Has Whip found his Amart?
- Thread starter WHCSC
- Start date
I don’t believe Whipple recruited Pickett - Pickett was already at Pitt when Whipple arrived.
Watson had offers from Tennessee, Michigan, Pitt and Oregon. He was the Massachusetts Player Of The Year. As a true freshman he threw for 2800 yards, 31 TDs and ran for 7 more TDs and won a state championship.
Best line Switzer every said, "Tom Osborne could take his players beat you with them and then take your players and beat you with your own." Whipple is a good coach and he'll make our QBs better whether he recruited them or not. His resume working with young QBs is outstanding. I'll add that Whipple had multiple QBs on his roster that he recruited and he still played Pickett. Was he a bad recruiter or just too smart to be loyal to a young QB that he recruited?
I believe given Whipple's resume that Frost is going to get out his way and let him coach. I believe this is a great situation for Frost and the Huskers but we'll see.
That original line was spoken about several other coaches prior to Osborne.
Went @ like this:
"He can take his'n and beat your'n, or he can take your'n and beat his'n."
Spoken about Don Farot in 1950. Later about Bear Bryant in 1960 when he was at Texas A & M. In '79 was what Bum Phillips said about Don Shula. Has also been used a few other times.
Nowadays in college, it probably only applies to Saban and Meyer.
He’d be a fool not to. And from what I’ve read, Whipple doesn’t let the ideology of an offensive system get in the way of trying to win games. I doubt he’ll cast out all of Frosts playbook.
He's said he'll integrate the plays and terminology but he also said that the routes and reads will change. My expectation is that there will be less "option" routes and more WCO routes. Somebody with a more detailed understanding on Whipples past offense at Pitt should probably comment.
I believe given Frost's resume he was told to get out of the way let those who might know what they are doing coach
Think of all the great coaches that only won 1/3 of their games in their first few years of coaching that magically transformed into great managers…
