Well, on at least two occasions this season he has. Twice that I've seen he's blamed his own coaching for losses.

That's different, and slightly refreshing, but really this program has plateaued. Years of QB platoons with no great options in the mix, secondaries with a knack for getting burned at inopportune times, inconsistent line efforts on both sides of the ball, stupid penalties, endless injuries and boring/ineffective playcalling.

Add in the poor-to-mediocre gameday experience at Peden, with horribly inappropriate music time after time, security more worthy of a presidential debate or head-of-state visit, cannons scaring babies and other shortcomings.

Don't forget the bottom-of-the-barrel strength of scheduling and scarcity of interesting opponents at Peden, which was not much of a problem under Knorr.

A broadcast team that follows yet another dumb penalty on Blair Brown with the statement, "Not that he has a problem with penalties." (Disclaimer: Rob Cornelius is awesome.)

Then contrast all this with the often amateurish over-hyping of the program in and around Athens.

Some of that may be true, but not the part about misbehavior. If that's a baseline requirement, it isn't being met.

With all the apologists and rose-colored glasses wearers braying about the "Golden Age" of Ohio football, the disconnects become annoying and drive fans away.

Expecting criticism, but, hey, I was at the EMU game and I see what I see.

Thanks for getting all that off your chest. It's liberating, isn't it?

I feel much of your pain, but hey I like the cannons a lot.

Those glasses are green-colored glasses. Green, not any form of red. ;-)
