It's just that, for the past three years I've been like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football: This is the year, I tell you. This is the year! 2 3 Quote Link to comment

No one on Offense sticking around after COVID (e.g. Farniok, Jaimes, Stoll, etc..). How good would we feel about the D if Farmer, NPG, Payne and Rogers were starting instead of Deonti Wlliams, Dismuke, Stille and JoJo? Honestly, I would still feel pretty good if the super seniors didn't decide to come back. JoJo is one exception where he is a stud and would be missed. Stille is solid but has replaceable production. Farmer has more INTs in starting only a single half than Dismuke has in his career (0 picks in five years) and tied with Williams for his career (2 picks in 2018). Clark, NPG and Farmer appear to be a formidable group to replace Dismuke & Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment

Williams especially. 1 Quote Link to comment

Nebfanatic Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I still have a battered shield in my closet from fighting off the Chinander angry mob. Said from the beginning he has done nothing but steadily improve the D. Glad to see the narrative change. 7 1 Quote Link to comment
All Hail Herbie Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Interestingly enough, Coach Chinander is the one staff member that I think is underrated to date in his performance. The expectations were lower, but I have seen steady improvement from his unit. He also does not seem to be one prone to hyperbole like his offensive counterparts. Perhaps someone will correct me with a quote where he said Big Ten offensive's would need to adjust to him. This year should be a good year for him, despite the team's overall record and offensive performance. Yes, I am one that does not see a great leap forward offensively (despite the rosy Spring reports). 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Your right, the quote was much more nuanced. I would also be the first one to cheerlead more of these proclamations, if of course we were having some success. Hard to believe, but this quote is now 3 1/2 years old. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hard to believe, but this quote is now 3 1/2 years old. And it wasn't like he just came out and said that. It was in response to a question about how he'd have to adjust to the B1G. So he was playing off the question, not just thumping his chest and bragging. 6 1 Quote Link to comment

So in fairness to my original comment, I was merely complimenting Coach Chinander by contrasting his work with other's talk (whether solicited or unsolicited). Coach Frost may say whatever he wants for $5 million a year. Of course, supporting those comments with wins would help his case... Quote Link to comment
