The OL is the core, especially for the Daz game, and they are not good.<br /><br />Interestingly, when Daz was hired he was touted as an OL guy, a Offesnvie specialist and a great recruiter. Turns out he is none of the above.<br /><br />In his first 2 years, he knew he had a need for many more OL (the so-called Spaz OL deficit). Daz tried very hard to fix the problem but failed miserably. Offering upwards of a 100 OL prospects over 2 years. He only got 3 or so, and one quit the team. So, for the core of his program - an OL - he badly mismanaged recruiting. Then once the group got to the Height, he failed to coached them into a solid OL unit. Again, Daz is known as an OL recruiter and an OL coach but look at the results. <br /> <br />And look at Rivals (and other recruiting sites) now. Daz is last in the ACC for 2017 recruits and was last in recruits in ACC for 2016 class. Very low among P5 teams for quality of recruits too. The recruits know he sucks and are staying away. <br /><br />BC need a new coach to change the perceptions of BC football ASAP.<br /><br />****** Daz last beat an ACC team with a winning record over 4 years ago and none since. He can't compete ******<br /><br />El Miz - funny! I laughed reading your comment. I am to blame! Man Up Daz. Don't be a Hillary. <br /><br />mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-87786601031281055032016-11-15T09:01:22.253-05:002016-11-15T09:01:22.253-05:00And ultimately this is all Bates' fault as he ...And ultimately this is all Bates' fault as he interviewed Adazzio and presumably asked him about his philosophy, etc.BCAlum2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/18426748457186497109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-18223293021416759912016-11-15T08:44:57.637-05:002016-11-15T08:44:57.637-05:00The OL is the key to all the problems.

This is so much more appalling because BC was rightfully known as OLine U. BC could never attract the out-of-this world athlete, but could always get a huge, blue-collar OL, who with proper coaching and experience, could develop into an NFL caliber player. Teams hated playing us because by the third and fourth quarter, these guys had simply beaten the opposition into submission. This all started to change under Jags and his emphasis on zone blocking and smaller, "quicker" linemen. Now Adazzio, a guy who claims to be an OL coach at heart, has taken the ineptitude to a whole new level with players who would never have been back-ups in the TOB OLine U days.<br /><br />Also, do not overlook the significance of Sgt Slaughter's idiotic initial decision to try to run a spread, running QB style offense when he first arrived here. Any novice with even the slightest knowledge of BC football, or college football for that matter, could have told you that would fail at BC as we will never be able to attract the type of athletes required to run that offense (geography, academics). He then abandons that after last years disaster despite having recruited 3 classes of kids who he thought would fit that system. The result is this hodge-podge of shit known as our offense. To top it all off, we collectively have the worst group of receivers in the country for about the fifth year running.

It's all about the OL, stupid.Running Smith all season akin to Murphy style offense would have him killed before game 5.He simply ain't big enough to carry that load, and throwing the ball ain't in his repertoire.<br /><br />What has become as painfully obvious as anything these past 4 seasons is that Addazio is incapable of developing talent. He supposedly was an OL guy. Beyond the QB position, is there any greater example of his ineptitude than the OL?<br /><br />He has been given way to much credit for the incredible good fortune that was Tyler Murphy. He hoped he would catch lightening in a bottle with Towles. How's that working for you, Sarge.<br /><br />This guy is a fraud as a D1 HC, plain and simple. But he is our loveable fraud, reminds us the good Rev.

Bring in a team of guys like Towles who have as much connection to the school as Snowflake Shaughnessy and play with them.<br /><br />Do away with freshman through senior players and load up with fifth year students who have already graduated from other schools. Look at all the classroom space you will fill up with scholars and not kicks. <br /><br />I look at other schools and see they have quarterbacks starting as freshman or who have been on the team for years. It is a pleasure to watch them play and develope. We don't have that. You might as well bring in Park League players as fifth year seniors. First of all they aren't that good not having been drafted, secondly they take the heart out of s team by putting strangers above guys that have been around for years. What a sucky idea bringing them in. Only a desperate coach would lower himself to doing that. Would you send your kid to play for a coach that does that? Time for a breath of fresh air. <br /><br />baldysheehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206103666610247439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-31456848480678177312016-11-14T20:49:50.263-05:002016-11-14T20:49:50.263-05:00This person needs to be removed from campus immedi...This person needs to be removed from campus immediately. <br />http://www.bceagles.com/coaches.aspx?rc=163&path=footballKnuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-45513595594871350352016-11-14T20:46:21.707-05:002016-11-14T20:46:21.707-05:00The analysis in this post that the line or individ...The analysis in this post that the line or individuals on it played well is a sick fucking joke.<br /><br />It is the lines fault that the QB has not had a "pocket" all season. It the lines fault that the RB's haven't had more that 3-4 runs for more than 25 yards all season(against GT, LVILLE, FSU, CLEMSON, Syracuse - not counting Umass etc).<br /><br />The defense cannot get off the field(and ends up giving up 40-50 points) because the offense is incapable of sustaining a drive. When they do they turn the ball over or worse commit bunches of penalties. I don't recall a team that commits 2, 3 or 4 in a row to crush a drive seemingly every game. <br /><br />The entire problem with this team is the offensive line.<br /><br />Addazio has not bagged Towles because he knows next season, his last chance at BC, he will be using a 5th year transfer. If he had another QB Towles would have been decimated personally by Addazio. He won't get a 5th year QB to sign here if he mistreats Towles(who is far from the problem with the offense).Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-78231968067340451802016-11-14T20:25:24.382-05:002016-11-14T20:25:24.382-05:00JBQ - did Observer College hack into your account?...JBQ - did Observer College hack into your account? Towles stinks, plain and simple. don't you routinely post about how the SEC isn't as good as its cracked up to be? why, then, is Towles playing for a perennial door mat worth mentioning? he's garbage and should've been at least alternating time with Wade.<br /><br />i said last year after Wade went down the team should go with Willis at Option QB and run the Murphy offense. i didn't know what we had with Smith but that would've worked as well. why we completely abandoned an offense that at least knew what it was trying to do i guess we'll never know - daz probably doesn't know either.<br /><br />BTW daz tonight in his horrid weekly radio spot blamed "negative bloggers" for his inability to recruit. you hear that Mod 34b - coach thin skin is coming after you!<br /><br />counting down the days until Daz and Bates are let go in a joint announcement. i'll take Tuesday, November 29 as the day it happens.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-1984727370854205632016-11-14T19:48:59.631-05:002016-11-14T19:48:59.631-05:00Jeff Smith couldn't hit the side of a barn fro...Jeff Smith couldn't hit the side of a barn from five feet away. If he started, then he would face ten man lines. Towles has unbelievable talent. He is 6 ft 5, 250, and runs a 4.5 40. He started for two years in the SEC at Kentucky. Actually, he is too good for the team and has absolutely no coaching, maybe a little bit. His grandfather was Jim Bunning of the Detroit Tigers. He has the build of Tim Tebow, only he can throw. He will play in the pros. You have to live in a dream world to blame Towles.

Daz's job is on the line but he still can't make the right call.
