It’s going to get better. Nobody likes Losing. Coach Lewis and Staff will work their butts off to get it right. They are young and hungry. The same could not be said for Hoke 2.0. Watch O’Neil grow. He could end up as one of the best QB’s we have had since Lindley. Most lack your unbridled confidence and enthusiasm. I hope you're right because one more year of this is going to make it that much harder for even a competent Coach to turn around. Doesn’t mean they’re correct. |

Everyone needs to calm down. Hoke left a mess. Half the roster is new Starting a true freshman QB Installing new systems on both sides of the ball There’s no quick fix in football. It’s going to take time whether you like it or not. Especially with the situation Lewis walked into. Everyone take a deep breath and watch the basketball team. As evidenced by the stands, we haven't stopped watching the basketball team. Lewis does need to give us something to have hope in. I haven't seen anything yet. The offense is just a different style of inefficient as the last decade, we have just added a lack of discipline to the table. At this point, I just want any improvement. |

Lewis is not going to be fired, but has a choice. Either modify the offense to suit the strengths of the team or play JT at QB. O’Neil is one dimensional, which is fine, just don’t have a one dimensional player run an offense that requires a dual threat QB. Either play JT or modify your scheme. JMO and most likely wrong. He’s a true freshman 9 games into his career and his best receiver is a freshman. The other receivers are a hodgepodge. The O line is patchwork and full of injuries. Coach Lewis has said it will take at least a year and a half to fully learn the system. I know this is an instant gratification world but you have to build a solid foundation for long term success and that will have growing pains. |

This thread is ridiculous. It’s only been 9 games. We’re all frustrated, but the offensive line is atrocious and we have a true freshman at quarterback. I get that patience is rare in today’s instant-gratification culture, but come on!

It’s a completely different situation. |

The Lewis quirky FAST style thinks he's going to out-scheme the opponent or catch them off guard. All we've seen is hurry up sloppiness, penalties and a gassed defense |

Coach Lewis has said it will take at least a year and a half to fully learn the system. I know this is an instant gratification world but you have to build a solid foundation for long term success and that will have growing pains. No system should take a year and a half to learn. That’s crazy and in a world of NIL and the transfer window, not acceptable. These kids have been playing ball since they were 10 or 11, they have learned multiple offenses and after the second or third offense have a base understanding of what offenses are attempting to accomplish and learn very quickly. I will say the most concerning thing I see is not scheme, it’s fundamentals. The Oline catches defenders which is amazing considering the number of false starts we get to witness and on defense the ankle tackling. People rip off big runs on the D because jump at ankles and don’t routinely rally to the football. I am not bagging in O’Neil or advocating he be benched. All I am saying is either adjust the offense to his strengths or play JT who is more apt to execute the system that Lewis wants. |

Stating there has not been much production from the QB position since Lindley played the position here at SDSU. This has been an ongoing issue with this program, I will say O'Neil has improved during his freshman year. |

This post is so dumb. Fire a coach after 1 year? That is such a childlike over reaction. Relax. What respectable coach would want to come here if this school fired somebody on their 1st year. A respectable coach. |

With three games left in the season, this is who they are - at least this season. While starting a first year as a QB is a risky move, there are far more fundamental problems with the program, the stadium, and the field. Fans - as well as promising players who sat on the bench while watching one or two players monopolize all the PT this season - will vote with their feet and their dollars next season. It's not going to be pretty.
But if the Carson Experience taught me anything, it's that I can have almost as good a time watching the home games at home as I can being there in person. And with the money we save, that'll just be an added bonus.
Sorry JDW. You failed. (Again)

Two more years of this ? Awesome. It’s going to get better. Nobody likes Losing. Coach Lewis and Staff will work their butts off to get it right. They are young and hungry. The same could not be said for Hoke 2.0. Watch O’Neil grow. He could end up as one of the best QB’s we have had since Lindley. Oneil is too small. He completes the short ones, but comes out off his shoes on long passes. And they are usually not accurate. Guy reminds me of chapman. |

Both of those previous coaches did the roster rebuilding. 2 years of Hoke decimated our roster and then half of the team left. Lewis is going to get at least 3 seasons to turn it around so you guys better relax or you are going to have a stroke. We probably should have fired Coach Fisher half way through his first season at SDSU. I had no idea Coach Lewis won a national championship and coached his team to two more titles games before becoming SDSU's coach. Ridiculous comparison. |

i have no confidence in JDW - JD’s made a lot of errors at SDSU. We need a better AD before we even think about hiring a new coach.

O’Neil is one dimensional, which is fine, just don’t have a one dimensional player run an offense that requires a dual threat QB. Either play JT or modify your scheme. JMO and most likely wrong. Exactly , he is using a run-pass offense with a QB who can't run. Either change the offense or the QB. I really think he should grab Ludwid as OC he is very experienced and good! But he probably will not. Lewis is like most fast talkers. They talk very fast to cover up the fact they don't know what they are talking about. |

But can Lewis admit he needs help? Why doesn’t the press ask any of these questions? |
