How the heck does someone call that play "power"? That goes against just about everything that defines the play "power".If he was hired at Nebraska, he would do a damn good job here and don't make the mistake of thinking his triple-option attack is the old-school triple option because it isn't. He runs it out of the flex bone formation as the base set. The wishbone is the old-school triple option. That allows for more flexibility and you can have a TE or RB or a FB at one of the flex spots. This base set forces a defense to have to defend the pass and run.
Other common formations to stress the defense that he uses is the pistol formation, three-wide receiver sets, the T-formation, RPOs from the flexbone.
Navy uses zone blocking in their rushing attack while Army uses gap schemes.
Some clips of other formations used that would be loved at Nebraska.
If Jeff Monken was hired at Nebraska, there will be some fans that would think we went back to the 1960's of high school offenses, but in reality, Jeff's offense is incredibly smart and isn't anything like the old school triple option out of the wishbone.
We'll see. It's getting embarrassing for him that so many teams have passed on him.I would be surprised if he accepted if offered. Whether if he hates Nebraska or not. He will get a HC position in the NFL sooner than later in my opinion
I agree with this 100%. I would be interested in how much hitting actually gets done in practice these days. They have legislated most of the "to the ground" tackling out of the game in high school practices, not sure on college but would suspect that is most generally the case as well. I'm a strong believer in teams being good at defending what their offense focuses on. If your offense can run the ball your defense will be salty against the run most of the time.I like the clock control, 4th quarter and I believe running the ball in practice, makes your d a lot tougher and better tacklers for game day.
No. having one or two option plays in a playbook is like running a trick play.So running an option type running offense is the same as running trick plays?
Does he even have anything to do with KC's offense? It's all Andy.Trev should force Eric Bienemy to say no before even posting the job
He is the biggest no brainer since… well, Scott Frost. 2 straight Super Bowls, knows offense, knows Nebraska, knows winning & I imagine has a hell of a network from which to choose a staff
being in that atmosphere is good enough for me.Does he even have anything to do with KC's offense? It's all Andy.
I would think he would be a hell of a recruiter.being in that atmosphere is good enough for me.
I'd take him over mickey mouse monken all day long
We'll see. It's getting embarrassing for him that so many teams have passed on him.
I did read he was on Colorado's coaching staff when there was multiple rape allegations against players. Also in his playing days he assaulted a parking lot attendant. And was banned from campus for a year. Plus a DUI in 2001.I believe I read a report about Bielema and some sexual misconduct from his time at Colorado. I think that is coming up in some of the vetting processes
I actually thought the Texans blew it not hiring him. Well before all the Watson drama started coming out. I thought with what he learned under Reid and having a QB like Watson would have been a great fit for success with BienemyAgree, but somebody is going to give him a job very soon. I don't personally have any idea how good he is or if he has a thing to do with the offense...but his official title is OC, and he's black. So the NFL is going to want him to get a job and it will happen.

Could be, also could be he’s in a ‘head coach in waiting’ type situation in KCI believe I read a report about Bielema and some sexual misconduct from his time at Colorado. I think that is coming up in some of the vetting processes
All the teams are hoping some other team will step up. If Cincy or Arizona falls apart, maybe them. Not too many other teams that don't have a new coach or established coach that's good.Agree, but somebody is going to give him a job very soon. I don't personally have any idea how good he is or if he has a thing to do with the offense...but his official title is OC, and he's black.

So no head coach experienceCould be, also could be he’s in a ‘head coach in waiting’ type situation in KC
Also could be like venables and just not want to be a HC
That he was never linked to his alma mater after Mel Tucker flew the coop is a bit curious
ThisI don't care what type of offense Nebraska runs as long as they actually have an identity for their offense. I still have no idea what Nebraska's identity is on offense after 3+ seasons.
Bienemy, but yeah, have heard the same. Has some skeletonsI believe I read a report about Bielema and some sexual misconduct from his time at Colorado. I think that is coming up in some of the vetting processes

Yes that's fine. I think Frost ran something similar to the first. We've gotta have tackles and the that can block the edge as well as receiversIf he was hired at Nebraska, he would do a damn good job here and don't make the mistake of thinking his triple-option attack is the old-school triple option because it isn't.

My bad. Yes Bienemy.Bienemy, but yeah, have heard the same. Has some skeletons
Not true... Look at air Force. Conference, and still crush it most years. It's hard to prepare for triple option attack in just a weekI love his offense but one thing that helps them is they are not in a conference, which means they are not seeing all the same teams each season.
So conference teams, after a season or two, have a better understanding (in theory) of how to attack it.
As Clinton Portis stated so eloquently after the 2001 Rose Bowl..."Man, they wasn't gonna come back on us with the option!"
Yeah, they do well, but over the last 10 years they have 6.7 wins per season. That is good, no doubt, but say NU runs what they do AND gets some better players, do they average 8 or 9 wins a season?Not true... Look at air Force. Conference, and still crush it most years.

Except we have most of what we need already? Barring transfers of courseI don't care what type of offense Nebraska runs as long as they actually have an identity for their offense. I still have no idea what Nebraska's identity is on offense after 3+ seasons.
I think the biggest risk in moving to a primary triple option attack is the "what if it doesn't work" angle. If it doesn't work, Nebraska sets itself another half decade behind being competitive because the personnel style will need to shift to the triple option then likely the pivot away from the triple option.
Just seems like a desperation play where the risks outweigh the rewards imo.
Fans could handle that level of winning if the coach wasn't an assYeah, they do well, but over the last 10 years they have 6.7 wins per season. That is good, no doubt, but say NU runs what they do AND gets some better players, do they average 8 or 9 wins a season?
Well, we had that, with Bo (even better actually) and a lot of fans could not handle that.
Bo was an ass though. Main reason he got fired, as well as his few losses were always very meaningful ones. The service academies pull off huge upsets quite frequentlyYeah, they do well, but over the last 10 years they have 6.7 wins per season.

Do you have a list? I'm asking honestly because I'm curious. I know Navy has beaten ND a few times recently, and I know that the service academies cover the spread a LOT. However, frequently pulling off huge upsets might be a stretch. I guess the definition of "huge" might vary. I fully agree with Tuco really disliking the plan of shortening the game, limiting possessions and hanging around a close game hoping for a miracle against more talented teams. We won a lot of games running the option because we flat out had better, stronger players. That is not going to be the case in this day and age.The service academies pull off huge upsets quite frequently
I think this is pretty made up. Navy's "upsets" pretty much consist of beating Notre Dame once every 5 years. Army has had some close calls including about getting Oklahoma and Air Force really hasn't had any, what you would consider, "huge" upsets.Do you have a list? I'm asking honestly because I'm curious.
