COACHES HOT SEAT BLOG

A few comments on the Stanford – Washington game in Seattle on Thursday night….

First, Congratulations to Steve Sarkisian and his Washington Huskies for playing a hard game and getting a big win for their program.

As for the Stanford football team’s performance against Washington:

The Stanford offense is a joke. Two field goals (6 points) and only 235 yards (65 yards on the ground) on offense against a team in Washington that got blown up by LSU…

41 – 3

(LSU gained 437 total yard and 242 yards on the ground against Washington)

….only a couple of weeks ago and which could have been much worse if LSU had wanted it be is a Complete Embarrassment.

The Stanford offense in being so pitiful, uninspiring, predictable and flat-out lazy at times on the offensive front in not blocking ANYONE cost Stanford the game because the Stanford defense was asked to the impossible by being sent onto the field time and time again to stop the Washington offense and finally the Stanford defense just wore down which we thought was the goal of the Stanford offense…to wear down the Washington defense!

4 out of 16. That is the number of times that the Stanford offense converted on third down.

4 out of 16 times!

That is beyond pitiful and beyond embarrassing….it is just flat-out incompetent coaching.

As for Stanford starting QB Josh Nunes we can only ask:

“Why are you playing so scared Josh? Are you afraid you might get popped in the mouth because anytime a defender gets within 5 feet of you…you start to panic. Why is that Josh and when is the last time you really got popped in the mouth so you could find out getting popped in the mouth is what the game of football is ALL about and then you get back up and do better on the next play?”

If Josh Nunes is going to continue to play football like a scared rabbit then he will not be able to go the rest of the year in Pac-12 play because now teams will know how to rattle Nunes….

Get within 5 feet of Josh Nunes and he starts to panic and then he starts to make mistakes

Save a couple of plays in the second half the Stanford defense played great and even scored the Cardinal’s ONLY touchdown of the night BUT the Stanford offense looks almost as bad as the Oklahoma offense which is not even on the junior high school level right now and we have a comment for head coach David Shaw and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton who are directly responsible for the Stanford offense:

Standing around on the practice field cracking jokes and working about half as much as Jim Harbaugh worked is….

NOT coaching the game of football OR coaching your football team.

PERIOD.

The other teams KNOW what plays you are going to run and they are calling out YOUR plays that are about to be run from the opposing sidelines and Geez…running the ball inside when there are 9 people on the line of scrimmage is just plain STUPID especially if the Stanford offensive line is NOT going to block anyone.

As for the fade pass play that ended Stanford’s last drive on Thursday night….

The fade pass play is for LOSERS that cannot execute an accurate pass play to an OPEN receiver and just running a guy down the sideline (or to the corner of the endzone) and throwing the ball up in the air from a quarterback that is less accurate than the first four QBs on the Coaches Hot Seat flag-football team and hoping the WR comes down with it is not a legitimate offensive play but really just a…

Hope and a Wish and if David Shaw believes that Bill Walsh would have run such a low probability play on such a key 4 th down play then David Shaw has forgotten what Bill Walsh taught him about offensive football.

Here’s a thought for Stanford head coach David Shaw and the Stanford offensive staff:

Arizona is up next for Stanford on The Farm in Palo Alto on October 6 so how about putting in a FULL WORK WEEK over next 8 days before the game against the Wildcats and by the way sitting around the office or on the practice field cracking jokes is…..

NOT WORKING. PERIOD.

YOUR football team David Shaw just went up to Seattle and slopped around on offense and got beat by a Washington team that just got destroyed by LSU and thus YOUR team just Completely Wasted that GREAT EFFORT and WIN against USC last week and if you come back this week and spent the next 8 days joking around and acting like it doesn’t matter if Stanford football wins or not then we can only wonder why the head football coach at Stanford will be held to a lower standard than the other sports coaches on the campus that fight like Hell to win every game, match, meet or contest?

YES, the above is OUR opinion as American Citizens and now on to someone that doesn’t seem to believe in the First Amendment to the US Constitution

 

Steve Spurrier has another feud going with The State newspaper columnist Ron Morris

Just like last year Steve Spurrier is mad that The State columnist dared to criticize the “Great” Steve Spurrier with this time being Spurrier’s decision to play QB Conner Shaw against UAB last week which Ron Morris talks about in his latest column and his writing about Spurrier going back to when Spurrier was at Duke:

It’s not easy being a coach or a columnist, Ron Morris, The State

Tonight we saw the following story about this Spurrier – Morris disagreement with Spurrier making some comments about Ron Morris at his weekly radio show that really got our attention and pissed us the Hell off!:

Spurrier Speaks Out In Ongoing Feud With Columnist, CBS 7

The reason the above story caught our eye was Steve Spurrier’s comments on the entire issue about Ron Morris:

“Spurrier, speaking on his weekly radio show, said he was no longer “going to take it anymore,” likely in reference to a recent Morris column that questioned Spurrier’s use of quarterback Connor Shaw, who injured his shoulder earlier this season.

The coach noted that he expects positive changes to happen soon, the inference being he means at Morris’ newspaper, The State.

“I told my wife after the last article, ‘I’ve had it. I’ve had enough,’” Spurrier said. “‘I’m not going to take it anymore. I’ve had enough.’ Almost all of the Gamecocks say, ‘Coach, don’t pay any attention to him, he’s insignificant,’ which he is. He is not an important person. But they’re not having their name and reputation slandered. So, I’m the one. It’s not my mode of operation to not say anything about it. So, this is my voice here. He gets his voice in the newspaper, which he uses.”

Spurrier said that had he known he would face attacks in the local media he wouldn’t have taken the USC job in December 2004.”

What the Hell?

Steve Spurrier would not have taken the South Carolina job in 2004…

“….had he known he would face attacks in the local media?”

We are guessing that Steve Spurrier would have LOVED living in the now defunct Soviet Union where there was NO FREE PRESS and the Grand Poo-Bahs in the Soviet Politburo….like Steve Spurrier as the most recognized name and face in the state of South Carolina….wouldn’t have had his Precious Ass criticized by people “in the local media!”

Geez, Steve Spurrier, do you know how Completely ABSURD that comment about people working for newspapers in the United States of America that has a First Amendment and thus Free Speech criticizing your “Precious Ass” really is?

In case you don’t know it Steve Spurrier you are LIVING IN AMERICA and if Ron Morris, Coaches Hot Seat or ANYONE ELSE in this country wants to criticize your PRECIOUS ASS it is their RIGHT to do so and for you to try and muzzle Free Speech is not only Incredibly Un-American it also shows what an Incredibly thin skin you have and how easy it is to puncture your fragile ego.

As for Spurrier’s comment about Ron Morris and The State newspaper…

“The coach noted that he expects positive changes to happen soon, the inference being he means at Morris’ newspaper, The State.”

…meaning we assume that Spurrier believes The State newspaper is going to fire their columnist Ron Morris because Spurrier asked for that to happen we can only say if The State newspaper is so Damn gutless that they are going to bow down to the request of a…

FOOTBALL COACH

…then The State newspaper is a Complete Joke!

Here’s a thought for Steve Spurrier:  How about just coaching your football team and say whatever the Hell you want and let columnists and people in the media say whatever the Hell they want because unless you have forgotten and we are sure the Hell about to remind your Precious Ass…

You are living in the United States of America that has a little something called the…

US Constitution

AND

The Bill of Rights

…which includes a BIG THING called the First Amendment to the US Constitution….

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Oh, also in case you have forgotten Steve Spurrier the American Colonies fought a little thing called the Revolutionary War against Great Britain which was begun after the representatives of those 13 American Colonies decided in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776 to proclaim…

The Declaration of Independence

…and those Founding Fathers as they came to be called fought that Revolution for many reasons but one of those reasons was for the Very Damn Thing you are now criticizing which is the RIGHT of EVERY DAMN AMERICAN to say whatever the Hell he pleases and last time we checked….

Columnist Ron Morris of The State newspaper is an American.

The only question is: Is Steve Spurrier a REAL American because a REAL American would not waste his time criticizing another American for only doing what is his RIGHT as an American citizen which is to say whatever the Hell he pleases?

Maybe what we need is for Steve Spurrier and any of those other football coaches whose Precious Asses and Egos are broken by some other American just acting like an American and stating their opinion being sent back into time to Normandy Beach in France in June 1944 to find out exactly what Americans did on just one battlefield in World War II to defeat Nazi Germany and stand-up for the Principles of the American Republic which are found in the very Damn documents, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, which Spurrier seems to claim do not apply to Ron Morris.

Come on Steve Spurrier…..grow up and start acting like an AMERICAN.

Pac-12 Network and DirecTV – “Deal looks far off”

When we read stories like this one…

Pac-12 Network & DirecTV: Larry Scott says a deal looks far off, Pacific Takes

….we are reminded of the dozen or so trips to Washington DC we have made in the last year to talk with OUR “Elected Leaders” and various other people that work in politics and we always came away from the meetings feeling….

Much Worse about the Future of the American Republic

…than we felt going into those meetings and that is because Washington DC is now filled with people in both elected and appointed offices that care little to nothing about America and the American People BUT they do care a Helluva lot about their own Precious Asses and finding a way to stay in their elected office even if that means damaging both the country and the American People in short and long-term.

Very simply: America is now “led” by Sorry Bastards in both political parties that could…

Care the Hell Less about the Future of the American Republic and American People

…and our belief is that at the core of the dysfunction of the US Government being unable to meet and address the biggest problems of our nation is…

Very Selfish People that care about ONLY one thing…..THEMSELVES.

Look no further than that dynamic playing out in the REAL World with the REAL World being outside of the Washington beltway with this Pac-12 Network and DirecTV impasse where we have been told by people that should know that just like with the NFL Owners and NFL Officials there is only a very small difference between the two sides BUT that both sides in this Pac-12 DirecTV dispute are filled with…

Pompous Arrogant Asses that believe they are God’s Gift to Planet Earth

…and so just like with OUR dysfunctional US Government and the NFL Owners and NFL Referees it is the customer of DirecTV and the fans of Pac-12 sports that suffer the most and in our opinion the people at the..

Pac-12

AND

DirecTV

…could BOTH care the Hell less about any of us out here in America that only want to watch sports on TV of teams that we are alums of and follow.

It can’t get any simpler than that and if you are now feeling more negative about the future of the American Republic…

YOU SHOULD FEEL WORSE

….because across American business, government and academia there are…

Pompous Arrogant Asses that believe they are God’s Gift to Planet Earth

…who ONLY care about ONE thing and ONE thing only…

Their own Precious Asses

….and the pitiful thing is that many of these folks were raised by their parents, told in school and learned in college to be…

Pompous Arrogant Asses that believe they are God’s Gift to Planet Earth

…and therein lies one of the greatest dangers to the future success of our country.

Memo to Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott and the Executives at Direct TV from us here at Coaches Hot Seat:

YOU CAN BOTH GO TO HELL!

Now that is off our chest we can tune into ESPN on Friday morning which is on our TVs to the Ryder Cup and watch the Americans….

BEAT the HELL out of those Candy Ass Europeans!
