QB drives the train here. You can get many a recruit here based off who is handing the snap from center.

Don't disagree. But remember - we're talking decision making right? Only reason why Alex Henery has a 57 yard school record field goal? Cause Ganz took a HUGE sack on the previous play.

Urban Meyer. Cept he knows how to coach it.

Imagine this is Demornay.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYr5OLsZDps

Was suggested I put this in its own thread. Here's my take on this (and also on Coach Riley): Since when does a QB have to do this every play: I am sick of the newer, 'check with me' style of offense. It's the kind of offense you run with little 10 - 12 year old youth who are still learning how to play the game. Hell, it's not even how check-with-me originally worked. QB would have two or three plays. Guys would check with the QB at the LOC on what was being run. It was up to the QB to make the call. Today's 'check with me' doesn't do that. It handcuffs the thought process of a quarterback. It doesn't require discipline of a QB to know what he's seeing. He just goes out there, and reacts the way the coaches want him to - after looking to the sideline for help. How does that help him see the robber, or quarters coverage, or properly read a zone blitzing back who is about to blast him into next week? Simple. It doesn't. It makes simpletons of a game that is complex. You know why we have had QBs that have been so loose with the ball? Because they aren't being taught to read a defense. I'm not talking just about our guys - I'm talking about guys like a RGIII, or a guy like Johnny Football a/k/a the Money Badger. I like RGIII, but the skillset to read a D isn't there. Wasn't asked to do it in college - the coaches did it for him. In the pro game, you don't get that luxury. My father used to always say, "There are some old things that we do which make no sense to do, but there are some old things we do that make perfect sense to do." Can we please stop worrying about the current players and how they're going to adjust to the game? Armstrong is a quarterback. Stanton is a quarterback. Fyfe is a quarterback. Last I checked, the definition of a quarterback is to be the guy out on the field that puts players in the right position. Can we say our QBs have done that? If so, when was the last time we saw that? I know when (damn me for putting this out there).... No matter what anybody says - this dude was one of the most UNDERRATED QBs in school history, and in my opinion, the last guy who actually was a prototypical QB. Line up. Read the D. Audible if need be. Call out protections. Understand the game. That's the job of a QB, and it is what they will be asked to do by the new head coach. I applaud the guy and hope he does well.

Isn't that common for college football though? They're simply getting the play call from the sideline. The only other options I can think of would be running a guy in with the play or getting the play through a headset in the QB's helmet, which I don't know if many/any CFB teams do but I know NFL teams do. To answer your question, yes, it is. And that's why most of the QBs that run in this style of offense struggle to read where defenders are at. It's also why they struggle if they make it to the next level. For example: Prime example of a great QB reading the blitz and throwing hot. Notice how Brady adjusts the protection to his right? Prime example of a QB not reading the defense, not checking down, and throwing a pick six. Straight four man rush, mid to deep zones, Smith throws to a completely TRIPLE covered receiver. Pick six.

Same here, and speeding up the tempo on the field means absolutely squat if a QB can't be a true QB. I'll await the answer to my Tim Beck trivia question (with a linkie, if you who finds it doesn't mind). I've been looking for it non stop, but I can't seem to find anything about what position the guy played. KU wide receivers coach Tim Beck played collegiately at Central Florida as a quarterback, wide receiver and punter, from 1984-85... http://www.wibw.com/sports/headlines/9936487.html

That's what Ron Brown says he was. It's not listed on his profile on the same Huskers.com website. Why?

In fact, look up the playing career for these guys: Tim Beck. Good luck. John Papuchis. Let me help you. The guy NEVER PLAYED COLLEGE FOOTBALL. The two most polarizing coaches below the head coach. Now, neither George O'Leary (who lied about it to the Domers and got caught), nor Mike Leach played any college football. O'Leary coached two high schools (with an 82% winning percentage), then became the line coach at Syracuse. Leach - well, read the book. Dude coached in some absolute pits while taking care of a family AND getting a law degree. Those guys have PROVEN results of coaching. In my opinion, they've paid their dues. That comment of, "Guys will be experienced in the position they're coaching" from Coach Riley means something to those who weren't paying attention......

The Holiday Bowl against USC. Beck went to a quick huddle, dispensed with the sideline gazing, and Armstrong and Co. cranked out 94 plays. I figured Beck's name would come up. Got me to thinking.... What position did Beck play in college? I know it says he went to UCF and played 84-85. What position?

There's another history. When Riley got to San Diego, Harbaugh was on the roster there.

I said this yesterday in another thread and got torched. I agree 100%. He needs another year. I can't blame him though. If he really is a top pick, then he should go. I thought there was a rookie cap starting this year, but I really don't know how that impacts him. This would be the year for him to go, but I think after the year he's had with injuries, he'd do good to go to a team that is going to let him heal up and learn at the same time. Also, you have to understand that he was getting cut blocked all season long, as well as double teamed.

The reason for the departure of the 42-year-old Langsdorf is unclear, especially since he's returning to essentially the same job he left a year ago, just at a different place. My guess is he doesnt like working for that meany Tom Coughlin. We will likely pay him more than what he is making now and it will be a lower stress environment than NY. Easy decision. I just hope he isnt here to collect a pay check. Uh.... You do the math.

Don't have a full gif. But true story....I was in church at the time that Bo was fired. Our drummer came to me and said, "Hey, Deac - you know that Bo Pelini was fired, right?" I said, "Shut up, really?" Here is what ensued (yes, I am African American, and no, this isn't my church...LOLZ)

2014 - Eli Manning's Stats: 379-601-30-14, 4,410 yards, 63.1% passing. Obviously, he had ODBJR to throw to, and the guy catches anything remotely in his area. 2002 - 2004 - Saints - Aaron Brooks' Stats: 283-528-27-15, 3,572 yards, 53.6% passing. 306-508-24-8, 3,546 yards, 59.1% passing. 309-542-21-16, 3,810 yards, 57.0% passing. He's not a miracle worker, folks. However, there is one glaring thing that would bring him here (other than Coach Riley):

I didn't see anything in the rulebook yet about being able to declare eligibility. I remember that in HS coaches said that you should declare eligibility to the official but that it wasn't required ( i think, that was a long time ago) Well...I think that Lewis could've reported as eligible, however it really was a trick play. It was meant to be a lateral and Armstrong or Lewis just didn't quite make it obvious enough. So regardless, it wasn't schematically supposed to be a pass anyways. In college football, there are no tackle eligible plays if the player is using the incorrect number. Therefore, him reporting eligible wouldn't have mattered.

I can imagine how that conversation went (JM, RK, CW, BC): RK: "JOSH!! WHY THE HELL WEREN'T YOU LINED UP PROPERLY ON THAT MIDDLE BLOCK?!?" JM: "Coach Kaz, stop yelling at me. #iknowyoudidn't" RK: "MITCHELL, PUT THAT @#$@#$@#$ PHONE AWAY AND STOP WITH THE TWEETING!!! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!" JM: "#helpmecoachwarren" CW: "Coach Kaz, can we calm down? It's just a simple special teams..." RK: "YOU SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE! YOU'RE STAYING, I HAVE TO GO FIND ANOTHER JOB, A**HOLE!" CW: "lemme tell you something....I'm gonna bust your..." JM: "#lordhavemercy" BC: "You guys need to calm the hell down! How is this gonna look to the folks at UNLV for me?!? Now shake hands and make up!" CW: "I ain't shaking his hand. In fact, I'm taking his office after the game. You'd better get your red streamline stapler, you joke." RK: "@#$@#!#$@#$" JM: "#handshakefistbump2Kaz"

LOL - the voice just sounds too funny on this one...

Damn, that's a lot of caaash.

he was being judged plenty harshly after the A&M game. it continued for some time (da'skers). the odd thing is it was ok - even "trendy" - on this board to critisize Perlman and the "administration" in regards to the football program, right up until about....last week. now all of a sudden any suggestion that there is a connection between Perlman and the football program is rubbish. I don't know about that. There are always posters criticizing perlman but most don't really understand his role in the university. Perhaps some are starting to understand the work he has done for the school as a whole. Name me 10 other college presidents that people know by name, other than Perlman and Gordon Gee. Can't? Cause they're less involved than most are. And they stay the hell out of the way. Is Perlman a problem? Probably - but again, if he gets the right guy in here, eventually, most will say, "Damn, he's a genius!"

Wow. I'm sorry Bo felt so under siege he responded in this way. If the players bought any of this garbage, the incoming staff has a lot of work to do. It's too bad that such a coaching talent as Pelini is, lacks so much in the "getting it" department. I compare this to the parting message and advice Muschamp had for his players. Look, not all coaching hires are going to make it big. But if you fail and get fired as a result, that's the way to go out -- having left a positive imprint on the team. Bo's now 2/2 in attempts to poison the well on his way out of Lincoln. Don't come back. I feel bad for his wife and especially his daughters. If they hear that tape, and the words, &*ssy and c&*t, I can't imagine how they would feel about that. If my husband, brother or dad used those words, I would be shocked and gravely disappointed. Sadly, I think we heard the real Bo. He didn't know he was being taped and just shared his heart. I feel sorry for him because I believe he is a sick man. I do not think he should even be coaching young men when he needs to grow up himself. I sure wish him and his family well. His family doesn't deserve the wrath that Bo's behaviors have brought on the negative repercussions and publicity Bo is getting. As a father of two daughters, and a husband, I'd never use those words PERSONALLY to disparage anyone, male or female. Those words just aren't in my vocab library (nor in my six shooter of profanity). And I agree that if his job is to mold the minds of young men, he's doing a bang up job on that one. But let's be real - the disparaging of women isn't coming just out the mouth of the former head football coach. Look at this commercial... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sGWCfDDXGE Or this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMhGSOk1mb4 It's a societal issue at this point. He's just not taking the proper stand on it. But, all of that being said - he's a former defensive coordinator and a head coach. He's gonna have language saltier than the normal person.

Do you think he would say anything different if it was actually true though? Tom was supposed to be around for a couple years originally. He ended up there for what...4 or 5? I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't given a little shove towards the end...and frankly I don't have much of a problem w/ that if it happened. This whole idea that Tom is some divine Nebraskan, is BS. He was a great coach. Everything else since then has been judged completely based on that success. Tom Osborne routinely told us that Saturday's game against Mother Mary the Blessed Southwest Tech was going to be "tough" and "they're a really good football team." And then we'd beat them 63-7. So the idea that Tom would exaggerate the truth or somehow stretch the truth to make his point isn't completely unbelievable. However, that he might be stretching the truth in this instance isn't a good enough reason to ignore his words. It lends itself to tinfoil hats and bogeymen. Tis' coach speak, my friend.
