«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 281 of 281That first down was huge!
Did they really just snap the ball with 15 seconds left on play clock? Beyond dumb.
Got that in spite of ourselves.
Finally letting play clock run down. So dumb earlier in drive.
Punt it
Timeouts ....
Finally letting play clock run down. So dumb earlier in drive.
Addazio - you deserve to lose this game.
We are screwed if they get the ball back and get a TD. No timeouts will leave us no time to counter.
I can't understand how the commontators don't understand that our rushing attack sucks. 3.5 ypc sucks
You have to punt here. He should have tried to draw them off, take the delay penalty and then punt. Now we have no timeouts, and we don’t get it they are close enough to kill rest of clock on scoring drive. So dumb.....
Wait a minute, you called a timeout for that?
Wasted an f’ing timeout to do that. Could have done that if you thought ahead....that right there was so dumb
Excellent use of a time out ! Can’t make this stuff up.
Sorry to be so negative but we should be ahead comfortably with a proper game plan. Instead - Oh boy!
Ha...knew it.
You deserve this, Addazio you effing asshole.
Addazio is a complete moron. His game management this entire half has been a disaster.
I've been waiting for that all night.
I want the SOB fired!!!!!!!
Let's run AJ up the middle to tie or win this game.
How did running an injured player 35 times work out for you, Coach Addazio?
Addazio deserves this loss. He should be left on the tarmac.
Of course a FG could win it....
Our early missed FG really hurt.
We are out of time outs for absolutely no good reason.
What a joke.
Oh my goodness!
That’s what happens when you’re gutless Daz. Should have gone for it but blow a timeout to try to draw an offsides. Worthless.
Dazoshit wasted all our timeouts. I want him fired!!!
I can’t say enough bad things about the inept coaching
Florida State touchdown! Have faith .We will still pull it out. Count on Dazio.
That last offensive drive was not player execution. 100% coaching. And now, it is up to them to fix the mess.
Had nothing to do with the clock. It was purely the players’ fault.
Smith with another drop.
Dazoshit with burned time outs, chickenshit calls. No way we win now.
A loss will cost Daz his extension, so not all bad news.
Here's your season, BC.
Here's your job, Addazio.
FIRE HIM TOMORROW
I want Dazoshit fired tonight!!!!!!
Brown is so fucking stupid. Throw the fucking ball.
When you can be down one with fourth and ten with no timeouts, hey, you gotta take that #ExtendDaz
His insistence on playing an injured Dillon and a mediocre Brown have cost us this game. And blowing timeouts in a close game. He's an idiot. Can't stand him 7-5 again
Addazio has to go period horrible loss
Fourth and 1 with chance to seal it and the pussy punts. Nuff said. He is a fake tough guy. Been saying it for 6 years.
Bye bye Daz!
Ok - the chant can begin.
Addazio must go.
What a disappointment.
Alumni will be empty Saturday. Too bad for the seniors - but understandable.
We saw this loss coming all week - but especially as the game unfolded.
Addazio and Loeffler must go.
Addazio and Loeffler must go.
Addazio and Loeffler must go.
We have hit Addazio’s ceiling yet again
Daz you coward.
"7-win Steve" does it again.
MOTHERFUC*ER!!! I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS FUC*ING COACH.
You knew that BC would lose after punting. Happens every time you’re gutless. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving coach.
And how do you not have your safety over the top to prevent the bomb on that last drive?
2.5MM a tear to this asshole. Are you fucking kidding me. I am so sick of this bullshit.
I guess 7, 8 or 9 games we were going to a shitty bowl anyway. But 9 sounds a hell of a lot better than 7. Not happy with the coaching but I am not happy with the players also. They did not show up to play at Purdue and NC State and they did not have a sense of urgency tonight. They share the blame for this loss.
FSU is bad this year and we just lost to them because of Addazio and Loeffler - period.
We relied on an injured QB who didn't practice all week, and an injured running back who Addazio made run the ball 35 times.
The guy should be fired just for that.
Tell us why BC didn't win, Addazio - other than your own stupidity.
Opponents just laugh at us because of you.
And we have enough good players to win. Instead we lose because of you.
What a disappointment. This year had the potential to be special, Mr. 7 and 6.
What's your plan for the game, coach? We're going to run the rock! Brilliant.
There is a pattern of no creativity. The gameplans are embarrassingly simple. The most progress I’ve seen is from #10 Sebastian. If you gameplan simple, you recruit badly.
Look, you can't win them all. Daz almost won the game do give him credit for that. We got seven wins this year. We went to # 13 in the nation. Word is if Daz doesn't get a five year extension he's looking yo head to Louisville. Once he's gone you'll appreciate him.
Daz should be fired..no questions asked, year 6 and lose to a team like that, pathetic.
However I agree with Mod, mouse only wants to be active on Twitter to 5 fans and get a Big Ten job. Have zero faith he has balls to make a move on Daz.
The game of football is all predicated in passing niwcdyecti ruke changes implemented to increase scoring and fan attendance.
Only this idiot runs a hurry up offense to then run the ball. Comical if not so sad.
eagleboston is right too - players could have done a lot more, but are probably sick of the Addazio/Loeffler bullshit juggernaught.
Don't know what the future holds, but it's tough being a fan when your team plays to not lose and to win ugly.
But by not going for it on 4th and 1, you weren't even playing "not to lose" - you were playing "to lose".
They had the whole team in the box = and easy first down throw or TD throw and you chicken out, Addazio. Pitiful. Lose like a man, you sorry excuse for a game coach.
Shabby, I think there are 3 main things an AD should do to succeed.
1. Win. Yeah, pretty obvious. Part of that is getting rid of underperforming coaches and hiring better ones. It's early in his tenure here, but MJ is a work in progress here. We'll see about women's hoops for starters.
2. Raise money. He came here with the rep of being able to do this and he's come through already.
3. Be good with the fans. Distant third, but having an AD who's visible and seems fan-friendly is nice. MJ seems to be good at this too.
BB was absolutely awful at all three. Fr. Leahy has hired a couple of ADs and some provosts who haven't worked out too well. Where's the board on this?
Bottom Line: Florida State played AWFUL. It took a lot of help from the BC sideline to keep them around.
Also, is it just me, or is Brown much less athletic than advertised. A number of times he could have easily escaped, bought time, or scrambled for a few, and most resulted in a negative play. My wife says he reminds her of RG3, post ACL. Yikes.
EB—because the safety bit on a 10 yard pattern run by the tight end. Fault of the coaches on that one. Can’t believe it wasn’t drilled into his head from practice.
It was so cowardly that I didn’t believe it at first, but Addazio deliberately took that delay of game and chose to kick. I loathe Daz.
I'm trying hard not to swear.
Really, it would be so much better for a guy my age to just walk away.
Your move, Mr. Jarmond. We know all we need to know about Addazio with his best team.
He can't cut the mustard. As they say in horse racing - show me the past performance.
The Boston College Eagles Football Team will never advance with this guy.
We know that for sure.
Ted, I miss Tom O'Brien. I will not miss Addazio. He is a terrible game day strategist and a horrid recruiter of quarterbacks. Matt Ryan is the last decent BC quarterback and that is a long time ago. Also, he is going to have the same record in Year 6 as in Year 1. Zero progress at all.
It will be impossible to fire a guy with 7 wins as anyone considering BC would be hesitant to take the job if you fire a bowl-eligible coach. But he should not be granted an extension until he proves he can take this team to the next level (I actually fear we will regress next year due to all of the departures of seniors).
It's time to thank Coach for his contributions to BC and wish him well on his next stop. There was one stretch in the second quarter when we got roughly four penalties in five plays;there's no forgiving the o-line or their coach for zero discipline.The coaching staff as a group is responsible for the imbecility of the wasted time out at the end. We wasted a great game from Allen.I wonder what Jarmond can do.
91 - Spot on about analysis of an AD. #1 is hiring good coaches who win who make your job easier. #2 is fundraise, maybe 1A but can’t do 2 without 1 and 3 is listen to fans.
MJ has listened to fans so give him credit. With regards to fundraising he has launched a new campaign but losing to the worst coached team in ACC when you have a chance to win 10 games and your Basketball team losing to IUPUI he has zero chance of raising any money. No one cares about women’s basketball it’s irrelevant.
Clearly we will see what he does with the coaches. Moves should be made on both but we will see. Fundraising 150M is directly tied to what he does with coaches. He keeps Daz with next years poor home schedule and you may see 25k attendance all year.
To Daz credit if he was fired, he will leave program in better shape then he inherited which is the goal of every coach. Recruiting has improved and roster has decent depth and talent.
Jarmond is as gutless at Daz. He’s not going to make any moves. Daz isn’t even his guy and he still doesn’t have the testicular fortitude to fire him. What the heck is going on?
This bum may be worse than the bum coaching hoops.
Everyone is in basic agreement: Daz needs to go.
The biggest problem that BC will face is that we won't make a move until the end of the season. Waiting until after a bowl game would be complete idiocracy. Other teams are already lining up their candidates. Other than being a P5 school, BC's only advantage in a search would be that there is some roster depth and it's not a complete ground up rebuild (like a Kansas or a Louisville).
Let a Louisville take him, but they will go all out for Brohm.
The pitiful play calling in 1st half was just foreshadowing. While the offense played better most of second half, the coaching staff mismanaged the clock and the timeouts. We all saw it!
First, he could not challenge a horrendous spot because he only had 1 timeout. And then, the 4th and 1 piece de resistance should be his epitaph. I believed the right move was to punt at that point, but TO KEEP THE TIMEOUT. Have them come to the line and try to draw them off and then take a delay. You have to be prepared to do that....this guy has proven he is neither prepared nor adept enough to think that fast....
Sure there was some shoddy QB play and the defense disappeared in the 2nd half, but this loss was on the coaches. If he says otherwise he is a liar.
CLOWN SHOW GOT TO GO. There is a blazer in Bristol with your name on it, Daz. Run don’t walk — it is your dream job and it will be beautiful.
Ted,
If Daz goes to Louisville I will be pumped. Easy wins vs a predictable and outdated playmaking coach who feasts vs d2 teams to be above .500. Daz belongs at new Mexico state or uconn, not BC.
MJ worked with Ryan Day (yes ATL I am going to join your fan club) and Day is NE guy. Roster is in good shape and you have Dillon for another year. You should be able to get Day at $3.5-4M per (ACC network $$ is kicking in soon so $$ is no issue any more) and he will win with roster. You could get this done next weekend.
Your move MJ
The Steve Addazio era needs to come to an orderly close. The Jim Christian era may also need to come to a close after this season. They both have been treated extremely fairly by BC. Mr. Jarmond needs a plan because these guys are going to make him look very bad if he gives them a lot more rope. You get rid of people underneath you who will make you look bad.
Chase Rettig would have brought this team to 9 and 2, at least.
Tyler Murphy also.
I have to believe that there will be heavy competition at QB next season.
One thing about Addazio - once he chooses you, he sticks with you, no matter how you perform. Just another indication he's not up to the job.
TGS, That game was an embarrassment. Now I know how your "son" feels.
More cock talk from TGS. Always have my penis on your mind.
Why in the ever living God would you want Ryan Day? That guy is almost as worthless as Daz. At that point I’d rather keep Daz and his lesser salary.
John - great comment. Jon Hillman starting at running back despite being so bad he cannot start on the worst P5 team in the country in Rutgers then I’m pretty sure Dillon should have started from Day 1
I must be optimistic and hope that daz pulls out a miracle and beats Syracuse if he does then the stench of this loss will be mitigated. I know this is asking an awful lot but why not dream
Daz needs to go for simple reason we need QB competition. As John correctly described, Daz made up his mind on Brown and will never change. BC cannot have him as QB for next two years, he is simply not good enough. His numbers where okay in 2nd half but he missed a number of big throws in 2nd half and his first half performance will go down in the annuals of BC history with worst performances of all time by a QB. Further his performance at Purdue and 1st half of NC State might have been worse. Whatever it is, he doesn’t have it. If we have to watch him for 2 more years then my eyeballs might fall out.
