I could be wrong, but I think Eddie gave these grades out before the seasonFor the most part the grades of the coaches are fine. I find 5 instances where the grades are slightly to way off.
A. Nevada - Wilson - F / How do you get an F when you won two games with zero talent. I'm not saying he's done a great job but he won his 2nd game as an underdog by 24 outright.
I'd give him a B-.
B. LSU - Kelly - B / I'd give him a C-. He had the better talent and lost which was essentially a home game in New Orleans.
C. Notre Dame - Freeman - A - While his defense was pretty good it was helped by Ohio State losing their stud WR in the 1st quarter and CJ Stroud just being off for the 1st 3 quarters. The Notre Dame offense was terrible as the scored only 10 points against a Ohio State defense that couldn't stop a cold late last season. Also, no 2nd half adjustments were made. I'd give him a B to B-.
D. Hawaii - Chang - B-. You have to be kidding? Chang is a former QB and OC. His offense scored all of 10 points vs lowly Vanderbilt and 17 versus bottom feeder Western Kentucky while turning the ball over a combined 8 times. His defense is even worse. On back to back series in the Vandy game they left a WR uncovered on the goal line and then had 3 defensive players go across the formation to cover the man in motion. Almost every transfer that came to Hawaii is a scrub. Half of the Juco teams in the country beat Hawaii right now. Objectively he has to be given an F. OK I'm in a good mood, D-.
E. Colorado State - Norvell - A / For a HC with an offensive background what was that gameplan at Michigan? They mustered up all of 219 total yards and scored their only TD with less than 2 minutes to go in the game. His QB got sacked 7 times and was running for his life all game. The kid had 12 rushes because almost every pass play was a slow developing drop back pass versus a fierce rush. They threw maybe 1 slant all game. Give him a C only because his team was overmatched.
