Yep
No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Clueless needs to start utilizing the play clock.

After four games, with a completely new starting roster, some people are willing to give up on the new system?
Come on.
Let's not be crazy here.
If the offense doesn't look better by the end of the season then you might have some room for statements like that, but not now.
And the offense did look better Saturday in the first half.

What helped the offense, was it Pepto Bismols 5 symptoms relief?

Yeah, the TEs were a match up nightmare in the first half. So naturally, Lewis ignored this in an effort to see his son run into a brick wall the entire second half |

If the offense doesn't look better by the end of the season then you might have some room for statements like that, but not now. And the offense did look better Saturday in the first half. 4:36 left vs Oregon St at our own 25 down three scores: inside zone to Armstead for 2 yards, 0:35 elapsed after the play, 2nd down inside zone to Armstead for 7 yards penalty of 5 yards, 0:23 elapsed, 3rd down inside zone to Armstead for no gain, 0:35 elapsed, 4th down punt for 63 yards. Lewis is a quitter. He quit on the team straight up. How can you defend that? Ironically, that stupid moniker of "Aztec Fast" became "Aztec as Slow as Possible to Run out Clock" when it mattered most. Lewis is a clown show and the faster we get rid of him (Aztec Fast) the faster we start winning. |

If he does it again that would be a bad sign, but at this point? I'll cut him some slack and recognize that every coach makes mistakes, and that was one of his biggest. |

If a coach REALLY cares he's not running a four minute offense to burn clock down three scores. If he really cares he's throwing the ball and fighting for every yard to try to win. HE QUIT PLAIN AND SIMPLE Do you think Coryell would have EVER pulled that $#!+? HELL NO. He'd be fighting for every extra yard to try to WIN the damn game. Lewis tried to burn clock so he didn't lose by four scores. How do you defend the guy? He's here cashing checks knowing he's set no matter if he gets fired. The best thing we can do is cut bait NOW and look for someone who wants to win and knows how to do it. Hell we could offer far more than UNLV can for their coach. Let's just poach him. |

Perhaps if Clueless rotated his backs, utilized the play clock to his advantage, and didn't change a successful game plan in the second half, the natives wouldn't be stocking up on torches and pitch forks. It doesn't matter how much talent he brings in, how well he out schemes the other Team, poor Coaching choices negate any perceived advantages. Good Coaches improve Teams immediately. Even if there is a dearth of talent. It shows in reduced penalties, fewer mental errors, and knowing how to close out games. We played one good half of football. Then the Coach failed to capitalize on his advantages and quickly gave the ball back to CMU. I don't see signs of him or his team improving. If the Aztecs lose to Hawa'ii, Lewis had better head to the airport with the Bows. |

When we say this offense needs to GO... It's referring to the AztecFast brand of offense Coach Lewis runs. It needs to GO. As in get moving. |

This was the same way Coach Hoke conducted the offense when they fell behind late in games. We gave him a hard time about it on the pod not continuing to compete and its the same with Coach Lewis. Hopefully that changes. Playing conservative so the score looks more acceptable vs continuing to go after it, is no good. |

Hell we could offer far more than UNLV can for their coach. Let's just poach him. This week's opponent did the opposite when down and nothing was working last year vs the Aztecs Chang just had his QB throw a bunch of 9 routes hoping for completions or PIs. They completed a couple and got some calls too. Chang isn't that good of a coach but at least that decision shows the opposite philosophy |

Well, as much as I dislike Coach Prime and his style, we are starting to possibly see why our HC was demoted. He got some credit for the beginning of the season offense, but maybe the results were misleading. I am starting to worry about this HC and his approach.
My biggest issue is how we lose and not the fact we are losing. I was ready for it and expected to lose some games, but I EXPECTED to be competitive. I am guilty of buying into the "AztecFast" and getting excited for high scoring games and seeing the offense execute.
I feel like we have seen the complete opposite and have been out coached every game. Heck, the only reason we beat TXAM Commerce is because we had superior athlets. When starters were fresh and head to head, they more than held their own. We got lucky we just were deeper with better athletes.
The fact is, this team does not seem to be getting much better or showing improvement. I am now at the point of just hoping we see fewer penalties and more RB's getting a touch.
I am not giving up on Lewis yet, but damn he is making this really hard for me. I am not convinced he is the right guy for this. We need to elevate this program, take the next steps, put ourselves in a position for next round of realignment, etc. I feel like we are going in the wrong direction at the absolute worst time. Damn, it makes me nauseous because I really want to support this staff.
