***Official Purdue Game Discussion Thread***

[Saunders]

Where the hell do you people just realize that if we just execute, things usually go our way! If we don't have the players to execute, then we need to get them...

This is something Bo Pelini would say...

And then True would lambast him for it.

Haha! Yep you guys are right and it is funny. Key difference here though and I know most of you won't get it or even care to read this, but the big difference is that I supported Bo for about the first 5 years. Hell, f#*k that, I even supported Bo in his final year when he swore he had seen the light and some changes were coming.

7 years in, we watched the same team do the same stuff in the same schemes.

If you can't respect the difference there, then piss off and quit talking to me.

I do see the difference. Except, we're doing the same things, and worse. If it was bad for Bo, it has to be bad for Riley too.

Not sure how much to put on Coach Riley and his staff yet.

Watching the games, the players are there, they are in position to succeed. They are not executing and they are not making plays.

Too many experts here throwing the coaches under the bus and not even talking about the players.

A defensive back watches the WR catch the ball and then misses the tackle, and tha'ts the coaches fault?

Ryker throws a pick on a horrible pass and the first and following comments here are about Langsdorf?

Gimme a break guys, these players are really doing a poor job this year. Period. It's all about how much ownership you think Riley and his staff have in this team and right now, I seriously question how much this is "their team".

Coaches need to put the players in position to succeed. Purdue has the worst rush D in the B1G, and we abandoned the run. Our secondary has been torched by every QB we've faced, Banker says "oh, we can make adjustments" and we continue to put them on islands and put them in position to fail.

It's not just the fans questioning what's going on. It's former players and analysts across the country.

As a leader/manager/boss it is YOUR JOB to put people under you in the best position possible to succeed. Even if you don't have a team of rock stars, you do what you can. Nebraska isn't doing that.

 

[kshusker89]

Banker can't be compared to Cosgrove, he's in a whole different league of terrible.

 

[URSS]

I don't see us winning any more games this year. Should Riley start playing the benchers to look for next year's starters?

 

[San Diego Husker]

the best thing I saw today, was that the kids kept playing!! they know they are going down in Husker history for all the wrong reasons.. Hope Person El is going to be ok, sounds like he blew out his knee..

these kids deserve better coaches.. we deserve a better AD and President. Fire Harvey Pearlman and Shawn Eichorst!!

quote from Eichorst that he will regret forever.. Bo was "fired because he couldn't win the games that mattered" I guess shawn's new quote.. "None of Mike Riley's games matter!!" so I don't need to fire him....

Of course the sun shine pumpers will blame all this on the kids!!

 

[True2tRA]

It's a shame our season is what it is, when you have guys like Gangwish who care so much.

PURE CLASS by Gangwish. Well done young man.

RESPECT. Well done Gangwish.

The fact that Ozigbo didn't have a carry is disappointing.

Still this is far from laying it "all" on the coaches.

 

[San Diego Husker]

For all you whining little b!tches ... for me this loss means I have to run 20 miles. 44 - 55 = 100 points 10.0 miles. Then another 10 miles for each point we lost by.

I wasn't planning on a 20 mile run in the morning. Gonna be brutal.

I could drive 20 miles pretty sure I cannot run that far.. feel for ya! good luck.

The fact that you can't find any blame on the coaches acceptable in possibly the worst season in Nebraska history is laughable.

I mean, Jesus our play calling is like some 12 year old playing Madden for the first time. I think a blind person pointing randomly at a playbook could call a better game.

But no, you're right this is all Bo's and the players fault. Riley is completely f'ing blameless.

I never said that, but if it helps you to feel better, then I'll carry that weight.

This +1000, and why folks like True just don't get it.

Frankly, if Riley were a CEO, he would have already been fired, his tenure has been that abysmal so far.

I do think the coaches set the tone and define the standards. In the case of the DB, was he taught to stay on the WR or to play the ball? There is some technique that needs to be taught. I would imagine that the DB's attitude and ego need some coache's attention also. The pass defense has been a problem since the first game. What improvement or changes have been made?

Second verse, same as the first.

These mistakes are coachable and fixable.

Ryker did exactly what Tommy did last week. Fixable.

Players play.

Coaches coach.

You can look on the sideline and tell that everybody is going through the motions right now.

We get what you're saying but at the end of the day, accountability must always, ALWAYS fall with the person running the program and that is Mike Riley. You can look at other coaches who have turned programs around or have simply won. Mike Riley is a career .500 coach. What part of your brain doesn't understand that? He couldn't even win in the NFL.

 

[Sea of Red]

Gangwish hell ya. That is beyond awesome.

Oh, I agree it's not "all" on the coaches.

Ozigbo did play though and got a couple carries and a catch. No idea where Wilbon is. They raved about him all last year.

Riley has even said that his philosophy for the secondary is to not turn your head to look at the ball. So yes that actually is on the coaches
