I’ve been a fan of his for a long time
He’s our most successful coach since we’ve joined the pac 12.
I agree that his time is up. We haven’t looked this bad since the early embree era.
The lack of discipline and uninspired play is horrible.

Can't remember the last time we've seen the whole football team (including changes) play an entire game. We have weaknesses sure. Some position groups have good games then a bad game. At the end of the day this team consistently does not play an entire 60 minutes. The one common denominator is the guy at the top
On top of it all, the team doesn't improve as the season progresses.
Someone else said it but 2016 was the product of a bunch of seniors tired of getting their ass kicked, nothing more nothing less

Well the thing is, what can you even say any more? More "well, we have work to do", more "well we need to focus and decide what kind of team we are"? It's falling on deaf ears, we're fatigued and too jaded to hear it.
We went 4-0 against totally ****ty teams, cumulative record what, 1-14 or something?
We then get a decent win against ASU, won by a touchdown. They're a conference opponent, and now they're 6-4. That was good. Not amazing, but solidly good.
We then lose to the worst USC team in recent memory, the year we shoulda won. But they're USC, so we shrug it off.
We then lose to Washington. UW is clearly overrated, but we didn't really even make it close. Not a blowout, but we didn't give 'em a run for their money much. But they're "the best team in the Pac-12", so we shrug it off a bit and look to some "easy wins"
We then lose to, yes, the WORST team in the Pac-12. We're all livid, rattled, and scared. Best chance for a win for bowl eligibility, and to feel at all okay with shrugging off USC & UW losses.
We then lose to Arizona. Winnable game, but damn, we're all tired of A) being the Washington Generals to the ****ing Globetrotter of the week who plays the game of his life, it's not a coincidence, and B) making excuses for losing winnable games. Shoulda played to win and brought it home.
...we then lose to WSU. Sure, top 10 team, but they ain't Clemson or Bama. They're Washington state, who we came to an early lead on, this was a game we coulda said, yeah, that rough stretch of USC to Zona sucked, but we've got some steam in the engine yet, don't lose hope. Instead, we get rocked like we expect to, and are a beaten team.
Pac-12 whipping boy again. Falling apart.
No confidence, literally we have nothing to lose with regards to morale. I couldn't even watch the second half. It's going to be a struggle to get myself to watch this team "fight" next Saturday. I feel like my heart can more easily take seeing a losing score afterwards more than watch them play this poorly. Like in the Hawk/Embree era.

Oh, I believe in coach Logan ... or sorry, yesterday.

We always knew he stuck with coaches too long. And Bernardi and Adams has sunk his ship. I blame what is happening squarely on those two.
The could put you and me on the OL and it would be about the same....
I agree.
I’ve rewatched every game from 2016 season several times. That season was entirely about grit and a core of four-year players many of whom got solid run in the NFL.
That team scrapped and scraped for wins. It was on the players on the field. “Players win games,” was practically a coaching admission. We used the QB as a fullback to get an extra blocker on the field. We had one of the best rookie RB’s in the NFL this year, with more heart and determination than entire teams we had in the previous decade. We had three big, mobile JC DL transfers. But there were glaring holes in schemes and overall talent level (on the OL especially), and we saw that against the really good teams.
I haven’t wanted to believe 2016 was an aberration, and we have some great young talent now that is really exciting. But they need better coaching, scheming, and development (or we can wait around and hope to get four-year starters to stay together and crank out wins in the later years on experience, grit, and frustration). As it would be the “players who win games.” The coaches don’t seem to be adding much - or enough.
