The level of stupid on this board

Is really amazing. People think we won’t win another game this season….same people who’ve never accomplished anything in their lives, they’re the epitome of losers.

We finish the season 7-5 or 8-4. The team showed up today, despite everyone’s opinions. This isn’t Scott Frost. ****ing give them a chance to succeed.

UCLA playing our schedule

If UCLA played our schedule...
UTEP: win
Colorado: win (maybe a bit closer though)
N Iowa: win
Illinois: win
Purdue: win
Rutgers: win
Indiana: loss
Ohio St: loss

So records can be deceiving. NU was never a better team despite our record. NU is also 2-5 playing their schedule coming into the game.

My larger point is this loss really shouldn't be a surprise. Our offense is anemic. We need Satt to be replaced. Raiola has arm talent but is showing us there are deficiencies in his current game that he needs to work on and opposing staffs are exposing it. Haarberg should get more playing time, as should Kaelin.
Yes, this might have been the most winnable game left on paper. But they also run a scheme and had a game plan that worked perfectly against us with players that can accomplish it.
It's entirely possible that we match up better against the remaining teams than we did with UCLA. But again, we need to fix the offense to have a chance to win those games.

The devil is in the details....

The players deserve their fair share of criticism around coming out flat/not caring for 37 minutes yesterday. Plenty of posts talking about it.

Here's my question/criticism of the coaching...

If the staff had the team prepared they would make plays, appear fast and appear to care more.

Rhule said we just couldn't handle the zero blitz package. Now, I can see that being an issue for a series or two but not being able to adjust means the coaches didn't consider that teams might do that with our young QB. It means Satt didn't pull Raiola aside and make actionable changes during the game. It means we didn't adjust our play calling. For all we know, they did consider it but in the end, it was a massive failure and their adjustments fell flat.

Just like last week with the screens, the coaches don't appear to have an ability to adjust in game or understand the short comings of the players. Good coaches do and they call plays that their players can execute and they don't call players their players can't. Why didn't they consider our WR's can't block the screens. Good coaching would...

During the zero blitz's it wasn't like it was disguised very well. My dumbass could see when it was coming. If the coaches prepped Railoa on some basic audibles that he could execute, it might have made a difference. And yes, I am not a coach and we all tend to under estimate what coaches do and how hard it is but in the end......

Other coaches do it....Satt needs to go.

IT'S ALREADY OVER.....Coaches can't win chess playing checkers

BOTH our O and D coordinators are not very good.
They are outcoached most plays in every game. No adjustments especially on offense but I'm not giving White a pass on this steamy pile of a team.
Indiana is good. OSU was not interested until it counted. N Iowa,Illinois and UCLA just punked White at will all game. His resume was built on the anemic offenses we played last year.
Satterfield just doesn't have a clue what to do. The fact that we have to burn our last time-out so he can figure out what play to call is the cherry on his pile of crap.
IT'S OVER for this team until the upperclassmen and OC,DC,WR, and specials coaches are purged and replaced with winners and competent coaches. Just hoping the stink on this program does not rub off to the younger players.
Rhule is being paid a lot of money to fix this mess. Time for him to make some good decisions.

Lying eyes

We all see how this is playing out
Many of us knew it when Rhule hired Satterfield.
A terrible OC , play calling is chaotic, predictable and I think he broke #15 .
The offensive numbers are in the lower end in categories.
Production is terrible.
Yet , many pundits, writers and radio personalities want us to not believe what we see.
If it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck
It definitely isn’t a cheetah

Saving face: Fire Satt on Monday

You’re not going to magically save the offense these last few games. But to show the fanbase you actually want to make changes going forward, Rhule has to fire Satt by Monday, right?

Defense and Special Teams have their issues, but the offense has been at its worst these last two seasons. There’s not many OCs who can say they ruined a 5* QB’s potential with 9 games.
