It is beginning to look like Long is not making any changes in the football program. At least not any of any significance. Spring practice usually starts in Feb and it is getting late to make coaching changes etc. So it looks as though he will do as I was afraid of, just double down and do the same thing next year as he did this year. If so, I will predict a 6-6 record at best. All the teams now know how to defend against his run run offense and we don't have a Penny or Pumphrey to counter that. Also teams have learned how to attack his defense, look at what Ohio did to it. He needs to make some changes in it.

Looks like the only thing Rocky is changing is his underwear, we hope.

No coaches fired. Does not mean there are no changes.

Still too early to tell 100%. Rocky usually keeps things close to the vest.
Our defense would have been tons better if the offense couldv'e done anything at all in many of those games. Offense was omg.......

No coaches fired. Does not mean there are no changes. playbook will basically be the same. In case you forgot: 1. Washington up the middle 2. short pass for small gain 3, long pass attempt, incomplete 4. punt 5. repeat 1-4

I thought there was speculation that a change or changes could happen after the Winter Coaches Meeting. I think that is either happening now or just happened . So who knows ?

I dont expect any changes unless someone gets hired away. When Rocky used to be the HC at NM he used to say SDSU was soft. All you needed to do was “Hit them in the mouth and we would go running to the beach.” Instead all I hear these days is all the excuses on why he didnt get the job done. Instead Rocky has become the person who he used to describe from the outside. You know that beach front property softens you up a little.

No coaches fired. Does not mean there are no changes. It would appear that there will be no changes of any significance. Coaches are not often known to have radical changes in philosophy. We'll see how that works out next season, but I don't expect a big improvement with the same staff.

Back before the early signing period coaching changes didn’t happen until after the February signing date. So while it appears no changes will be made there’s still a small chance.

Finally, a voice of reason on this thread. It also doesn't mean there will be any major changes either. Correct. However, as someone else pointed out, Rocky has a long history of playing things close to his vest. Just like this time. Also, what do you consider major aside coaching changes? Would changing the way they practice by beating the hell out of each other becoming a thing of the past be considered major? What about the type of guy they recruit since there's been a ton of attrition? Not one is an actual on-field change, but I'd consider both major changes.

The NCAA coaches meeting isn't held until January 23-26. It is therefore premature to conclude there will be no changes to Rocky's staff.
That comment should not be taken to imply that I think the man will actually make any changes, simply that if he does so, an announcement should not be expected until the January 27 to commencement of spring practice period.

Rocky has always been about the run game. His takeover following Francione at UNM was a success after a while, but ultimately resulted in his downfall because his offenses there were the same as it is here. No need for a game changing QB. That's his pattern. If we fall under .500 next season, I think he'll retire. Without changes he would be unable to right the ship anyway. JMO

Although most of the recruiting is done already any changes in coaches might come after that to solidify a few recruits.
