So, for next year, I don't know if there is an OC change in the cards but I would guess they would be working on some formations/plays/reads that would hope to yield higher completion percentages in the short passing game. Didn’t they change formations after last year ended? They changed to the “spread formation” for this year....how did that work out? Clearly not well. I got the sense that they used the spread formation after reviewing what Army did to us in the 2017 Bowl Game and was done to spread out the defenders with hopes to improve the running game. I don't think they were working on revamping the passing game with that formation change as well. I think our first down pass plays were not very effective this year and it put us in a 2nd and 10 hole all the time. I don't have the stats to back that up here but it is just a general impression that we were at 2nd & long or 3rd and long way too often seemingly after any combo of two plays (run/run, pass/run or run/pass). It seemed like the opponents that beat us could pick up that needed 5 yards (+/-) with a quick hitting well designed pass play and I hope that what we will add such to our repertoire.

So what you're saying is we are almost BSU circa Dan Hawkins era? You do realize that isn't mediocre by any stretch, don't you? Try hitting a bong. It might allow you to finally think your way out of your faulty line of "logic." "By the standards of our puny conference, we are big..." That is written in the PRESENT TENSE. I didn't include ANY reference to Dan Hawkins, who left Boise in 2005. That was 15 years ago. During the Chuck Long era. My statement does not in any way refer to that distant past, nor include a phrase that would allude to 'circa Dan Hawkins era', like, for instance, "Historically speaking, we've been big..." I don't know if you're willfully obtuse or stoned to the bejesus, but every one of the things you've written is, essentially, a non-sequitur, an inexplicable leap of specious logic, going hither and thither, like electrons jumping the shell. Your arguments don't track logically. Hence the exhortation to put down the bong, sir. So what you're saying is you don't understand because you just don't have the ability to. I'm merely applying your logic to other scenarios and it fails every time. Your logic is so asinine that even you get upset when I repeat it back to you. I get it. I feel terrible for picking on somebody with disabilities. My apologies. I'll reply to you in foe-net-icks next time.

2 MWC titles in 5 years with us in the mix for the title game up until the last conf game in 3 of those seasons Some of you have become very spoiled and entitled fans Also, 3 of those seasons saw double digit wins. Name the programs nationally with a better 5 year record than us My expectations for our sports town are higher than yours....we're the 8th most populous city in the 3rd most populous country in the world and our football program is never in the national conversation for a National Championship... I believe Rocky's an outstanding defensive coordinator and example for young men....If he cannot take this program to the next level than I'm in favor of finding someone who can.... Name the programs with a better 5 year mark than SDSU in the last 5 seasons.

Rocky may have the most wins, but that doesn't make him the winningest head coach in the D1 era. It just means he's been very successful over more years than Coryell or Gilbert as our D1 head coach. He's still 3rd in winning percentage. Coryell, during his tenure while we were D1 was 36-8 for a winning percentage of 81.818%. And that includes the 6-5 season caused by the student council eliminating early registration* for athletes resulting in a disastrous recruiting year. Gilbert was 62-27 for a winning percentage of 69.662%. Rocky is currently 80-38 for a winning percentage of 67.796%. Rocky also coaches 12 regular season games per year versus the 11 for Gilbert and Claude never had a bowl game to go to. According to Wikipedia, we finished ranked 19th in the coaches' poll two of the eight seasons in which Gilbert was head coach. Both he and Rocky are very good coaches and probably underappreciated. In Claude's case, I've heard that among the reasons was SDSU had no idea what it was getting itself into in going independent for a few years and then joining what was then a very good Western Athletic Conference the 1976 winner of which, ASU, had won a co-national championship only a few years before.

I'm just spoiled with unrealistic expectations for the football program! There's your problem. Gaining some more knowledge about NCAA sports will help you with bringing your expectations back down to earth. Also, city size and location (Attraction) has very little to do with how the program does. If that was case, nearly all of the Big10 and SEC would be some of the worst programs the NCAA has ever seen. However, being the only game in town can certainly influence how a program does.....sorry Padre fans.....I guess I need to be content with a last place baseball team and a better than average mid level football program.....

I will when you list the # of conference championships and bowl victories the past 5 years....We don't even play in the conference championship game - and you're content? ?

Ummm...2 MWC Championships? 2 Bowl wins (3 in the last 6 years)? The all time NCAA rushing leader? A 2000+ yd, 1st round pick running back? 3 MWC Offensive POTY? 2 MWC Defensive POTY? At least 2 Special teams POTY? One MWC Coach of the Year? I remember all of these happening in the last five years, but maybe it’s a case of the Mandela Effect? Go Aztecs!

This is the kind of rude, obnoxious, condescending, insulting post that will get you banned as a board member with repeated offenses. If you can't be at least halfway civil you have no place here. Knock it off. And that goes for anyone who would post garbage like that.

We played in 2 of the last 5 MWC Title games, and were in the hunt for a 3rd until losing the final conference game. How do you not know this?! So yes. It would be great to win the MWC every season. The fact we did it 40% of the last 5 years is actually good. Btw, how ya doing on listing all the programs with better W/L than us the last 5 years?
