[QUOTE="CubsIlliniFan, post: 1553556, member: 747562"] We are out of position, Week in and week out, teams have figured out Lovie’s D. Week in and week out, we make zero adjustments. We are out of position or take bad angles to the ball. Week in and week out, we have either a late hit or a targeting ejection. We rarely get called for PI because we are no where near the receiver when he catches the ball. Poor tackling when we do get close to the ball carrier. That is on Lovie. Now we have the offense. We have no rhythm. The line gets beat, our blocking schemes are chaotic and not effective. You have a roll out QB and they try to make him a drop back. Bottom line, it is coaching. Unprepared week in and week out. Undisciplined week in and week out. I feel for the players who have to go through this. We are worse than the Beckman years because we have talent and waste the talent. We are better than this with the talent we have. You could put any coaching staff from the top 25 and from the start of training camp, we would be much more competitive with a win or two. Yesterday, I saw Fitz at NU come out of his shoes on a PI call on his team late in the game. Where is that from Lovie? No fire, no emotion at all. Players feed off the emotion of the coaches. Lovie knows he is done. He should go to JW and resign. I thought this hire was really good but what I am seeing here, is worse than the Gary Moeller hire. I never thought it could get worse than that. But here we are. [/QUOTE]
