Beck cost us this game

[Bowfin]

Fire Papuchis and move Beck to defensive coordinator. Before today, I didn't think any coach would be able to shut down the Nebraska running game. Beck did so with ease in the second half.

[3rd and long]

Okay, we lost a big game. And now HB will have about 40 threads spewing sh#t and calling for Bo's head, calling for Pap's head, calling for Beck's head. Is that really what we need right now? I think we need to realize that we are not a top ten team this year. Not even a top twenty team. But we do have a lot of great young talent. On both sides of the ball. Firing our coaches would set us back another half a decade. Didn't we learn that from the Callahan debacle? Do we really want to go through that again? Wouldn't it be easier to fix what we got?

 

I have to say NUance, I really admire your optimism, and it never wavered throughout the game.

 

But right now I don't think a wholesale coaching change would set us back. We do have a lot of talent. I think if someone came in and really simplied things while stressing fundamentals and discipline, they could be succesful right out of the gate.

Sad to say it because I like Bo, but you're right. I'd hire that new d-line coach back too....he seems to be coming along well with the new guys .

This is a good question, and I've never been on the fire Bo bandwagon before now. But I'm honestly just not sure about the answer at this point... CAN they turn it around? Honestly, we've been going backwards for several years now. How lost can you get before you have to change course?

 

I'm heading off the see Ohio State play Cal here in Berkeley. I have no love for Urban Meyer, but dude has yet to lose a single game with his new team. Just sayin'...

 

^THIS!

Give UCLA some credit. Their coaches made changes. That's the difference between a guy who had coached in the NFL for 25 years and our guy.

 

Bottom line: Nebraska will never again live up to our expectations until they hire coaches who can coach "in game."

 

Mora is an uber genius compared to Bo and Beck. I knew they would come out the second half with adjustments just like last year. What I didn't realize was the total meltdown by both the offense and defense in the second half. I blame the offense more. They were horrible.

 

I would trade Mora for Bo in a heartbeat. Why do we struggle so bad in picking good head coaches? Are we cheap? We need to spend some money and get some proven coaches here. We can succeed with good coaches.

IMHO, part of the problem is US. They know we'll hold their feet to the fire and Im sure its intimidated some coaches out of coming to Lincoln

[Guy Chamberlin]

The next poster who thinks the problem was Nebraska abandoning the running game should resign from all future football analysis. Seriously.

[HUSKER FREAK]

the bottom line, ucla had better players...end of story....nu has to recurit better, period, or maybe they cannot with the coaches we have.

 

I Do Not agree with this at all. They have some great athletes, no doubt, but that is not what lost us this game. I personally can't wait until T-mart is gone. He is a great athlete and probably a great kid, but he is not a game manager he makes bad choices hesitates to long, stops running and gets pile driven to the ground, his passes for what ever reason seem more off the mark this year than last. The receivers had some drops and balls they should have gotten, but man they have to work really hard all of the time just to make a catch on a very simple route. I think not making a change at some point should be on the coach's so Beck should feel uncomfortable and Pap should feel really really uncomfortable right now.

[Hayseed]

I'd trade for Wyoming's qb in a heartbeat....nuff said.

[It'sNotAFakeID]

Beck didn't cost us the game. The team cost us the game.

Abandoning WHAT running game?

#HIRESCOTT

Who?

 

Serious question.

Frost.

 

Oregon about to rip up an SEC team.

Gottscha. duh.

[Fuzzy]

Beck just needs to get his head out of his ass. Paps needs to be demoted back to defensive line coach or something, and hire someone who can teach our guys how to tackle in space instead of sliding off guys like they are covered in butter.

[Karawithasmile]

Im disgusted. and i have to agree finally. we get out coached by everyone. I just dont think Bo will fire anyone. Remember, he wouldnt trade his staff for anyone in the country.. lmao. His loyalty will be his undoing

 

I couldn't help but here an evil character cackle after that statement. But can't say I disagree.

[RedPhoenix]

Bench T-Ragic at halftime and we win.

[JTrain]

Our offense doesn't know what it is, can be, or wants to be. A melting pot of mediocrity. Great pieces of a puzzle with no one capable of putting it together to create a coherent picture.
