Is he allowed to hold the coaches under him accountable? :facepalm:
Not sure what you're getting at here... If you mean he can't fire them, I guess I would assume he can't directly fire them, but I have a strong feeling if he told Bo "X coach isn't getting it done for me" Bo would take his word on it and make the changes necessary. Accountability doesn't necessarily mean firing somebody, and I'm not on the staff so all I can do is speculate.
I think it's pretty obvious what i'm getting at, Watson has had issues with a few of his coaches, and nothing was done.
For the ones that want Watson gone, who would you like to see as the new OC and explain why?
Ya I want Watson gone and I'd rather have Greg Knapp.
Greg Knapp: Current qb coach for the Houston Texans, has been offensive coordinator for the Falcons, Seahawks, and 49ers. He is the one responsible for developing Matt Schaub into a starting qb in the NFL and he likes a run focused west coast offensive, which means Nebraska wouldn't have a giant shift in a playbook and we would still stay dedicated to the run. He recieved oc of the year at Atlanta and in the same year they averaged the most rushing yds a game in the NFL. He also handled Vick and was his mentor his first few years when he had the greatest growth in his pre-jail period. So he can handle big attitude players and he can develop players too. He knows how to run an offense in a way Nebraska fans would enjoy. Oh and the running back for the Texans this year just happens to be leading the NFL. As only being a qb coach in the NFL he might actually look to join prestigious Nebraska as the head man of the offense.
A NFL coordinator with little college experience? Sacremento State doesn't count, what has this guy proven? Great idea, lets take a piss on the players we've recruited into the system and have 3-4 more years of down offense.
Is he allowed to hold the coaches under him accountable? :facepalm:
yes those under him should be held accountable, so we need to take a serious look through the coaches this off-season and see who's doing their job to an acceptable standard for Nebraska and it's tradition and take action after that
Should be is fine, I asked if Watson was allowed to hold them accountable personally. Your answer had nothing to do with what I asked.
1.What were we thinking with Watson or Callahan then? What had Watson done at Colorado before came here? Lead a decent at best Colorado team? He was just Barnett's coach and where is Gary Barnett now? Then we hired Callahan as coach and he had only been an o-line coach at the college level so what experience did he really have in leading a college football team? Greg Knapp can develop players unlike Callahan who can only inherit them or recruit. Oh and Greg Knapp runs the West Coast offensive like we run RIGHT NOW so we're not throwing out the offense just getting someone in who can help players develop and understand the system.
2.Well obviously people didn't know what you were asking since multiple people were confused with what you meant. Don't assume we know what you mean, give clear questions and what type of answers your looking for but if you don't want to do that, then don't complain about people's answers just because they percieved something different than you.
Callahan was in hindsight, a bad move, obviously. Watson was evaluated by Osborne and asked to stay to provide continuity, our offense carried a mediocre defense in 2008 with Watson at the helm. You claim Watson "can't develop" players, he gets no credit for Martinez and the offense in the first 8 games of the year?
In college you have to be able to recruit talent, and then develop it, a little different than the NFL. If Watson does such a poor job of developing players and helping them understand the system, then why did Burkhead make an immediate impact in our offense? Why was Martinez able to step into the fold with very little experience and become what he was? How did we plug in a freshmen at LT and a first time starter at C and have one of the top rushing attacks in the nation until Martinez went down?
As far as part 2, :facepalm:
I really, really hate to say this but Dr. Tom just isn't the same as he use to be.
1. The 2008 offense really wasn't that good at all. Against good defenses where were they? Martinez is a natural talent, outside of his speed and elusiveness he has been an ok qb. There has not been the amount of development anyone should except considering the overwhelming amount of time Watson spends on him. Also a good reason where Cody Green hasn't looked good this year.
Burkhead has an amazing line to be behind and has always been a great running back. What has Martinez really become?
Alot of insiders say he won't even be the starter next year. What has the offensive been like against a good defense? Oh what fresmen is playing LT? And obviously you don't realize we get linemen that are top 5 in their postiion every year. You realized that Caputo has been playing since his redshirt freshman year and that he is has always been really good.
Ya facepalm yourself for thinking that everyone should see things as you do. Really where are you getting your insight? The internet? Since you can trust everything you read on it...
