WPXI is reporting the victims were "college aged" but stressed it was not an IUP-sanctioned event. The shooting occured around 12:35 a.m.

Offensive coordinator is often the easiest coach for the fan base to hate on, especially when teams aren’t doing well. Locally you have the masses wanting to ship Frank Cignetti, Jr. out of Pitt and Matt Canada out of Pittsburgh. My biggest problem with Larry is the pace and what seems to be a lack of organization. They can’t get any offensive flow going because of the “check with me” approach. It cost them another delay of game yesterday (Hunter hit Ridley for the TD on the next play so you may have forgotten) as well as a timeout. They get to the line quickly in their typical spread but then wait for the guys upstairs to look at the defense and make the play call. That can be effective, but they take way too long and over think it and the offense never gets into a rhythm. That also impacts the offensive line because they have little time to identify their assignment and execute it. What’s funny is the defense makes adjustments as well so it’s not like once they line up they have to stay where they were. In my opinion this style is largely offensive coordinators outsmarting themselves. Changing the play on occasion makes sense. Standing at the line of scrimmage and watching the play clock run out while deciding on the perfect play doesn’t. It puts unnecessary pressure on everyone.
If your QB is struggling to read coverages and your offensive line is missing assignments, probably the last thing you want to do is force them to think faster by calling a play deep into the play clock.

If IUP was playing competitive, hard-fought games it would be one thing, but I think that "deer in the headlights" effect has turned into a multi-week phenomenon. Starting with what is supposed to be the best defensive secondary in the region getting shredded on the first series of the game and then it went downhill from there.

It starts with the HC because he is in charge of everything but the coordinators are key when it comes to preparing for each specific team. Wasn't everybody elated when we got a new OC? How did that work out?Last edited by IUPbigINDIANS; 10-08-2023, 05:06 AM.

This is it under his watch. Couple good years but underachievers. That's the high-water mark.
This staff stinks. Accept it now or in a couple years.
Tort is a buddy. Not a coach. It worked in '17.

Strangely, I recall a lot of people who know football who thought that. Not sure why but they did.

Hmmm, it wasn’t that long ago people were talking about how much better Tort was than Curt Cignetti. That 2014 season was a tough one too. But anyway, this season is a clusterf&$k, and the whole staff practically has been here forever. The last major hire was another old guy that’s been an assistant in the PSAC forever. Maybe there’s just not that fire in the belly anymore.

That staff is a dumpster fire. Starting at the top.
Many have been saying it for years.
