Into the wind, and then burning a time out. Can someone explain to me what in the hell the coaches were thinking????
Lining up for a 60 yd FG …
- Thread starter regionsdoc
- Start date
Rhule said that it was a called fake and effectively Alvano did not hear the call (because even the kicker thought there is NO CHANCE that we are kicking a FG here).
Rhule just said he had a fake field goal called. What? If you don’t get it you turn it over near midfield in a field position game. Absurd.
That’s 8 million per year coaching -ban me
That is another example of MR’s game management. Iowa would have been screaming fake, knowing even a pro kicker couldn’t make a 60yd FG into the wind with a temp of 25. Mind numbing.
I can’t believe he admitted that he was going to call a fake.
So just another shitty coaching job? Not surprised, Foley was walking all over his dick all year.
The Johnny Superfans will be here shortly to explain that you just don't fix things like idiotic fake field goal calls from 60 yards into the wind in just one year! It takes time!
Honestly - it was the saddest thing this staff has even thought about doing this year. I didn’t know if I should laugh or get pissed.
That one confused me as well. I was actually expecting a fake, and Iowa probably was as well.
My wife doesnt like or understand football and she asked me WTH are they doing?
Rhule and his offensive staff are a bunch of clowns. People actually paid money to see that dysfunctional circus.
Calling a fake field goal in that situation would have been even dumber than wasting a timeout. Is Rhule trying to lose so he can collect that buyout and go back to the beach in North Carolina?
Trying a fake field goal in that situation is exponentially dumber than that onside kick by Frost against NW. Hearing Rhule admit that this is what he was trying to do made me want to upchuck my bourbon. Because right there folks is a flaming admission of total coaching incompetence. When I heard that I said to my daughter that Nebraska has hired another failed idiot head coach. Maybe we won’t wait five years this time.
Completely agree. I understand that the roster needs a rebuild, but MR week after week just makes stupid decisions. Even in the Purdue win he and Satt made idiotic game management decisions that gave Purdue iLife in a game that was over. Remember when HH took a vicious hit, looked so bad he should maybe come out of the game, and the next play was a designed QB run that HH fumbled (and was returned for a TD)??? Complete lack of common sense…
I honestly cannot imagine a worse decision there...fake 60 yard FG? If we have a play THAT good out of the FG formation, we ought to be running it more often. Unless it was reverse psychology, making Iowa think "There is NO WAY they are going to fake a FG here...maybe they will pooch punt so we better get someone deep".
Really hard to understand. I'm giving Rhule some slack because of the QB deficit we have, but that was decision is hard to defend.

WTF fake FG??? Haarberg can make FGs from 70. Rhule is just trying to lose games now.
Them calling a fake would have been on another level of stupid, far worse than Frost calling for an onside kick up 2 possessions.
Ioway was not going to be fool for 60 yard FG, that just Ludacris and burning a time out on top of it..
Disappointed on how Rhule has handles a handful of games this year..
