Marcus Washington?
- Thread starter Pennsyhusker
- Start date
Not sure on him, but I heard LR had a staph infection and another starting LB with injury history may be out again.
The last I read Rhule thought it was his knee? I believe they're going to scope/scan it or whatever. I hope it's not serious.
Me too. That position was already thin
We’re really gonna need him down the stretch, but coming from someone who’s had 3 ACL reconstructions, it didn’t look good. Hope one of the young in can grow up quick and play some big boy ball…
Don’t hold your breath. The position coach himself is still learning to coach, so it’s hard for anyone young to learn if the coach is also super inexperienced.
I saw cut ties the whole offensive staff, hire a good OC and allow him to help field his offensive staff. We don’t have coach on that side of the ball worth keeping
Careful how you talk about Skippy Mac… I was told that hiring a 24 year old position coach was nothing to be concerned about.
he was walking off the field on his own, albeit with that left knee heavily wrapped
I can’t see Rhule firing a buddy or the son of a buddy after just one year.
This staff needs to get these younger players especially WR ready to perform with half the season left to go..
This. Especially with a bye week.
Hold on friends! Rhule is building the right way. Sure it would be nice to have 2 solid recievers but give Doss and Coleman some experince and Bullock is coming on. OC needs to incorporate more 2 TE sets and opt runs.I'd like to see more of Fleeks to relieve Grant. JMO We're already ahead of Frosty's best at 6 games!
Coleman played 67 snaps yesterday
Second most at WR, just slightly behind Bullock and well above Kemp who had third most snaps
Play action fake to the RB then throw it to the RB is under utilized in this offense..imo.
And that was mostly because of Washington injury…
Luv that he going to get more playing time.. big time potential in that young man.
Except for Riola I don’t agree with you because this is only the 6th game they’ve coached together, from what I’ve heard on the defensive side a number of the coaches we’re familiar with of did some work with Tony white plus the defense has more talent ri now
HH is just learning how to run the option. It will get better as the year goes on but will take a couple of more training camps to become a consistent staple of the offense.
sending RBs out in patterns is a luxury raiola's offensive line doesn't afford this offense
they are required to attempt to pass protect
Agree 100%. The entire offensive coaching staff should be fired. Our offense is so far behind the rest of college football. Could use 22 offensive players out of the portal next year. While we are at changing staff I continue to believe we have an abnormal number of injuries. S&C coach, looking at you. What is going on. Are they not in shape, not flexible, not taped right?
When it comes to the injuries I think it is because they have worked harder than they ever did under Frost. You have to remember they never practiced tackling and rarely scrimmaged. Now they’re doing both of those things in practice weekly.
Then why did a good number of players have a lot of soft tissue injuries under frost?
That I think is rampant across all of football. I can’t blame Frost for soft tissue injuries. Some will point the finger at artificial turf, which it may be, but it’s probably one factor of many. Athletes today are so much more athletic when it comes to fast twitch motion. It’s not a wonder why they tear their ACL/MCL frequently with that kind of activity.
And that in itself is a problem. cronyism is a big problem in Lincoln especially on the offensive side of the ball.
When Rhule said we were a developmental program, I took it to mean players not coaches.
Our skill position sucks but people dont want to hold the WR & RB Coach accountable. Head scratching
One coach is cutting his teeth coaching in overall (scary). He should be a GA for his dad @ Tech
We’ve got another coach cutting his teeth coaching big time football. Getting guys coffee in Carolina and @ Penn State doesn’t count. B1G isn’t Albany or Howard
It’s not a coincidence how inexperienced we are on coaching on offense and how bad we are on offense. Some of you really can’t be that dumb.
Ship at least one of them out this off-season. Maybe daddy will hire skippy boy genius
Don’t forget the OL coach
At least the WR coach & RB coach had actually recruited in their life prior to coming here. More than the OL coach can say.
And our TE coach is a replacement no one was willing to hire as an assistant coach. He got his job by default.
But let’s not look at coaching, cause that looks poorly on Rhule as some of you think.
But look, he did the same thing with Dvoracek and Knighton really. But those seemed to play out cause they have Cooper and White to lean on. They don’t have a Cooper and White to lean on offensive. It’s a real bad situation in the coaching room on offense.
Yeah having the basically the same Oline, losing the receiving core and two of the top tree RB's wouldn't hurt at all, third string QB with no experience ,let's blame a coach. This isn't a video game , how can the offense jell ? 6 games in as well. How are they not being accountable ? I'd love to see a new coach do any better with this bucket of shit he's been handed. The season is not over either. Lord man.
That high due to Washington but his snaps had been increasing prior to his concussion ... even without Washington injury I believe he would have been in the 35-45 range
You didn’t prove anything to defend the coaches ability. You just made excuses and smoked and mirrored the topic into another fight. strawman approach much?
Learn how to fight the actual topic. Want to defend them, prove it. Don’t disprove something we aren’t disputing
You know who does well in shitty situations? People who are great at their jobs
How do you think shitty employees do in shitty situations? Not great.
Red flags all over the place

Somehow you think you can judge the ability of specific coaches based upon a rather meager sample size in the first year of their tenure, complicated by a decreasing amount of availability of players at the top of the roster.
I think there are quality coaches on the defensive side of the ball, but they were helped by a shift to a scheme that massively took advantage of the present roster. On the flip side, there was severe pruning of the skill talent on the offensive side of the ball and that side is a work in progress, especially considering they were running an offense not at all like the present one last year.
Let’s get this straight, I questioned their ability when their sample size was zero. I don’t think any of the position coaches were qualified to coach their position. I think the only reason they got the job is because who they know and not what they did. A small sample size still shows red flags. And pretty much every bad hire had the writing on the wall as a small sample size. People said the same shit to me with smiling Mike. How’d that turn out?
And I agree the defensive coaches are doing fantastic work. It’s fine bringing in an inexperienced 1 or 2 guys but don’t build a whole staff with it.
So you pre-judged the offensive coaches and then convicted them based upon nothing. Something tells me you’d feel the same way regardless of their present record.
Wrong. I thought the same with Dvoracek and Knighton originally. But man, the minute I herd Rob talk to players, I knew I was wrong. That’s a leader. And we will be lucky to keep Terrance.
It’s not my fault there is just bad coaching on the offense. EJ’s stupidity likely cost us a game. And he ran out talent we could really use. AJ doing well at the U.
Donovan has had two years to do something about the problem at tackle. And Skippy can’t teach when he’s still learning
Do you ever write anything with substance? Literally just looked at your message history. Everything is “you’re a clown or you’re an idiot”
How profound
Kewan Lacy may be the gem of this class. I can’t fault EJ for getting 4/5 running backs deep at his room ready to go and all have had their moments, productive moments behind the OL.
Ives may be a developmental type player that is taking more time. Is he behind Fleeks and walk-on Luben? He’s probably right up there behind Fleeks
Ervin
R. Johnson
AG
E. Johnson
Fleeks
I got zero problems with Coach EJ
“I think the only reason they got the job is because who they know and not what they did”
News flash: “people get jobs because of who they know, not what they know”
Duh.
qb: last years starter gone-to a bad team.. Last years backup gone. Portal qb turnover machine.
Rb: 1st and 2nd string out for year
TE: best player coming off 2nd major knee surgery
WR: best player to NFL. 2nd best quit (again) current best new transfer. current 2nd best injured
OL. Prochaska coming off major knee surgery. Center new transfer. Whole line struggled last year.
Overall recruiting last (6) years-hampered by 6 straight no bowl losing seasons-worst string in BCS
Obviously it must be the coaches!

Quit changing the subject. This thread is about bashing coaches.
