I've been willing to sit through the pain of the learning curve as he figured out the NFL game, but at some point you need to see better discipline. The number of mistakes we are seeing halfway through the season is unacceptable. Yes you can blame the players because ultimately they are making the mistake, but it's the coaches job to stop them from doing so. We beat ourselves far too often. Too many stupid penalties (not effort penalties but just mindless dumb lack of discipline penalties), too many turnovers, etc... And we are regressing. Before the bye it felt like every game was slightly better than the rest and that we were ascending. But we just aren't playing consistent enough. I don't like the idea of getting rid of coaches after one year but this needs to look like a team getting better.

This is mostly how I feel too.

What's incredibly frustrating is that once the defense seemed to have figured their game out then the offense stalled. I can accept that we win very few games this season if I see that Lawrence is the real deal and that's mostly how it looked in the early part of the season. Mistakes happened but that's normal. Now nothing seems to work anymore.

Regarding playcalling it seems they are refusing to use some of the concepts Lawrence knows from Clemson. I understand that won't help in the long run and that he needs to learn the NFL game(play book) but if it doesn't work then why not use a few of these? If they actually are sacrificing this season for this reason I want to see Lawrence under center a lot more. Do you play a pro-style O or not?

I think their mindset is the prostyle offense of QB under center is a thing of the past or at least of minimal usage at this point. With Trevor playing so much shotgun it seems as thought they are Trying to play to his comfort level since that is almost exclusively what he played at Clemson. I just don't see very many good route concepts for the receivers from this coaching staff.
