I don't know why were pissed at the OC. Between false starts and turnovers half the plays he has called haven't even been run.

 

Everyone agreed Ruhle would need time, but nope we "fans' deserve better. Um, you don't deserve anything. 

I guess message boards are what they are, a place to vent. But people, I think this staff deserves a chance to succeed before we sick the dogs on the whole staff and start over again.  

It's hard for me to hate on the OC when the QB is terrible, and the line is bad as well.

Not so fast.  I don't think Casey would have been much better or been able to stay upright through either of these games.

We'll agree to disagree.  Casey is a much better QB than Simms.  Even with a bad line, I think UNL is probably 2-0 with Casey back there.

There's an entire season left to play. Rhule has a solid defense in place, and if you put a QB in who doesn't turn it over 3 times a game were in the hunt for the West.

That QB isn't on the roster.  That QB walked when Rhule wouldn't make him QB1.

People said the same thing with Riley and Frost. "This is a rebuild, wait until their second year."

Then in their second year onward, they would lose to first-year head coaches.

Riley went 9-4 his second year.

I'm ready for Colorado to have a wake up loss just to quiet the hype. They aren't winning a Natty this year. 

 

Offensive line is also done. 

They've played two bad teams.  They'll get a wake up call in conference play.

Rhule got out-coached today.

He got outcoached by Deion in the off-season.  Deion used the transfer portal to make his team better.  Rhule brought us Simms.

Eventually we will have a breakout game. It's only a matter of time. I have faith in our new staff and I have faith in the coaching. Eventually players will put it together and they will produce a win. This might be the game or this might not. But eventually it will happen. As a fan, I will always hope it's this game.

Still feeling this way?

Yeah, bringing in Simms shows me something and it's not good.

Matt Rhule is a great coach; you all just have to understand how bad Jeff Sims is. He is a coach killer… he looks amazing in practice; but absolute dog piss during the game.

 

No offense to you all, but every Tech fan is enjoying every one of his turnovers

I sincerely doubt he looks amazing in practice.  He looks like me throwing left handed and I'm not a lefty.

I know each of these HT guys have to have a certain topic to talk about but the Buffs D didn't cause any turnover. 

I thought that was funny.  Colorado's D hasn't done a thing.  They're playing against a O with no talent and a QB who should be at a NAIA school.

If Sims starts the second half, Rhule is officially a dumbass

Chasing Thompson out of town already cemented that.  

After watching the first half, it's now verified that TCU stinks.  After watching last week's game, that was my thought and it's been verified.  

Simms is terrible which I already knew.  I have no idea what fans saw in him in the off-season.  His noodle arm and bad decisions have been there all along.  Why Rhule didn't tell Thompson he'd start is a complete mystery.  With Thompson at the helm, we would have won last week and be up in this game right now.  

Our D is playing tough for the second week in a row.  That's a welcome change.  They deserve better.

I guess he changed his mind.  I read he wanted to be a graduate assistant next year and begin his coaching career.  

Well, all we can do is hope for the best.  The most important thing is a HUGE infusion of talent.

Eh ... Riley took a 9-win program and turned it into a 4-win program.  Frost took a 4-win program and turned it into a 3-win program.  Both are bad but Riley took it down way more than Frost did.

Eh, Riley had 9 wins, but the boosters wanted Diaco as DC.  Diaco's god awful defense was the reason for 3 wins.  The only thing Riley did wrong was he quit recruiting when he saw the writing on the wall.

You really think Kiffin is complaining in public for anything other than a raise, to get more resources, and to stand up for his players? He's politicking. Ole Miss had NIL before it even legally existed. 

 

Tear this thing down, people. What are you trying to save?

 

Roll the dice on Deion or Jamey Chadwell. I loved Matt Campbell in the beginning but this is bad, folks. Really bad. Need someone to grow with this dead program. 

Yep.  The NIL used to be known as a BRIBE.

What would he do with this team? What could he do with this team? I think the answer is not much better than what we see every week. It's awful. Look at the teams we make fun of...Kansas, Illinois, even Minnesota. They are improving and we are going backwards in a freefall. That can't simply be coaching. It's systemic in my opinion. Our entire program is a shambles.

This is a complete rebuild.  You have to give the job to a great recruiter who will bring guys in and give that coach time.  The current guys can't be fixed.  The complete lack of talent is shocking.

This game was the worst of the day, boring, unwatchable. Sad for fans that pack the stadium.

Mickey took a hit today. He didn’t really get anything out of the team. Looked like a Frost coached team. 
The hate on Whipple is too much IMO, not sure any OC can shine this turd with the worst OL in P5.

The in game thread wanted to run the ball but there was no where for Grant to run as our OL is awful.

This offense is most effective moving CT out of the pocket to try to make throws. Yes that sucks but that is all we have!

We have no backup QB. To see a backup at Kansas ball out vs what we have is disheartening.

The defense continues to suck. The DL is slow and stiff, no athleticism or agility maybe outside of Nelson, on either line.

The LBs are the slowest in the B1G. 
Newsome is a bright spot on a mediocre secondary but the front 7 gives the secondary no help, the front 7 to me is more of the problem than a worn out secondary having to cover and tackle in space because the front 7 rarely gets pressure or gets the ball carrier down at first contact.

 

This is a burn it down rebuild. It better be a serious P5 experienced coach or Deion. Deion will be a P5 coach and it could be Auburn here soon. The laughing can stop because currently we are the laughingstock. We need someone that can get top players here and then develop them into elite players. Deion checks the first box better than most, developing players and competing in the  B1G is the question. We need to get the best coach and staff to meet this requirement. Anything short of this is a complete failure.

Your third line is exactly what I came to post.  You can't blame Whipple because it's impossible to shine a turd.  These are Scott Frost's turds.  It doesn't matter what you call when the defense is in your backfield before the ball is handed off.  The O-linemen need to take snaps.  Start with Corcoran.  Maybe getting nailed a few times will turn their brains on.  

What I learned today is the O-line is even worse than I thought.  They constantly watch guys run by and around them.  I wonder how many times Thompson hears, "Look out" during a game?  That guy is a lot better than he's able to show because it's him against the other team's front 7.  The line offers no resistance.  

Victory formation!!

Not sure I buy that, Riley made a lot of questionable decisions and caused a massive talent departure the longer he stayed. Doesn't mean Frost was better, but Riley was not a good coach in any stretch... took our program backwards... Frost just continued with it. 

Riley didn't take the program backwards.  He had the team taken away from him after his second season when the boosters forced Bob Diaco onto the staff.  Riley gave up knowing he would get blamed for Diaco's joke of a defense.  I'm not okay with him giving up, but I understand it.

The only thing that stopped Adrian here was our crappy oline. A lot of us pointed that out over and over and got the stupid laughy face in response. Adrian was never our problem the oline was and continues to be. 

Think of how many times he had to jump just to catch a snap.  It was beyond ridiculous.  

Just now, lo country said:

Love seeing Adrian having fun. Beating a ranked team.  Getting a signature win.  Hopefully a bowl.  And getting coaching.....

Yep.  Nice kid.  We couldn't even get him a guy who could snap the ball correctly.  

KSU has a transfer QB who looks pretty good.  If we could get a kid like this with a serviceable line and a few receivers, we could be onto something.  Add an average defense and special teams and we could compete in the West  

Welp, I have some caulking and painting to do.  Have a good day, gentlemen and gentleladies.

If Pelini was as good Of a coach as his backers say he was, why didn’t he end up as a head coach other than Youngstown State?

Better yet, where is he now?
