Crouch shouldn't start again but this coaching staff don't have the cajones to make the move happen.

Well I'm done this year. See you all for the opener next season. We won't be good next year either, but for some reason I will probably be back.

If you're sitting down to watch a team that plays 18 true freshmen and starts like 10 and you're expecting any better result than this, I'm not sure what else to tell you. Whether we win nine games in 2019 or we win three, this is how we're going to look in 2017 either way. This is sausage being made, and that ain't ever pretty.

I get what you're saying but Purdue has less talent than us and they look night and day better than us.

Problem is, do you have any faith that this staff will have a better than average offense put together by 2019. Keep in mind that our HC has never put together a competent offense at any level of football.

+1. At least put your best foot forward. Give the team the best chance to win. Losing while making progress is understandable, but the offense looks frustrated b/c they know the qb is holding them back.

Sometimes coaching staffs can install systems that make less talented players play at a higher level. And sometimes coaching staffs can take raw, younger talent and Coach them up to make them more competitive as a unit. Our coaching staff doesn't appear to be either - especially on the offensive side of the ball.

People need to step back from the ledge. Anyone expecting any sort of success this year was expecting too much.

The conservative offensive plan would have worked if the defense had executed. The defense simply wasn’t able to pressure the qb, largely because it wasn’t big, fast and strong enough. Those things will get better in time.

Don’t judge now. Judge in 2019. People who don’t have patience for that should probably find another team to watch for a while.

Not expecting a bowl season, just hoping for a better showing for the freshmen to build on.

I was not expecting a win but I was expecting that the team could make the score respectable.

At my age, I am running out of time to be patient.
