MR is too busy putting up with the whiney fans to have time to be off cord. Besides i'm betting he's working at being a QB coach. he only has 25yrs exp with that. If TL wants to learn, he has a master teaching! TA had the same chance but refused to learn! Edited October 1, 2017 by chainsaw needed to edit! Quote Link to comment
Vitalis Jackson Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 This message board exists in its own little universe, and Riley will not be fired. Sorry, Pelini fans. Quote Link to comment

A good team is going to take advantage of it. There was at least 1 play on a 3rd down where our DB basically sprinted back 12 yards away from the WR and then Illinois snapped the ball and the QB immediately threw it right to him and he got the 1st down. It's baffling that we do this. 3 Quote Link to comment

Right, and Diaco will be holding his stupid ass Civil ConFLiCT trophy that Frost left on the field after UCF beat them. link: https://deadspin.com/ucf-beats-uconn-in-forced-rivalry-game-leaves-dumb-tro-1788119816 Quote Link to comment

On another note, say the D improves tremendously, we are competitive here on out, but still lose several games by very narrow margins. The D is solid and the losses are again poor OL play, clock management and DL play calling. Would the new AD perhaps offer Diaco the HC? Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Some people just aren't meant to be head coaches, either. Diaco may be perfectly content staying as a coordinator. Quote Link to comment

I agree on the coverage. We try that against the likes of OSU and PSU it will get real ugly real quick. Jackson, in particular, at 6'3/210lbs should easily be physical enough to jam guys at the line. I'd rather play physical and try to disrupt the receivers than get burned deep, allow the easy underneath routes and get the PI..... Uconn hurts him for sure. Just threw it out. If he turns the D around, might be worth a look at DC. IMO, if he turns things around, he won't be the DC for too long. Use it as a stepping stone as a HC somewhere. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Diaco's trophy thing was dumb. But why does everyone just assume it would be a deal-breaker for Frosty? 2 Quote Link to comment

I have been a really bad football coach for a lot of years and I have used both philosophies. They both work and they both don't work. Usually it depends on the players you have. This year, we press and get so physical at the LOS and it works for us. We actually had a DB jump offsides this year because they were so amped up to jam the WR...we also bring a lot of pressure. It has been working. But the bend-D works too. It really just depends. Quote Link to comment
