Did our coaches take off a year in recruiting? If last year was a pinnacle of talent, why did it mirror the prior 3 almost to a fault? I certainly see some failures on the field.
Perhaps preparing the year with indecision between two very different QBs warrants some coaching scrutiny. We aren't running a different "system" when one QB is in versus the other. We just aren't well coached around much of an offense, outside of expecting a couple of athletes to rise above "the system".
Basinbear's suggestions of how we should be using the skilled athletes we have is about as close to an intelligent use of talent this year that I've heard. But it would have to include some play calling that doesn't suck. One thing you got correct is that Haack stares down his primary receiver. That tells me we have a weak QB coach more than anything. Oh well... we're going to revert to Hud's comfort zone. We all know that.
