I know, I know... BC is doing an excellent job... yada yada yada.  



BC and staff just are not very good at making in-game adjustments.

BC and staff get an in-game ADAPTABILITY score of 1 (on a scale of 1 to 10).


2nd half collapses are the surest indicator that coaches can not adjust and
flow with the decreasing player stamina, the opposing team's coaching
adjustments, etc.  

24NOV can not come soon enough.  

...and BC still reminds me of Waterboy HC, Coach Klein, played by Henry
Winkler.   LOL.

The coaches had a good gameplan and executed it for most of the game, 
but the collapse at the end of the game is unacceptable.  When your 
teams have never won a game when trailing at halftime, you'd better be 
able to maintain a 2-touchdown lead in the 2nd half.

As far as what this game means for Callahan's future - I remain 
unconvinced that the coaching staff can turn it around.  It's never fair 
to judge a coach based on one game, but that goes both ways.  One 
horrible loss should never be cause for a coach's dismissal, but one 
gutsy performance is hardly a surefire sign that the staff has turned 
the corner, especially when it's still a loss on the scoreboard.  Once 
in a great while, Callahan and his staff have come up with a great 
gameplan, but it's far too rare to keep this blind squirrel around.
