Bruce Read. Fired

[Savage Husker]

Good for Riley.

 

So Tavita Thompson gets the promotion, which allows him to hit the trail and recruit during this open session starting tomorrow. Is my guess.

Don't stop there! Show Banker the door

I truly am not sure Banker needs to go...

re-watch the OSU and Iowa game and get back to me.

It's about damn time. I mean, after seeing this today, I about spit out my drink.

Is he saying let other people try besides DPE? I mean, sure, go ahead, but DPE was not at all the issue with the return team.

 

Yeah, I have no idea what Sam is getting at here.

He did well against bad offenses. That said when your offense goes 3 and out over and over it gives the opposing team way more time to score more points and do it against a tired defense. Neither the OSU or Iowa games would have been so lopsided if our offense played even decently.

 

I said before the Iowa game he should be fired though.

Happy to see him go like the rest of you. Impressed that Coach did it and quickly. Do feel sorry for Read, getting fired during the Holiday season is tough non only on him, but his family. But, it will give him more time to spend with them to I guess.

 

Life is a tough road, these coaches work a lot of hours, spend a lot of time away from their families, but make a pretty good living for that time.

 

Very glad that Coach Riley is putting the team and program in front of long time friendships. Shows promise I think.

So.... our entire defense missing tackles is the DC's fault?

If you read his comment thread with Severe, he's essentially blaming DPE.

 

I mean...

 

 

No... just.... no.

With Read's vaunted "let everyone stand around while 6 guys swarm the return man" punting unit, he will have no problems finding a new job.

 

Best of luck shitbag

Yes I agree. Basically what I'm saying is the D isn't as bad as the score makes it look. But, we aren't winning championships with Banker as the coordinator.

[zoogs]

It hasn't all been DPE either, but this has been an up-and-down season for him coming back from injury. I think it's telling that they considered redshirting him, which in retrospect, may have been wiser had DPE been open to it.

 

There was a lot of hope DPE would be this jet sweep, slot WR, do-everything machine and it hasn't materialized. It's not close to being all on him, but with one year left the hopes that this will ever happen are starting to close.

 

I'm surprised that Read was actually fired, but I think Riley's comment was revealing. Read wasn't much of a recruiter. And for every good thing ST did, it seemed like they had two bad mishaps even towards the tail end of the year. I'm curious to see how he'll be replaced!

Banker won't be an immediate decision, unless Riley has been talking to hot commodity DCs during the season, which wouldn't be a good look. I don't know if Bray is ready as a DC yet and would rather take someone with proven experience before Bray gets that promotion.

 

I do think Banker is on a short leash after Riley showed the stones to fire a "buddy."

Just following Sam and his Pick Six Podcast he does not seem to be the biggest fan of DPE for whatever reason
