SIAP: "I have unbelievable confidence in Coach Wolford."

You're right. He should've said. "We're all doomed. It's the second game of the year, and there is nothing we can do. The offensive line will continue to suck. And the defensive line will only get worse"
Nothing to be happy about. Nothing to defend. But I hate the Mamby Pamby, cowardly, clinically depressed people that just look for all the reasons to moan and belly ache. Coach speak has to happen. I'm glad Stoops doesn't give up like the rest of you losers

I haven't given up on our players. But Stoops has had 12 years. And has lost to Shane freaking Beamer 3 times. No you don't come out and say, "Well, I'm putting a foot up his ass today". But you do come out and say, "We have some serious issues on the offensive line and we will address them." Fans aren't stupid. Hell, you'd have to be blind to just take the performance we just had and go "Oh well."
Keep kissing his ass. If he had ANY integrity, Wofford would've been gone TODAY. I don't have to look for reasons to complain.
All I have to do is post the stats from Saturday.
Stoops gave up when his ass was halfway out the door to A&M.

Publicly putting individual assistants on notice just isn’t really considered professional, and probably wouldn’t be that helpful anyway, so I wouldn’t expect any other response from Stoops, especially this early in the season.
That being said, as a fan, I’m not particularly confident in Wolford . He’s apparently a good recruiter, but his results as an on-field coach are pretty suspect lately. We rightly give Saban a lot of benefit of the doubt in who he hired, but Bama’s line play was their weakness the past 2 years, especially pass protection, and our play or lack thereof on Saturday spoke for itself.

The guy that coached Alabama last year that was full of four and five star recruits into giving up the most sacks in the SEC.
Be careful. I got flogged by the Stoops Homer's on here for pointing this out before the season began.
Wolford has shown nothing to prove he is even an average OLine coach......even at Bama. Finished dead last in the SEC in pass pro last year.
But he is a good old boy. The Youngstown nepotism needs to be addressed.
Coach speak…don’t think he needs to come out and publicly hammer him. But all of this from Stoops is desperate
Meeting with captains to talk of attitude…meaningless gesture

"I , along with Coach Wolford, are going to work on addressing our issues on the OL."
I agree you don't come out and hammer the guy, but to say something like this makes it sound like he has no issues with him.
And if he doesn't, that's a major issue.
My bet is the closed door coach's meeting gets pretty intense, much more in line with what people want to hear. I'd say many here have been called to the bosses office where he says: "Come in.....and close the door behind you."
He’s gotten fairly comfortable with regularly questioning each of many of the oc’s play calling in post games.
People are way overreacting. Our run blocking was fantastic. If it was a coaching issue, everything would suck. So while i loathe wolf, i don't see the on field coaching issue.
People on this board still arent properly valuing that kid from sc. Hes literally already the best pass rusher in the nation with a rare combo of elite athleticism and elite skill. Plus be didn't start going really crazy until mincey went out and we had a backup. So combined with a shell shocked qb it was a perfect storm.
It also cant be ignored the qb had an awful game. He held the ball too long on passes that were there, made awful reads on rpo 1) he gave on the jet instead of keeping. 7 yard loss vs 10 yard gain. He missed that read week 1 too 2) threw the wr screen instead of giving to the back. So apparently theyre going to have to take the read from him which hurts the o.
The real coaching issue is with the oc who couldn't adjust to literally one guy and couldn't adjust to his QB being way off his game. This was a game, especially second half, we had to go all in on the run but we never did.

We got nothing when we tried to run to the edges and pass protection was non existent. We can't run it up the middle the entire game or teams will stack the box.
No offense but you knew who he was talking about so does it really matter?
Of course we couldn't run to the edge because thats where their two elite guys were. Thats why stoops said in his monday pc they knew going in they needed to stay away from running to the edge.
When you have a talent disparity gap that wide, you cant expect success going at it.
They stacked the box all game because thats what you can do with two edge guys like that. Granted they didn't play some formation where everyone was on the line, but they still had their front 7 all there and a safety up. We still ran the ball very well inside. We missed one first because a rb tried to bounce and another on the sneak because eli is terrible at going low. The sneak technique absolutely must be addressed or we might as well never sneak.
