Coaching...

[huskerdude88]

I just have to be as honest as I possibly can be this coaching is suspect at best. I've seen enough boneheaded calls and substitutions from the last 4 coaches to last a lifetime. There are three clear displays of poor coaching:

1.) It's inexcusable to give up 3 points at the end of the half with a boneheaded passing call which resulted in an INT instead of 3 points.
2.) It is then further inexcusable to have a fumble prone running back in the game in the fourth quarter when you are trying to ice it.
3.) The last straw is having a struggling quarterback in the passing game pass at a critical juncture of the game resulting in a further INT allowing Minnesota to win the game.

These are the three key plays in the ballgame. Nebraska continues to beat itself.

Indeed.

4) After we scored a touchdown and forced a punt, we went pass, pass, pass, punt. WTaF?!

INEXCUSABLE???

Don’t blame the coach. Blame the Ad who could have hired any other coach

Not impressed at all with the preparation of this team for the big stage.

Volleyball took over the field. Big mistake

 

[Harry Caray]

Call me crazy, but perhaps we should try recruiting a QB who can actually pass? It isn't rocket science.

The passing call was fine before the half, it was the decision making by the QB. TE was wide open

 

[K_Y_E]

Absolutely. WTF is going on. Why are we saddled with these dipshits. I was yelling at the tv when we didn’t kick the field goal at the end of the half. My opinion of these coaches has nose dived.

5) Two false starts by upperclassmen inside in the five yards line that cost two likely touchdowns...

Number one had me screaming so hard I nearly passed out.

Rhule didn’t want Casey Thompson

5) Two false starts by upperclassmen inside in the five yards line that cost two likely touchdowns...

The first one would have been so easy if you just call timeout, get everyone where you need them to be without rushing, and watch your 6 foot 4 230 LB QB end up three yards into the end zone on a sneak.

There was zero reason to run a hurry up sneak there, esp on the road in game one.

Yeah when they're called on your team it kinda hurts.

"1.) It's inexcusable to give up 3 points at the end of the half with a boneheaded passing call which resulted in an INT instead of 3 points."

Thank you. I knew I couldn't have been the only one yelling, "Take the 3 points!"

They both should rot on the bench... sick of the ****, these numbnuts need to start being held responsible.

This ^^ Bench them. Really they didn’t have to move at all and Sims could have reached the ball over the goal line.

I’ve said it before that you could insert two cardboard cutouts of them and the cutouts would do a better job in the game.

Bench Grant as well! Send a message. You had your chance and you blew it.

Buffs staff

Go look at who Deion hired and who Rhule hired. Deion spent time looking for guys with experience. Matt hired friends.

Actually fill somewhat bad for Satterfield. He has an extremely inexperienced staff and one that needs to learn and quickly.

Their O Coordinator is a great hire for sure but Rhules staff isn’t as bad as you think. Also Colorado gave up 44 a game last year and that trend continues. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when they play more balanced teams and people get stops against them. TCU D was awful yesterday. ITs a big win, but it’s early. They are clearly better

No team snatches defeat from the jaws of victory like Nebraska does.

1. In that situation, it was exactly the right call, you take a shot. We had a guy open, he missed him. If we didn't get it then they kick.
2. He is one of your best backs, you think you got the message in camp and now have trust in him. Of course you play him!
3. You play to win the damn game, QB had just completed some passes prior, right decision! Kid just made a mistake.

the only thing you are correct on is that we beat ourselves, bad qb decisions and veteran players making stupid mistakes. 'We were lucky to be in a spot to win it, they looked faster and stronger than us most the game in all areas. We need another year of recruiting.

One thing about Husker fans, our hindsight is 20/20. Lots of post game experts.

He hired guys that he knew his expectations and system. They are fine and doing a great job. We need a talent upgrade in our Oline, we missed on a couple portal guys we could be using now

Welcome to the board Coach Satterfield!

 

[JOHNNY N]

Is that you Coach Satterfield?

His post is spot on.

 

[phoenix4nu]

His post is spot on.

I disagree. Especially having Grant carry the ball when the one thing you can’t have in that situation is a fumble. Rhule called him out for fumbling in scrimmages, yet they trusted him to hang onto the ball with the game on the line?

 

[JOHNNY N]

That's fine. Rhule was pretty clear about what was going on at that point, and why anthony grant was in the game.

 

[HuskerBruce81]

The passing call was fine before the half, it was the decision making by the QB. TE was wide open

They should know what they have in quarterback and know that was a low low low percentage play.

The field goal should have been kicked

He’s a high school senior

I bet a dollar against a donut Ervin was pissed when Grant fumbled.

If Ervin's the stud, he has to wonder why he was watching from the sidelines and not carrying the ball with the game on the line.

 

[61bigredfan]

Someone must have told Sims with just a few seconds left before half time that if you don’t see someone wide open in the End zone, throw the ball into the stands. And yet he floats one into the end zone into an area he can’t see and gets picked off.

This is what is concerning about Sims-that in the clutch he will tighten up and make a bad decision. That HAS to get fixed.

Of course I still can’t get over Berringer throwing the pick in the end zone against Miami in the orange bowl…..,

The running back rotation was a mystery thursday night. I certainly hope a valuable lesson was learned.

They should have known he wasn't gonna throw to the wide open receiver?

But don't you think that's something that doesn't even need to be said to a 24 year old QB?

 

[Big G20]

The coaches now know (if they didn’t before) that Sims is terrible at seeing the field and making passes. Thus making that play call not fine. If your QB can’t execute, don’t even call it. Just run.

It's the eqivalent of replacing the #3 hitter with a pinch hitter who strikes out a lot and hits .230.
