The answer is right in front of us. These kids are producing mental mistakes by the ton....football is 90% mental IMO. If the guys don't execute, it doesn't happen. It starts upstairs first. It can be fixed. It can be fixed by this staff.

It can be fixed. It can be fixed by this staff. Not to be difficult, but how is 88 pass attempts and only 1 sack mental? You mean they take the wrong angle or route the qb every time? That is not mental. One can only hope that our young players are more athletic on defense. I just don't get how its mental.

Jerome Heyward & Jonathan Bailes now there were 2 guys that appreciated the NT position. I think Rocky needs to seek out guys like them rather than getting DTs and trying to plug square pegs in round holes. I say widen the search radius and look to the east of SD say Miss. Ark. or even Fla. and find one of those wide bodies that might be happy in SD.

Impact DL are probably the rarest of high school recruits. They are few and far between and get eaten up by the big schools very quickly. criticizing our staff for not hauling in these types frequently is not a legitimate criticism given our standing in the FBS world. There's no question that the impact players are out of our reach, but good dlinemen aren't. We have to wait until our guys become seniors? That's hogwash Rocky is feeding the naive!! Let's get a coach who can coach up underclassmen instead of belittling them in public because they aren't seniors. Long should get a job in the NFL where they're all coached up. He's wasting his and our time here.

Wide spread but mental....still. from my fingers to your eyeballs, using Proboards

Boise State just had 3 DL drafted in 1 class (with two coming in the first three round) but clearly getting a good Dlineman is impossible. Other powerhouse schools that got a Dlineman drafted included Memphis, Marshall,UCONN, Troy, Rice, Regina (yeah neither do I), and Georgia State.

This is rich, so we won't be able to attract a decent coach, because they are fearful that if they beat absolutely no one and only beat 3 win or less teams they might be terminated? Why would we want a loser like that? We have one of those employed right now. monty thats really not far from the truth. coaches don't usually know what they are inheritting until they get there and they want assurances that they will be given time to recruit their own guys and build the program their way. obviously this rocky situation is different in the fans minds but to other coaching candidates probably not so much. other coaches will simply see a guy who went to a bowl game the year before, then went 2-3 to start his second season and got canned because the local village idiots organized a mob to ax him without thinking about the consequences. and to make matters worse it happened at a school that frankly has no right to be picky about coaches. and thats what gets me the most about all of this. you kids all pretend like we are some storied powerhouse program with tradition and fan support that can bring in a much better coach at the drop of a hat. i've got news for you. sdsu is not storied, nor a powerhouse, we lack tradition, we lack fan support, we lack a winning history. and turning into a bunch of big headed, arrogant retards with grand delusions of what you think our program SHOULD be but are not patient enough to get through the growing pains that it takes to get there (see fire Fisher crowd), does not help the situation it only exacerbates it. honestly the group of you here that wants to fire him now is a bunch of spoiled little whiners who expect everything in life now and when you don't get it someone's gotta pay. well guess what, you're entitled to your opinion, but so am I. and mine is that you are all a bunch of f#cking idiots.

The last thing any Aztec fan is is spoiled. And, asking for him to beat anyone with a pulse is not being a spoiled little whiner. Going through growing pains when his history shows there is no rainbow on the other side and he's 62, his defense is especially the problem is a waste of friggin time. So, we can pretend like everything will magically change - it won't - under some bs belief that just letting a guy that can't get it done ride it out is noble - it isn't - and just make the hole a real coach has to dig the program out of bigger, or we can get a guy that knows how to win, has won before, and will win again. Growing pains that lead to shrinking is a fools errand and really just self-flagellation. You win no points in heaven by standing by someone that is driving the program into the ground.

I understand that but where you see someone who can't succeed others see someone who can. That may change but I don't think using his record at new Mexico is a fair judgement tool. That place is football hell and he kept them competitive. And trust me I did not stand by Chucky, I wanted him gone after year 2 but in my mind he and locksley are rare failures that warrant not being given a fair chance at building a program. Chucky lost the players but rocky sure hasn't.

The issue is 2 State schools beat us. We can't out recruit them? We pay our head coach more and have a better City. That is what is hard to understand.

Rocky is a player's coach. He takes the heat and does not point fingers. He has already taken heat for kickers that could not kick. Note that as soon as they did better in practice, he started using them. The defensive line can not put pressure on the QB. The defensive problems start there. For 2 years, Brady was responsible for the DL. I can not remember the player's name, but he was a 4 star everyone was excited about, that decommitted from us and went with Brady. Rocky had this year for fix it. Will the players he recruited this year pan out? We shall see over the next couple of years. Why does Brady get a pass for the DL he recruited and Rocky take the blame? However, I do blame Rocky for the increase in penalties. Some is inexperienced players, but he has to create discipline. As I said on another thread, you're thinking of Jalil and he didn't go with Brady. Instead he decommited to Cal. Thanks. Missed your reply. How is he doing at Cal?
