In the last 5 seasons my favorite excuse was
- Thread starter RAK
- Start date
Do to you posting again this fuzeball season, you will be repeated.
Their is no excuse for you're not keeping you're othe!

He's still learning to be a head coach.
It's the best because it's true and has no expiration date for those who use it.

I like how somehow we have to be the venue for him to learn at. Let's give this loser a decade to figure out how to coach a football team. What a winning idea for a school of our tradition.
To be clear.. RRod "learned" in one season.
Christ, you pollute this board as well?
Fill out the proper applications and I will review them and decide if you shall remain here.... When I get around to it
I think the excuses are what this coach's tenure is all about. Everything from the winds.....to practicing in ballrooms....before the ill-fated Pinstripe....and reminding us again and again how ill prepared we are for the Big 12....and .......not being able to have a QB signed and ready to play in four seasons......Excuses Rule.....Nothing encouraging happen today.....He will win one big one.....that's almost a given....everyone else seems to get better and ole Coach Snyder aint rolling over in Manhattan.
Why are a few so obsessed with a team they don't want to play? It would seem more effective to satiate the obsession by kicking their butts than by talking about them constantly even when the subject at hand has no logical connection to them.
No he didn't.
Rich was a head coach at both Salem and Glenville long before he got the WVU job, the latter for a number of years. He was terrible until Scott Tinsley showed him the offense Scott put together as the OC for Bob Goebel at WV Tech. Rich was then able to start winning at Glenville, with a few transfers funneled his way by Nehlen.
Rich later claimed he "invented" that offense. LOL!
If I were Tinsley, I'd sue Rich for royalties.
Wasn't it Rich who invented the 'take the money and run' offense? He came up with the idea right after he folded at Pitt. Rich sure knows when to hold'em.................knows when to fold'em, knows when to walk away....................and knows when to run.
Favorite excuse: "Wait until he gets his players on board."
Good for any coach, any team. A classic anytime.

Don't forget to start trashing the coach who was in last season's national championship game, Mark Helfrich. He lost at home this year to Washington St, too--and by a worse margin than RR did!
I also don't recall a Casteel defense giving up 60+ points in a game at WVU. In fact, it's only happened to him once in 14 seasons as a DC. Meanwhile, the guys Holgorsen has hired as DC have already gotten strafed for 60 or more on 3 separate occasions in just 3.5 seasons. Very ironclad!
I like, "We're just saving our real offense for (fill in blank)."
However, this is kind of a crappy excuse that easily gets refuted once the game is played.

Yeah, I always like the "oh, we only showed them the vanilla offense" line. It's even more awesome when it still gets used 5 years into a coach's tenure. We just haven't yet found the perfect moment to unveil the secret playbook. When the time comes though, look out, baby cuz it's gonna rock. Imagine how good it must be if it needs to be saved through all of these losses for when we really need it.
And, even better, I hear it was all installed in the same 3 days it takes to install the less impressive offense we've been using to lull our opponents into a false sense of security.

What excuse?????? Haven't you heard from his pathetic press conferences.......we are right where he expected us to be at!!!
Here's another one... "They just beat us on all 3 sides of the ball."
At first glance this doesn't seem like an excuse, but it is actually a veiled excuse that says, "they are just plain better than us... what was I supposed to do about it?"

? RR went 3-8 in his first season.
After that he had a 9-4 season, but he lost to every good team he played except for VT and Pitt. Losses to 8-6 Wisconsin (34-17), 11-3 Maryland (48-17), 12-1 Miami (40-23), and 9-5 Virginia in a bowl (48-22).
Holgorsen went 10-3 in his first season with a historical win in a BCS bowl over Clemson.
After that he has gone 7-6 twice and 4-8 once in the midst of switching to a very difficult conference while in his first four seasons RR had two 8 win seasons to go along with that 3-8-but RR had players recruited for BE play and the depth to play in that league (and still lost to most of the better teams played).
I think even lower division HC experience is very valuable. Obviously the management and PR duties, etc., are not comparable between DII and FBS, but the game is the same game and there is a very different perspective one gains from being in charge of all planning, preparation and game management decisions rather than just being an assistant.
Carlen was hired without any HC experience at all (and he was very young) and though he obviously did well it was a different time. Even Cignetti had been a HS head coach earlier in his career.
Holgorsen might again prove to be a very good OC, but I think he needs a wiser, calmer boss who grasps the whole game to rein in him and slow him down and prevent him from making mistakes his lack of perspective causes. Assessing field position, down and distance, time remaining, use of timeouts, and flow of the game are not among his strengths. He has improved slightly in some respects over 5 years, but he does not seem fully capable of tailoring decisions to the situation because of his obvious infatuation with playing fast and his stubbornness that prevents him adapting well to his personnel.
