54 total yards midway thru the 3rd quarter...against IOWA STATE.  Let that sink in.    12 yards passing.  FML

The deepest pass i can recall us throwing this game was about 9 yards...the one that should have been intercepted but the sun.  Am i misremembering?  WTF.  Even if we lose, the ineptitude of our offense cannot be overemphasized.

Clearly the strategy was "keep it close, win at the horn ... someway. It's Iowa State. It will work out.

Hotel elevator talk this morning... Old dude was telling me Sean has been bitching about play calls in-game over the headsets. Sean's pushing Dimel out the door.

Hey just so Dimel's ass doesn't skate on this, but that 4th and 2 call was without a doubt the worst call of the year and that says a lot.

1. We have no fuckin QBs left what the eff are we doing running the one we have left in an empty backfield?
2. Did the [redacted] forget about Delton not getting a 4th & 2 on a similar play at KU?
3. Did I mention he ran our last scholarship QB on a run down with no lead blocker?

Let's be real, there's a fair amount of Dana hate is hysteria, but this was so unbelievably stupid, it done should have cost him his job.

It was awesome. The first 3 quarters were as miserable watching K-State football offense as I can remember.

Yeah it was a terrible game the first 3 quarters. I turned to the people I was with and made the comment that it was super boring.

I don't think Bill will fire Dana but I'd be stunned if he's back. Apparently he harbored a delusion that he had a shot at the job here after Bill left. That clearly isn't happening. I do think he may have a shot at a group of 5 or FCS job if he wants one. Maybe he can catch on with another one of these staffs that will have openings all over the P5. Other head coaches and ADs aren't as close to this as we are and being LHC Bill Snyder's long time OC will have some weight.

The first 3 quarters made Dimel trying to call an offense against Nebraska during Snyder 1 look like a work of art.

He is awful and is only bailed out by ballers.

Don’t forget that the Skylar has a hip pointer and clearly wasn’t as mobile as he was in previous games

Al of this talk about Sky’s ability...irrelevant if dimel is back.  WatchIng the creativity of other offenses makes me sad.

For those who watched on TV what did the pass coverage look like during the first 3 quarters when Thompson dropped back?

I couldn't tell from where I was sitting but it seemed like he was reluctant to pull the trigger.  Not sure if that was due to tight coverage or Skyler being overly cautious.

I was never a big fan of Del Miller, but how much do we miss him?  I didn't like our play calling the past few years but this year seems like it's significantly worse than anytime in recent memory.

My guess is that Bill's solution will be to add the "co-OC" title to CK.  I'm not sure how much that will help.

I can't defend Dimel this year, but his offenses have mostly been solid during his career. My understanding from talking to some former players was that Dimel has always called the majority of the offense during 2.0, Miller was mainly involved in obvious passing situation. The injuries haven't helped, but this year Dimel never seemed to find a rhythm or figure out what to do with this team. We've had two of the worst offensive games I can remember (Vandy and TCU) and yesterday was on that path for 3 quarters.

If he does stay, I think we'll build the offense to look much more like we used with Waters, especially considering Thompson's skills and the returning receivers. This year's team with Ertz was built much more like the Klein teams and I don't know that we could completely adjust mid season with the injury situation at QB.
