We need to get the running game going to open out PA pass

Haarbarg with the grab!!! 

Simms runs a great zone read!

Would love to see us get off tackle instead of forcing out RB to run in traffic all game

I have never seen so many commercials

Also take a look at his IG shared note! Sometimes people try to create fire when there is no smoke

One of my sons friends committed to Texas Tech this week! Said they are going to have some big Texas commits this week at Tech! Hope he isn’t one!!!

Have chatted a lil with him and he said that he believes he is done taking visits and he cannot wait to get to Lincoln!

I am not hating on Williams. That’s great he has his specialty and he’s succeeding with it.  My point is that his type of “specialty skills coaching” is rarely used as college position coaches (within the full-time assistant staff). 

I’m m confused, so he didn’t do the same exact thing when he was coaching at Nebraska? If he didn’t then I apologize, but I am pretty sure this is what WR coaches do at every level.

I guarantee you one thing, he will give 110% while doing his job.  He will also have LOTS of help growing into his role.

I believe that he will come in fired up as well, just like the rest of the staff! This is one of the things I have loved about the staff is their young energy.

Thanks for that clarification. What are his main responsibilities in that role?  I think he helps their WR’s with route running and pass catching techniques. So he’s basically a WR consultant.  Tee Martin is the real WR coach, who helps with game planning and communication with the OC and head coach. 

I find it funny how people hate on every coach when they are no longer here. This is what Harbaugh said about Williams and his role “Williams isn’t coordinating that aspect of the offense (pass game). He’ll focus on his specialty - route running. ‘He has a specific lane, precision and fundamentals, the way receivers run routes, get off the ball, beat press coverage’, Harbaugh said”

Shocked the Ravens hired a former QB as their WR coach.

No big deal.

 

More than likely we will never hear about his coach again.  

Let’s hope not , that would mean he is doing his job!

But Williams isn’t a WR coach for a football team. He’s a WR training consultant. 

He is the passing game specialist, which is a full time job on the staff not just a consultant

College football?

Anyway, you are mad, that is awesome.  More than likely, this hire will not be a big deal either way.  But, to make you feel better I will agree with you that it will lead to the total destruction of Husker football.

Definitely not mad bro, just enjoy talking about football, sorry if I came off that way.

He’s not the WR coach. 
 

 

I never said that he is a WR coach, he said he was an out of work coach, I merely stated he was still a coach. Also I never said that he wouldn’t be successful. I said this was the only head scratcher to me. He may very well be successful just like his dad was when he started coaching at Baylor, I hope that’s the case

Athletic development in college comes from the S&C group. The coaches help in development by getting the players to be successful on the field. This is done by understanding responsibilities on each  play, reading/playing against the opponent across from you, along with techniques which can help during game play.

Over the past few years, I would say Ohio State has had the best WR’s in college football. I have no idea who their WR coach is, and I think it’s fair to say that 99% of college football fans don’t know who their WR coach is. 

Lol call up Tyreek hill and Davante Adama and tell them he is just an athletic development coach and not a WR coach and see what they say. They have openly talked about his coaching and what it has meant to the players they are today. Also players on the ravens have said the same thing

I mean...you named an out of work coach...an out of work coach...and a DL coach.

 

With that said you might be totally right and it might be a horrible hire.  I once again, agree with you.

 

Don you really think Keith Williams is no longer coaching in football??? At least do a Google search before making statements. Also look at his Twitter and IG you will see how many big name receivers work with him every off season!

What I keep thinking back to is there is a reason why players work outside their programs with coaches like Keith Williams because he knows everything about the position. Players love playing for MJ because he knows more than EDD drills. It’s the same reason why Larry Johnson is considered one of the best recruiters, because he knows how to coach defensive lineman and knows the position inside and out.

Just now, BigRedBuster said:

Sooo…..we have gone from “we drastically need great assistants here because we haven’t developed talent like we should…..to…..”well, anyone can coach any position as long as they can communicate the play”

Yea because every program does every day drills that are the same and doesn’t need knowing the position, and it’s not fair to hire coaches that know other coaches or have daddies that are coaches.

I do...

 

All the drills are pretty much the same and all totally available for anyone to use. 

 

I guess I might change it to this...

 

98% is done

1% is connecting and recruiting

1% is breaking down film (this is the hardest part,  I think)

 

but anyone on the site could go and 'coach" WR's, assuming you just know the basics of FB.

 

I guess my question to you would be what does "coaching up" mean?  Because every CFB team is running the same WR practice drills. 

Also how do you break down film on what exactly players are doing right and wrong if you don’t know the position. I agree that head coaches and other senior coaches on the staff are going to put young coaches under their wing to help.

Okay before I answer coaching up, I would like you to show me proof that EVERY school is running the SAME drills.

College position coaches are mainly asked to communicate what the OC wants to do on offense to each of the position groups. That’s their main job, and it most of their job. Yes, there are position drills, but those don’t vary a lot from team to team. 

I agree that some drills are similar from program to program, but you will see that some of the most successful position coaches know and understand the position, and are able to correct bad form ie) dropping your hips coming back to the ball or or how to get out of your route. If someone is a track stud that is going to be used to play receiver and is very raw, I would like a coach that knows how to coach and not just say this is the  drill I read in a book

“Being around great minds” is the excuse that is used. There are so many qualified coaches out there, who don’t get the same opportunities because they aren’t related to someone who’s been in the game for decades prior.

Well I am seeing so many of those that are around great minds that are successful. Maybe they should have to prove that they interviewed a female that doesn’t know a coach that is a different religion and color to make you happy.

It doesn’t bother me that Rhule hired Joey McGuire’s son for NU. I just generally don’t like how college and NFL football coaching is inundated with nepotism hires. It makes it challenging for guys to get into coaching and be successful. 

These hires are done because they have been around great minds that understand the game. There have to be relationships that are created in order to have trust and credibility. If people want to get into the coaching game start at middle school and work your way up, or play at a high level and create a relationship with your coach…

99% of position coaching is already pre-made for coaches.

 

The other 1% is connecting with kids and recruiting.  

Do you really believe this? I mean at least say 85% or something, but come on college kids need to be coached up and connecting with kids comes with winning and knowing your craft

Eh, trust Rhule. The past 20 years have been filled with hires people thought would work out well and things have only gotten worse here. I like the unorthodox approach.
 

Teams across the country are winning with no name, young coaches, and big programs  are getting killed with their can’t lose, big name hires. No one on this board knows any better than the man that was just hired to restore some sort of order and respect in this program. Go cry in your chili. I’m enjoying the process this time around. 

I agree with you that there are young coaches doing things that you and I can’t do, but we are not being paid to do that so we can complain and question it’s what Fans do. I will say he has been good at picking individuals in the past that people questioned. Also I won’t waste chili by crying in it but thanks for the advice!
