Not a big daily press fan, but Teel hits the nail on the head. Doesn't say anything that hasn't been said before, but as others mentioned when McFarland called for changed, this is the first season that the media has asked for a coach to be fired.
No doubt Frank (and the offensive coaches) are feeling the heat more than ever before. I'm confident (or maybe just very hopeful?) we'll see changes this off season.

These guys are just jumping on at this point
Everyone knows there will be changes. They just want to look like they were in the "know" and correct knew it happens. See if any of them stick their necks out and predict who will be the replacements.
Agreed that they're just toe-ing the line
of public opinion. I think Teel and McFarling are great beat reporters but if they had been a little more forthcoming with criticism 3-4 years ago we probably wouldn't be looking at a 6-7 record in 2012.
I know, I know, hindsight is 20-20...
I'm not so sure it is as much of a "done-deal" as most fans seem to believe. Don't underestimate the power of the "outlier year" excuse being used, especially if we win this bowl game. I don't know any inside information, but it might take one more shit-tastic year for anything to happen. Just putting the Devil's Advocate out there. We'll see....
I think there is a high probability
that the only change is Newsome leaving, Stiney moving to OL coach or hiring Chris Malone to coach the OL.
I also wonder if LT coming back for another year may influence the QB coach. I'm not sure if he likes or doesn't like MOC.
LT is a huge MOC fan, has said he views MOC like a grandfather.
I just hope we don't have to wait too long after this bowl to know what changes (if any) are going to be made.
A joke if multiple people aren't let go.
It will be a joke if only one member of the offensive coaching staff is fired. Stiney should no longer be the oc, he has done nothing with exceptional talent the last decade. Since he has 15. Years of seniority I don't thank frank will let him be fired, just reassigned or let stiney himself step down. Newsome has completely regressed our offensive line since day one 15 years ago we at least had mean olinemen that wanted to kill the other team. Ocain has shown me he does not know how to coach qb I feel watching Logan he never looks for the check down or a true progression, I have heard people blame the guru Logan worked with during the summer but dear lord if you can't fix the issue within the first 4 games then you have to be a bad coach. That is my two cents.
Duke playing great ball tonight. A shame Cutcliffe isn't an option to run our offense.
Couldn't agree more! Imagine what he could do with the athletes we have and imagine what bud could do when te offense is productive!
duke regressed badly in that game.
Cutliffe is still a bro
Points.
They still scored more points against them than we did his year.
