I've been on a rampage the last 3 weeks and ragging on the coaches quite a bit. I believe that they should be fired, and the AD dumped at the end of the season. But in no way am I being critical of our players. They have been playing their hearts out and I damn well appreciate the effort they've been showing each week. It's a damn shame these coaches can't take advantage of the talent and heart these players have. They deserve so much better. Go Bears!!!

Hear, hear! As far as I can tell, our players have been giving maximum effort.

It annoys me to no end because I think (besides the oline, and yes that is a pretty big besides) we have a good team. Easily the most talent under Wilcox. Obviously the ILB and corners are really good, TE are difference makers, Nando flashes, etc. but our 2nd and 3rd string RB and WRs have been really productive when they have opportunities and the Dline is adequate.

This coaching staff has blown the best opportunity to change the narrative about the program since 2007. We should be 5-0 in the top 20 going into a hyped matchup vs Pitt.

I think the O-line can be good, but they're not road graders. They're not bad at pulling and trap blocking. The main problem is that Bloesch has tried to use them as if they're archetypal road graders. Bloesch's vanilla offense makes them look worse because they're not able to steamroll defenders all night long.
