Players who constantly fail typically get benched and replaced. Why would a coach be any less accountable?
We’ve got a few posters call for the heads of multiple staff members and we’re 5-1.
Same posters were calling for heads over “close” win with UNI and for the finish to last year. We are 5-1 with our best start in 7 years - I’m convinced regardless of our record and even if we were playing championship level football there would be someone on the staff people would want gone.We’ve got a few posters call for the heads of multiple staff members and we’re 5-1.
I haven't gone back and reviewed that block but it looked like they got outnumbered on our left side. The protector took the outside guy when generally you are taught to take the inside rusher with a more direct line. To be fair, the inside guy was a bit delayed.
Obviously these people want top win, everyone wants to win, but their egos get in the way and think they're smarter than everyone and it will work out. Or they value their relationship with said coach more and don't want to be the bad guy. It was the same for Callahan, same for Frost...these guys wanted to win, but they hired buddies instead of good coaches and they got canned. It'll happen to Rhule too if he doesn't prioritize the program over any 1 individual. You think Saban would have got to this point? He'd have had the locks changed.
So Saban fired every assistant that wasn’t meeting muster in the middle of the season?
Sh## happens awfully fast. I never played in college but I played against some guys who were All Big 8 at Nebraska. You take a half of a step the wrong way and you're pretty much screwed against P5 talent. I haven't watched any replays and really don't care if I do. I leave the analysis to the "experts". I don't know if scheme is some of our problem on punt protection or if it's dudes or the grey matter between the dudes' ears. I'm a wait until the end of the season and then let the head coach evaluate his assistants. I think calling for somebody to be fired in the middle of the season is counter-productive.

Rhule knows exactly why things are the way they are with special teams problems. He has said “we have the right guy to fix the problems”. I’ll believe him and logically look at the screwups without calling for Foley’s head
rocket surgery? Fixing the problems isn't rocket "surgery" either. My phone is terrible at changing words for me too.
Rhule apparently disagrees with your assessment and we're paying Rhule 7 figures to make those decisions. Rhule said "we have the right guy in place to fix the problems". Maybe he changes his tune on about January 3rd...
Stay optimistic my friend. Our extra points this past game looked very routine and Hohl did a nice job on his kickoff after Buschini got dinged up. Buschini is a little slow to the foot sometimes but they’ll fix the protection issues. I’m really not all that worried about special teams. This isn’t Callahan bad problems. It’s different individual guys making individual mistakes randomly. Gotta give some credit to Schiano too. The guy has lots of cred for his special team kick block history. It’s a chess match on every play.
I guess we will see what Rhule ends up doing. He's called Foley out multiple times this year indirectly and I doubt he is ever going to stand up at a presser and say "Foley is doing a ****** terrible job". I guess if this is the hill you want to die on, but you defending Foley is comical. Like someone else said. Satt is head-scratching at times, but he isn't potentially ruining games. Foley's group is. He is lucky dudes like Nate Boerkircher busted their *** and saved a touchdown to cover his ***.
1 blocked punt in 2023. 3 blocked field goals in 2023. I don't recall if there were any others. I thought we deflected a punt earlier this season but not locating it so might be wrong on that.
I don’t think you’re the right fit for this board.
When you have accompanied as much as Redli has in life - you get license to spout passive aggressive nonsense in perpetuity. I’ve never seen anyone truly take advantage of it like he has - but it’s his right I suppose.
Haha right? Hey I’m all for questioning a 4th down call, or a max blitz etc. Second guessing plays, strategy and what not is fans rights and part of the fun. What I won’t stand for is the pitch fork and torch, fire everyone clown comments… Rhule is what 18 months into rebuilding a bottom 20% D1 football program?!
Who allowed?? Rhule said yesterday it was missed assignments on punts, in particular Luke Gifford missed his (Matt Rhules words). Should we bench Gifford? C’mon man, see the big picture.
