KF Should Be Ashamed

[Kceasthawk@77]

No, I haven’t. Such a systemic issue must mean there’s a problem at the top, eh?

If it was a problem on a regular basis then yes, that would be a systematic issue. when you are almost always one of the least penalized teams and rarely turn the ball over, then no.

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Whose job is it to get the team ready?

How is one of your top receivers dropping the ball mean the coaches "didn't get him ready". They work EVERY day on ball security and we have more fumbles in one game than all season. But that's on the coaches?

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

Yup. Lots of dudes with fat, annoying wives who don't want to even think about if we could do better. Just gotta accept what you have and try to be enthusiastic about it

Thanks for joining the conversation junior. Yet another poster who only jumps in when things go bad. Yeah!

 

[Kceasthawk@77]

No, to the contrary, the one game sample size shows an aberration to the historic body of work...

Exactly, but your talking to the wall, so.....

I'm not putting this one on the coaches. So many players failed to do their job today. I don't remember ever seeing this bad of a shitshow.

I agree. They had their mistakes, but good moments. For example, I was very shocked at the fake punt in our territory. Holy cow, I still can't believe we did that . . . gutsy call.

- Coaches can't make our two QBs hit wide open receivers or not throw it into the hands of defenders.
- Coaches can't make QBs, RBs, PRs, and WRs not cough up the ball (I would say it's a bad call to still not replace our PR).
- Coaches can't make punt blockers block. Holy cow, the guy went right through two people, including Buffington.
- Coaches can't force Watson to stay onsides. That was so asinine.

So a player fumbling a ball or your best WR dropping a pass right in his hands that gets intercepted is on the coaches poor preparation? Explain how you'd coach RVZ on how not to drop that pass that was right in his hands and got picked. Are you saying the coaches don't work EVERY day on ball security with the RB"s? Have you ever seen Iowa have 6 or 7 TO's in a game. Is that coaching. We stop Minny on a 4th and goal and our DB is lined up a good 1/2 yd offsides. Is that coaching when he;s a veteran players?

You described numerous players on the team apparently not having their heads in the game. Sounds like the coaching staff didn’t have the team in the right frame of mind to play a rivalry game.

I’ve already destroyed this take. Try to keep up.

Ultimately the coach gets the praise when things go well, and they also get the blame when they dont.

Absolute nonsense. So any player who loses control of a ball, his "heads not in the game"? Got it.

Several players **** the bed coming out of a bye week, how is that not on the coaches?

Try to pull your head out of your backside. Not every guy losing a fumble or dropping a pass is because the player doesn't have his head in the game. Your one of those guys who sits on his couch and acts like he'd never make a mistake or would have called all the right plays after watching how the play went, and then says, "I wouldn't have run that, I'd have done this". There's no escaping this stuff from some of you after any game we lose. You know its funny though, because most of you know it alls were no where to be found after we traveled to Seattle and spanked Washington on a short week, when most of the week all we heard was how bad we ALWAYS play on the west coast. I guess the coaches did a pretty good job of having them ready, but you sure didn't here much about that from the peanut gallery.

If I am Tony Diaz's agent, I am shopping him now for next year. A really good talent with nobody to get the ball to him. I would also give Bessinger some major reps in practice because we won't be a contender this year with these two guys playing like they are playing. If they don't like it they can leave. Hank is the most vanilla QB in the Big Ten and not real effective, and Heck, while more versatile, is way too inconsistent. We held Minnesota to 13 points (3 after a blocked punt) and 200 yards and we lose? If Hank is starting going forward then we will lose 3 more games starting with Wisconsin next week.

Time for KF to hang it up. We aren’t a serious football program. You can’t lose to garbage Minnesota

Purdue 41
Minnesota 13

Minnesota 13
Iowa 10

But the Hawkeyes have the winningest coach in Big Ten history. Whatever would they do without him?
