I didn’t hear his comments but I would take it as him putting the loss on the coaches. He’s not gonna call out the players, so he’s not going to say we don’t have the players on either line to compete in the BIG.
The comment was valid though. We got gimmicked with their run game. They continually moved line man in the opposite direction off their back and our D-Line ate the bait. Purdue doesn’t beat us if we can continually drop 8. They had to have a running game to compete. Rutgers actually has a better running game then Purdue. Our defense line didn’t follow the ball, they got fooled. It was a desperation move my Purdue and it worked and with an awkward size back like Mockobee, it’s hard to tackle that kind of back when you lose position. If the D-Line follows the ball and not the dude in front of him, he’s toast most of the night. So yeah, Dawson failed to prep his guys for that. MJ not blowing smoke. He’s being real
It is coach speak he’s not gonna throw the players under the bus and say that they are less talented. He’s just covering for them that’s what his job is. But I’m pretty sure behind the scenes he’s addressing their problems to the best of his ability
He doesn’t have to throw anyone under the bus, just do what Frost never did, coach!! A good game plan,plans for whatever they could throw at us, or it makes adjustments to cover your issues. They didn’t do anything in the second half that they didn’t do in the first, we just couldn’t make the right adjustments. That’s coaching. Three of their touchdowns came off missed tackles, that’s coaching, we’ve had that issue all season. I don’t mean to criticize, MJ is going to be a great coach, he doesn’t show that he’s ready. Other than one game all the ones left are winnable with the players we have, so just scheme it out right and win.
Riley was not a good coach but better than the guy that followed him.
Great teacher. Good coach. Bad program leader. You need a guy to crack the whip
Piss poor attitudes got us here ? Hmmmm . I thought it was coaching, recruiting, and development...my bad.
You are going to judge Mickey on how he does with players recruited and (un)developed by Frost? Doesn’t make sense to me. I think you can already see improvement in the team since Mickey has taken over. Mickey is not going to get a better O line or faster linebackers until he can get to the off season and recruit some better players. What he can do is coach these players that are already on the team better than what they have been. I think he has shown he is capable of doing precisely that.
Bill Jennings was the worst record-wise but Frost probably should be IMO.
Pre-Madonna = Disco Music… Get down on it by Kool and the gang is Pre-Madonna
I said there are improvements, improving the o line and defense isn’t on him as much as the assistants. But to say that you don’t expect better play from the o line after eight weeks of working together with their peers and the line coach in practice is a “Frostism”that doesn’t hold water. Don’t you think that Alberts will judge him somewhat by the play he sees on the field.
