Serious Discussion: How do we fix a bad offense? Fans wanna know

[Mr. Stupor]

Ok fine. I thought you were gong to come back with that old grandmotherly canard about "its not what you say, it's how you say it". That would have been a new Pollyanna low because even grandmas who are actually named Pollyanna don't say that anymore...

regarding McCall, his offense in 2012 was ranked 60. The defense was ranked 58.
But even if we hang our hat on the 60th best offense, the trend suggest that something ought to be done. Consider the following:

2012: 60th ranked Offense
2013: 82nd ranked offense
2014: 111 ranked offense
2015: 117 ranked offense.

In my opinion, out of 120 teams, it does harm to justice if we don't recognize how bad this offense really is. And the problem magnifies when our defense is neutralized as we get thorough blowouts. If McCall can keep his job, and Fitz can impute the 10 wins on the offense by giving community credit, then why should any coach get fired? I mean if we total the last 24 months, we are actually the worst offense and finish #122 out of 122 teams. If we won't fire a coach over having the absolute WORST offense, as scientifically measured during a 2 year span, then that should tell us about why we are Northwestern. Right?

How can Fitz even think about keeping McCall? Our offense is dead last over the past 2 years and we even had an NFL QB within that span. Think about that.

Good point. NFL QB's. or second year guys, it didn't matter.

Pollyanna low is an oxymoron.
