.
Leave Scangrello in Oxford

It is on the OC because that’s always what happens and then take away your best tackle and how could you not think he was going to get hit? The best OCs find ways to hide your teams weaknesses not call plays to exploit them in key times. Just a horrendously called game. Just like last week.
This "guy" called a good game, we didn't execute. Levis missed several open targets and took unnecessary sacks (the first half "spook" run where there was no pressure but he freaked for no reason come to mind) or took the game in his hands and cost us (could have handed off to Crod when he first fumbled for an easy 1st down but wanted the run himself.
Levis hears the talk about him as a top 3 pick and it's getting to him. There's no amount of coaching that can fix that. Now, Brown missing two big catches and Smoke being incapable of catching the ball at all didn't help, but Will had a horrible game from an individual standpoint. He's feeling the pressure and it isn't all from the opposing defense.
There are so many flaws in what you’re saying I’m not even going to continue this. You’re wrong. If you think Scang called a good game I really have no idea what to even say. It’s absurd.
I agree I think also that the talk of Levis being a badass is hurting his game.
He called several good screen plays, WIll missed the throw or backs missed the catch (Smoke). You can't gameplan for your QB giving up two turnovers in crunch time and spazzing for the go ahead TD. There's plenty of blame to go around (including C-Rod's conditioning but that's hard to do with a 4 game absence) but you placing it all on Scangarello when he had the right calls but poor execution is, simply, dumb.
Do you do anything but ride coaches jocks? I mean it’s literally all you do whether they’re performing or not. Some of us discuss things here; why don’t you just go be Calipari’s butler and tell him how great he is after he gets peacocked?
We’ll your wrong. Hand the ball to CRod 3 times from the 7 and we’re celebrating. The only thing you can’t do is take a sack.
So are you gonna work for cheap for one of these coaches or not? I know you’ve got a sticker on your car that says #1 coaches fan. Mine happens to be a UK sticker.
You mean like scheming a pass play with TE chip on the defender but your replacement OT still getting whipped for a game clinching TO? We didn't ask much of Wohlabaugh and he still underperformed. C-Rod was gassed after the last drive so we had to do it without him and Smoke, our two best RB's, and we still made plays with McClain because of scheme.
My God, what do you expect from an OC? He can't make Levis see the guys are open and he's holding the ball too long because Todd McShay said he had to limit TO's. Levis is playing scared to protect his draft status. Simply put. If your takeaway from this game was that scheme is the issue, you're clearly opinionated.
You needed 7 yard on 4 plays and you have the best RB in the SEC, maybe the country. If you think not giving him the ball is smart, then you’re just stupid. It’s that simple.
I said “pretty good “ . There’s never a perfectly called game . If Will doesn’t Crap the bed on the last 2 possessions we probably win .
Tell me again why he doesn’t play? But hey, let’s rely on the guy who’s not good enough to play when the games on the line. That’s just moronic. You hand the ball to 24 and celebrate your win.
I’m sure they were worried about running out of time since they had 0 timeouts .
Yeah and if we don’t get the 7 yards, you’d be on here whining about being too conservative.
I thought he called a heck of a game and I’m as proud as I can be of the team’s effort. Hell yes we should’ve won and if we played 10 times we win 8. Football is a hard damn game and we’re lucky to have the men we have playing and the men coaching then. We’re not going anywhere and should still be 12 or 13, (probably means we’ll drop to 14,) with a few chances to climb higher. I love this team and of course would love to have our OLine from last season, we don’t though and these guys will continue to get better every play. Love this group and where we’re going. As disappointed as I am to lose a big time game like this, we’re a hell of a SEC FOOTBALL PROGRAM and I wouldn’t trade anyone involved.
I take it you missed the part where C-Rod was gassed and could barely pass protect, much less run the ball on the last drive.
And, you're right too, Levis had to avoid a TO (his second in 4 minutes) because his RT gave up the easiest block him his career (with TE help on top of that).
Again, explain how this is the fault of the OC?
Stoops messed up by declining the penalty in the 1st half and giving up 3 points. Outside of that, I'd only fault him for not having a ST coordinator (I'm assuming this since we've never had one) and for not coming up with a better scheme for Ole Piss' tempo offense in the first half. Outside of that, the Jimmy's and Joe's cost us, not X's and O's.
No I wouldn’t. First of all they wouldn’t have stopped him but if they do you tip your cap. I can handle losing if my best player gets 3 to 4 shots.
Wow, I take it you missed our starting Tackle walk off with what appeared to be a charlie horse in in his thigh. Listen, if you aren't going to watch the game, don't criticize, OK?
I’ve already answered this 4 times. I’m not going to keep regurgitating the same points. Your CRod gassed comment is BS and your just making shite up now. That’s when you know you’ve lost.
Listen it’s not worth arguing. Scang does not protect the issues levis has in the pocket. The scenes are not designed for a poor decision maker and weak line. I don’t want to hear anything else about a chip. That’s just football 101 in many situations. We needed quicker passes and simplified routes / more screens and more mobilization. Levis can’t stand in the pocket today it was obvious. If you can’t see that I can’t help you.
How was he taught to hold it. Why do we continue to have poor execution on STs? That can certainly be the coaches fault. Whatever is tolerated becomes the standard. And yes. That is the leader’s fault.
This isn't Rich's job! For the love of GOD, he's the OC, not line coach! He called a balanced game but had a RB who was gassed and another RB who couldn't pass protect to save his life.
On top of that, he called several quick passing plays that Levis opted out of to "make a play" and it resulted in disaster because Will is hearing the "he has too many picks" talk instead of his OC. Brown should have made two big catches today but made up for it on ST. Outside of that, your criticism is null and void, sir.
I was there. There was no handing CRod the ball three times. He couldn’t stand up, he was so gassed. We gave away 5 points on special teams and Levis had every opportunity to throw the ball thru the end zone on the last play. It was first down, down three with a minute left in the red zone. First read, throw it in the first row. OC isn’t Lane by any means, but blaming him today is just silly.
Then answer it a 5th time because C-Rod asked out after his 8 yard run before the TO because he was, literally, gassed. He wasn't in the game on the final play. If you can't rewind the replay seeing him tap his helmet, I got nothing for you.
It is hard to call plays for a struggling o line, a qb with 0 pocket presence who fumbles in crucial moments. Some play calls were questionable but overall it was good enough to win. Levis just choked it away today. If he doesn’t fumble it, let’s our receivers get set and/or just throws the ball through the end zone at the end instead of holding it for ever, we are having a different conversation. Levis just didn’t come through when it mattered. No play calling changes that
Amen. I don’t know why it’s so hard to accept your OC should know your teams strengths and weaknesses and not dial up plays in key situations that put all the pressure on the things you struggle with. It’s not like he didn’t know the line was weak and missing it’s best player.
And it isn't entirely on Levis. He hit Brown in the hands twice on deep balls. Hit Smoke on a great screen call that ended up in a 3 and out that Smoke dropped. ST was a nightmare, top to bottom. Stoops must address ST and must do so with a dedicated coach.
That being said, this game wasn't lost because of a lack of playcalling or ingenuity in playcalling, it was lost due to execution of the plays called.
It wasn't an uphill battle to beat him. It was all downhill and we jack and jilled it. Lane didn't win this game today. He knows it. His team knows it. The world knows it.
We handed it over
I agree with all of that. A lot of players didn’t make the plays they needed to make. The Levis ones just stick out more because they were crucial, game changing mistakes.
The play calling was good enough to win. The execution just sucked.
I’m pissed too. Just a lot of stupid things happened in this game .The plays that got me was Wright tripping Brown on the kickoff return. Brown was GONE , along with Levis not waiting until the receiver was set before calling for the snap . One thing that I absolutely do think that Scan and Yenser are learning the hard way is , these aren’t pro’s . They are going to make more mistakes than the guys getting paid. From the gamefilm I’ve watched, the offensive lineman are just not on the same page FAR to often . They are just learning “big boy “ football. Don’t make the blocking schemes too complicated.
Sure but last time. IF CRod was really gassed then call a quick hitter or roll out so you don’t depend on your already not good and missing best player OLine. Or put Tevion in the backfield and give him the ball. Your point is stupid though because the play before the TO was a penalty and a dead clock. He could have sat out and come back in and run no clock. Everything you’re saying is nonsense. You’re just making stuff up because you know you’re wrong.
Correct but he needs to know these guys can’t give Levis 5-6 seconds. Any plan that requires that is a bad plan.
