IMHO, this is all on MF as much as I love this guy. He saw what was happening in real time.

Apparently, gave no orders to run the ball vs Miami unless MF was also down with Denbrock's game plan. Knew what was going on with the defense in Fall camp and through the first two games and let it happen. As a former DC he should have known better almost immediately. Once the defense was allowed to react instead of over thinking , you saw things improved. I think he knows the early season fails and hopefully fixes it immediately if not sooner. Another thing that bugs me is these late game uncontested touchdowns the defense gives up. Eye test matters though no one will admit it.

  • I think Pete Sampson nailed one post-mortem fact regarding Freeman and his staff. - AlbanyIRISH - 8:42am 12/9/25 (9) [View All]
    • The 30 passes were too mostly made up of little flare passes. They were selling out for the run. - THEISMANCARR - 11:05am 12/9/25

      • I have no problem with the decision to throw the ball - McIrish - 9:43am 12/9/25
      • "Eye Test" and "Style Points" became critical after 2 losses. Poor system (as we see) but demands - TakethetrainKnute - 9:17am 12/9/25
    • Valid criticism...and raised here more than a few times pre-mortem... - TakethetrainKnute - 9:01am 12/9/25
      • Last year new OC, this year new DC and Freshman QB. - PaND - 9:17am 12/9/25
    • That's a fair point and my 1 gripe with the Freeman era. Early season hiccups have plagued him. - LanceManion - 8:45am 12/9/25
