What I didn’t like about Rhule’s words in the press conference - he said there was nothing wrong with the scheme and basically put the failure of our entire special teams unit on our long snapper.

To me - that was garbage. If nothing was wrong with scheme - then foley should have been kept and everything would improve with our long snapper. Screw that - placing the blame solely on that kid is garbage IMO. Was it our long snappers fault every time we fair caught within the 5 yard line? Long snapper’s fault we mishandled the punt return causing us to lose to Iowa.

Some of the punt and field goal blocks when we knew they were sending everyone and had no prayer of getting it off even if the ball came to the punter .1 seconds faster.

Our special teams were a joke and the snapper played a part in that. However - punt return, kick return, punt and fg units were all extremely poor and I’m disappointed Rhule made that kid a scapegoat.

I think when Rhule said a total revamp. I think not only a new STC but also how he was approaching it . That may mean more practice times allowed etc… I think with the addition os Mozee and Phillip Simpson we have plenty of recruiters. We can only have 10 on the road at once.i think this new guy is going to concentrate solely on. ST.

Rhule also said he doesn’t think scheme was the issue and that its impossible to spend more time on it than they had been

So once again we’ll ignore his endlessly meaningless rhetoric and see what kind of product he produces in Sept since he’s too chicken to hold a spring game

I typically do not side with Kong on his opinions of Rhule - but there was nothing that Kong shared in that post that was not said in the press conference.

Agree. That part of the PC rubbed me the wrong way. If he didn't want to be specific about all the facets of the kicking game that sucked, fine, answer the question with coachspeak gobbletigook. But don't brush off all the numerous kinds of miscues on one kid.

If Barthel gets the boot, they should make Ron Brown the RB coach. Roy Helu, Rex Burkhead, Ameer Abdullah say hi and these are just 3 of the names he coached, and look how they turned out. Let Brown have at em.

Brown was an exceptional receivers coach back in the day. My brother loved him. But the receiver blocking on the edge was a thing of beauty when he coached that group. Jon Vedral was a monster on the edge and all of the guys that played were exceptional in blocking the edge. Abdul wasn’t a big guy but tough as nails.
