Cav was worse than the claims of his harshest critics. It is possible we see substantially improved line play next year.
Maybe email this over to Frost. He might want to get a heads up as to why his players prefer to stand around this spring.
Good listen. Thanks for sharing. No words for that. How come we never heard this before from those that attend practice?
As I've posted several times before. I don't think we can judge our defensive assistants based on what we saw in games. The assistants were at the mercy of how our coordinators ran practice and how they dictated our coaching other than maybe the specific coach Charlie mentions. Makes me feel bad for JP. He never had a chance really.
Exactly, you could have picked anyone out of the stadium and have them stand on the sidelines on game days and no one would have noticed the difference.
Thanks for posting that. Just finished listening. Charlie is a fun to listen to. I bet he would be great as an analyst on college football broadcasts.
Did I or did I not tell you that they look like a team that doesn't hit in practice? Going out there on Saturdays looking like they had no idea somebody was gonna try to smack into them.
Not in a single year, no. Which is why that notorious "year two bump" exists where you typically see a big improvement from year one to year two.
That is what I am hoping. I know many think we will be lucky to win 5 or 6 games next year (me included). Many experts have said this team has talent they just couldn't figure out why we were having such a hard time. Sounding more and more like it was 100% coaches. We get a good coaching staff in here and these guys could turn around quicker than most of us think.
Yes you can fix it, can you get players to an elite level to win a national title in a year, probably not. Take a kid like Nick Gates, he played at Bishop Gorman in high school and I guarantee you that he was better coached there than he was here.
If you look at how our offensive line played this year, I think that's exactly what happened. We have talented players on our O line. The starters knew they were never going to be benched by Cav so they didn't practice hard throughout the week. You can't just switch it on on game day even if you wanted to and that's why it looks like they don't care at all when getting beat constantly.
Why does Riley get a pass? He was overseeing this. He is a nice guy, so I guess there is that...
I think the Riley hire was great, Frost said it himself that he would not have taken the job three years ago. Shawn Eichorst in all his glory knew that Mike Riley would shit the bed in year three and that he would be fired allowing us to hire a new AD and then get Frost. Without the brilliance of SE we would not be where we are today. Riley knew that all he needed to do was let Scott get some experience as a HC and then we could hand off the program to Scott so that he could then head back to OSU.
It just blows my mind how such a large percentage on this board are feeling so warm hearted that Mike Riley is coaching again with a big chunk of Husker money in his back pocket and are quite OK with his complete miss management of this program. If I was ever inclined to set up a scam – this would be one of the first places I would come and be a nice guy.
LOL!!! Bottom line is we have a competent coach now and that is a good thing!I think the Riley hire was great, Frost said it himself that he would not have taken the job three years ago.
