Eckeler

Once again … take away the blocked-punt plus one or more NU special teams’ miscues, and this may well have been yet another one score loss.

He is proving is worth. No I-80 marathons for Coach E.

So far a great hire

Yup $$$ well spent. When you pay for a proven product you expect it to have good results.

 

[TruHusker]

Interesting when a very good coach turns things around. Something to learn there.

 

[Truewooper]

Oh for sure pay that man!!

 

[4.6.3]

Yes. Thankful for him. Plus: Osbourne, the Peters brothers, the Winstroms, etc

 

[Zeke Husker]

His units go on the field focused and prepared to make big plays! Major improvement

Barney has figured out how to make the first guy miss. Its a thing of beauty, I can't believe how long we accepted no impact from our special teams when it can be absolutely the difference in....oh...I dunno...maybe....ONE SCORE GAMES

Eckeler was a great hire. He's worth about 2x what he is getting paid now. Great work. Keep it going.

He is going to end up with a broken arm, though. Every time his players did something well, he was jumping into them and high five them. He has always been and excitable guy and that is part of what makes him a great coach. It is also nice the PK is making FGs. Archie needs to learn to drive low line drivers into the wind. His punts got caught fluttering backwards in the breeze on Saturday. (Overall, I think Archie has done a fine job punting the ball. Plus no one has blocked a punt).

Archie was one of the few really pleasant surprises through the first four games. (I suppose more accurately through two of the first four games.) I thought he was pretty average against MSU.

We're 2-3 or 3-2 if Foley was still ST coach.

2-3 easily.

He didn’t punt for 2 of the first 4 games, so we can’t count those games for him. Wind sucks. But with competent ST coaching, I believe we can make appropriate adjustments for the forecast.
