Only speculating. The players need to take responsibility too. Cross said at halftime they all realized they were in a dogfight. Even that didn't ring a bell with these guys. #5 in the country. First home game. Playing in front of the student body. National TV. That wasn't motivation enough? Where the hell were the team leaders and captains? You have that "C" for a reason. This was a titanic failure on everyone, starting with Marcuus Freeman. So what's the strategy now? Us vs them? Them meaning the Iriish fans? MF does have a record of coming back after bad loss. Losing to a decent Marshall team. Beating a bad Californiia team. Losing to a bad Stanford. Beating a bad UNLV. Losing to a unknown NIU. Hopefully beating the Boilers.

- I think he has an issue with protecting the players rather than possibly going down the tubes - THEISMANCARR - 2:36pm 9/12/24
- He lived "Marshall". That he did not learn from it is the crux of a serious problem...seemingly - TakethetrainKnute - 2:24pm 9/12/24
- As long as he is the boss he has a chance to get better over the two years he probably will get, - THEISMANCARR - 2:48pm 9/12/24
- I doubt he'll get better, if he stays two years from now - cubsfanin16 - 5:14pm 9/12/24

- is he listening to anyone other than the analytics kid next to him? I find it hard to believe - WestCoastIrishFan - 1:14pm 9/12/24
- No "balls". To the media, MF says it was ALL on him. Then he tells the players what's what offline. - SteveM - 12:54pm 9/12/24
