That is not a fan of Coach calling the offense? I mean seriously could have ran the ball 75% of the time last night but I swear he has a little Todd Devil sitting on his shoulder saying “Take a shot.”

He, much like his counterpart at A&M, need to let go and just be the HC.

Thoughts?

Yep.

Rpo right, deep bomb into double coverage, rpo left, punt. What’s not to like?

Todd Whitten isn't the right football coach for the future.

For me, Whitten’s offense only works when we have better athletes than the defense. It worked great in D2 as he was able to recruit superior athletes. I don’t think we be recruiting superior athletes, I think we will have equal athletes.

I still like Whitten as the head coach but we need to modify the offense and have an offensive coordinator calling the plays. If we can’t/won’t make these changes, then I agree Whitten isn't the long term head coach.

Spot on observation. Stephenville is home for him... I hope he realizes that the offense needs an updated direction. Motion, misdirection, formations are all non existant or lacking to cause the defense to react instead of dictate. I believe he is a good HC but it is long overdue to turn over the offense to someone else. He can still have input, that's what the HC is for, but it's time.

ACU was 18-27 during the four year transition from D2 to D1 in the Southland. We are 16-12 thus far. The sky is not falling. Coach Whitten will figure it out. He is still the winningest coach in Tarleton history. That means something. Most of the anti-Whitten talk comes from those who worship Art Briles.

What in the world does Art Briles have to do with Tarleton football Mrs. Whitten? 16-12. Know how many D2 and transitioning D2 wins are in there? I will tell you if you don’t. His only success has come at the D2 level. Go ask the old Sam Houston guys about his stint there.
Right now, he has a quarterback with the yips, who is completely and utterly lost and has been for 4 games. Whitten won’t make a change. If there is not a backup that can’t even equal the crap we’re seeing on the field, then that is on Whitten too. Transition sucks, but what we are seeing is indefensible.

You obviously have no idea how hard it is to Coach a team during a transition. Do you know how many D2 wins every transition team has? Everyone plays these games while the rules allow for it. Briles has something to do with it because everyone is always throwing his name out there. How many head coaches could have more success during a transition? Tell us and lobby the President to hire him. Let’s see what they can do? I am good friends with a coach who led a team during a transition. Hell of a Coach. Luckily they didn’t fire him. He said coaching a transition team is the hardest thing he has ever done.

So let me get this straight. If you speak out against Whitten's play calling and asking that he stays on as HC but turns over play calling to an OC, you're a Briles fanatic and have no clue on how difficulty D1 transition is? Got it. Thanks for the clarification on my own thought processes.

How'd the game go this weekend? Must be that transition process being so difficult against the mighty Wildcats.

My apologies. It is certainly fair to question play calling and ask for that to be turned over to someone else. Didn’t mean to offend you. ACU has been out of the transition for 6-7 years now, so they certainly have a head start. But we still need to win that game.

People can throw Briles name around like a hot potato all they want. No school and I repeat NO SCHOOL will ever hire Briles again especially a school in the A&M system. The fact that Briles himself as well as assistants ran cover for athletes that were raping women is inexcusable. Even brought in a player to Baylor who had been kicked off Boise State IIRC for sexual assault. Winning at any cost. I want no part of Briles for TSU. He can sell shoes for Payless as for as I'm concerned.

Yep. I’d rather go 0-11 than have Briles as our coach.

I don't think anyone wants Briles. No one said they did. One made an assumption that anyone that speaks against Whitten must be a Briles follower, which could not be more further from the truth. I am surprised that his name was even brought up.

Been busy recently. How in the world did we lose 3 games in a row? Especially the last against a very bad Utah Tech team?

They scored more points than we did.

QB play has been down.
