I don't believe he does that, that has been my point consistently, and I think using terms like "Daddy Ball" is pretty childish. AJ Duffy was his guy to, and yet he was behind JTJ on the depth chart. We were 4-8 last year and some 54 players chose not to return so that really limits your argument. I believe three returnees were slated to play along the o-line and at least two of them were injured to start the season. I guess there are some on here who played team sports and felt their playing time was limited due to favoritism and that colors their views today. I just think a coach is going to put those on the field, court, track, mat, pool or course that gives them the best chance to win. It is funny to note that one of the reasons the Padres fired Bruce Bochy was that he had "favorites" in the clubhouse who he played more. Looking back, perhaps we shoulda kept the guy but that's just me. How do you explain Jordan Napier finally getting his first start and only due to injury? Also, if Lewis isn't playing Daddy Ball, then why does Cooper have a higher percentage of carries than the best RB in the nation? The Boise fullback has more carries than all other RBs on the Aztecs. Also, love how you always attempt to appear above the fray while simultaneously adding to it like your passive-aggressive attempts to fictionalize my life. The least you could do is make me ruggedly handsome in your fiction. 1. Napier is a freshman. Freshman generally don't start. 2. Your Cooper question, really? Tell me you have poor analytical skills without saying you have poor analytical skills. Boise St. Is 8-1 with their only loss @oregon by 3 points. In their 8 wins they are averaging 40 points while giving up 21 - an average 19 point margin of victory. They have had two close games for wins against UNLV and Nevada. In their loss to Oregon Jeanty carried the ball 25 times. Against UNLV he carried 33 times and against Nevada he carried 34 times. He averaged 30.67 carries for those three games. SDSU is 3-6 with most games being competitive. Cooper has 220 carries over the season for a 24.4 average carries per game. When the game is on the line Boise, like other programs, play their best players more. 3. I don't do fiction. |

He's starting a true freshman at QB. So that excuse holds as much water as you did in your playing days. |

He's starting a true freshman at QB. So that excuse holds as much water as you did in your playing days. If we had better depth at RB, then perhaps Lewis wouldn't have to use Cooper as much. I'm a firm believer in Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is generally the correct one. You want to say he gets the vast majority of carries because of "Daddy ball" which assumes a helluva lot and is supported by a personal bias. Yes, Lewis isn't just starting a freshman at QB, his backup is a RS freshman. If you go back to prior to the season you'd see I said I expected Duffy to start given he was the only one with, albeit little, on-field experience at the D1 level. I said that we would struggle regardless because we didn't have an experienced QB on the roster. Duffy didn't have accuracy and O'Neil has played pretty well despite his youth and inexperience. Just three INTs all year, one which was not his fault. He seems to make good decisions for the most part, which most young QBs don't. He will be quite a bit better next year because of having a year under his belt. However, you rarely see a freshman start at that position in D1, you can look that up if you want. We did so because we had no one better. So you are, in your own confused way, helping to make my point though it's unlikely you realize it. There are no water-boys in cross country and track. |

What will the song and dance routine be next year when this garbage keeps being replayed ? Definitely not a rushed playing of musical chairs. Our AD hired a guy to reinvigorate a program. It would be silly to fire him year one, even if I am not enthused by what I have seen thus far. Creating a revolving door is not the solution. Next time, the AD absolutely needs to reach out to Aztec Clubbers to try and get financial commitments to have more $$$ for hiring coaches. Open the options a bit more. |

Lewis will be here a minimum of 3 years so posting threads calling for him to be fired immediately is a pointless exercise. |

If I were making the call I'd give Lewis one more year to show progress.
It would look bad to prospective new coaches down the line if you fired a coach after the first year. It's pretty rare that a coach is as incompetent as, say, a Chuck Long, to warrant firing after the first season (and Chuck definitely warranted firing after his first season). Lewis isn't that incompetent. He's getting some things right.

Some of the playcalling has been far more creative than we've seen over the last several years. He's got a really positive vibe and a lot of energy, unlike Brady, "The Walking Dead," Hoke. |

Yes, the "vibe" is what got me on board as well, BUT is there anything else he's done "right" with this team? After his last game, the team looked no better, maybe worse, than it did at the beginning of the season. |

JD signed a really bad contract. |

JD signed a really bad contract. You missed the point. Firing a coach after the first year without gross incompetence (which he hasn't shown) just sends a bad signal to prospective coaches down the line. The best candidates won't be interested if they know that a bad year could cost them their job. They'll want to know that they'll get a fair shot to rebuild - and it is extremely difficult to rebuild in a single year. |
