Classy: Montez does an interview on CU radio. GB gives him some advice and accepts it with a “that’s good advice.” He didn’t have to do any of that. (Especially considering the advice was get right back to work getting better tomorrow.).
are you kidding? MM was national head coach of the year in 2016 and had 1 out of 6 seasons where he had a winning record.....it's a tragedy he got fired.I still cringe when fans thank MM for "rebuilding" us and making us sooo much better.
You are right, it's frustration for us too. I looked at JMac like I did Scotty McKnight. Then I read Ann Henry. I also was one of the only ones unimpressed by his tribute to his dad this week, then the MM all over today, then the perceived lack of effort.. Changed my opinion. Made it easy to mob mentality jump on this. In the end though you are right, it shouldn't be the judge of his character, it's just what I want to believe right now. It's wrong, and I'll get over it. Maybe.Ok, but that has nothing to do with Jay Mac and accusations that he’s purposely dogging it and not catching passes because he’s made about his dad. Calling somebody’s ingetrity and character out like that is a pretty serious claim, especially when it’s a kid like Jay who has been a great player for CU.
That seems to be the theme--no players (that I know of) have gone out of their way to praise and/or stick up for Chiaverini (or Eliot for that matter).Oh!! Even more interesting on Montez interview: “I really hope they keep Coach Roper (as part of new coaching staff).”
No mention of Chev.

MM turned us into a higher quality G5 team, which was an improvement, but still nowhere near good enough. There is some serious talent in places (thanks in large part to Chev) but there’s still so little depth and we are so weak in a lot of the areas that really matter. The team could give a heck of a fight to a lot of teams in the nation, but ultimately there’s just not enough talent, speed, size, etc to get them over the hump playing almost exclusively a P5 schedule, which is how you could define most good G5 teams.
Frustrating season but I’m glad it’s over and I’m hopeful that we can recruit a ton more like 2017 (and better) than what MM did the rest of the time here. No more classes in the ****ing 60s and 70s.
What will we do without the read option 4 times a drive? Honestly our playcalling was awful down the stretch, cal game included. Plane Jane awful scheme and guys like Montez are allowed to do whatever the hell they want. The discipline in this game was atrocious. We need to find somebody who will coach these guys hard. I can’t take any more of Montez’s terrible mechanics, throwing the ball off his back foot amongst hundreds of other things.
bet you weren't thinking that 6 weeks ago
First, Beau Baldwin needs to go. Want him? I wouldn’t suggest it. I like you guys. We seriously need to recruit better talent on offense and this staff has not been able to do that at all. Hopefully, we can get a competent big time OC and convince some kids to come to Berkeley with the combo of early PT and an amazing defense.
He’s frustrating for me. He makes a ton of horrible decisions on where to go with the ball, especially for a junior. Then, he’ll make a great read, like the TD pass to Nixon. I just expect him to be better with those decisions. Too often he throws into coverage and too often he shows a complete lack of awareness in the pocket, rolling out of it when he doesn’t need to. He just doesn’t seem to be progressing like you’d expect an upperclassman should.I actually think that Montez could have called a better game on his own. The kids has really added a lot of knowledge and is obviously paying attention to it. I think he made a few audibles on his own and each one was effective.
Calling him a "great player" for CU is a little much I think. He had some great moments but he has been an average player for his career. And his attitude today, and all week really, has been quite a bit short of all about the team.Ok, but that has nothing to do with Jay Mac and accusations that he’s purposely dogging it and not catching passes because he’s made about his dad.

I agree. Not a great player. Punched above his weight more often than not but his career here will not be memorable.Calling him a "great player" for CU is a little much I think.

Tough situation for him certainly, but are you about your dad or about your team?
JMac would not have played at any other P12 school (besides maybe OSU, even that’s a stretch.) That’s a fact.I agree. Not a great player. Punched above his weight more often than not but his career here will not be memorable.
And yet the coaches still had him out there. You'd think the coaches maybe would have given other guys a shot, but this is the CU coaching staff we're talking about.I agree. Thankful for the great efforts he gave during his career here. That said, he didn't want to be out there tonight and it showed.
Disagree. He is a very good, reliable slot receiver.JMac would not have played at any other P12 school (besides maybe OSU, even that’s a stretch.) That’s a fact.
That’s not a fact. He’s been very effective in the slot.JMac would not have played at any other P12 school (besides maybe OSU, even that’s a stretch.) That’s a fact.
Did we win?
Could it be that the design of our plays is absolute trash as well? I have a hard time figuring out if our routes are designed to actually get anyone open or if they're just routes.He’s frustrating for me.

Good question. When other team’s QB scrambles, they find WRs running free for big plays. When Montez scrambles it’s like our WRs just stop or disappear completely. It’s like they have no plan whatsoever for a scrambling QB.Could it be that the design of our plays is absolute trash as well?

Oh, ****. We didn't get annexed by Nebraska while I was out, did we?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOwe're winning at life, man. don't worry!
