Not a well coached team

[upperdeck]

And I bet they knew when it was fourth down...Ridiculous post!

you dont everyone knew it was 4th down but the QB? it happens in the NFL too..

Don’t tell me my experiences are ridiculous. You don’t know me.

Your experiences are your own. I reacted to your making it seem okay that our 5th year senior QB didn’t know it was 4th down. And I quote, “ Rex has made What decisions in every game. He did great most of the game but it was due at some point. It came at the worse time.”

That part is ridiculous.

I dont expect you to agree if you havent coached teams/players where you've practiced situational football over and over again and tell kids exactly what to do and they do the opposite. Im not trying to be funny but Ive experienced that many of times. Some kids have no sense of situational football. Rex has made What decisions in every game. He did great most of the game but it was due at some point. It came at the worse time. Thats all.

This is a power 5 college football team. They didn't know how to handle the end of the game. They didn't know to down the ball on the punt when it was bouncing backwards. They didn't know not to call a fair catch on the kick after the safety when nobody was near him and he was within 2 steps of where we'd get the ball with a fair catch anyways. They didn't know to fair catch a punt that instead went and bounced inside our 10 yard line. They didn't know what to do on 2nd down after running the ball with no timeouts left on 1st. They didn't know it was 4th down so they couldn't spike it. You can argue with play calling all day, but from a football knowledge and awareness standpoint, it's not a well-coached team.

Okay...We won’t ever get better if we accept this attitude. But we can all have our own opinions.

It is both though. I get your point that kids freeze up in the situations even when properly coached. But I think the chances of us doing so is a lot higher given what happens the first 58 mins every game. The team in not well coached. We are constantly disorganized, confused, undisciplined on O. There is zero accountability. If we didn't have kids look totally lost game in and game out, then I would agree with your point. The fact that we are a cluster most plays and seem to be winging things makes the possibility for late game failure a lot higher.

I disagree, you can coach your kids to not make terrible decisions. Some of which are systematic - throwing the ball away.

Throwing the ball away before the sideline is universally known and im sure the staff tells every QB to do that. QB’s learned that in Pop Warner. I’m mad at the ending but Rex had opportunities to make basic instinctive decisions on the field. Everyone knows you don’t get tackled in that situation and im sure the sidelines was yelling” it’s 4th down “ if not, then the whole team has no football sense.

If it happens to every single QB that plays, how can you be sure? I am certainly not.

I hear you. So your thoughts is based on accumulation of years. Yes. We all see that and share the same frustration. My comment is based on that situation alone not my thoughts on Dino's whole tenure.

If the kids aren’t taking coaching then you get new kids or different coaches. Your team not taking coaching is bad coaching.

You really think D1 coaches tell kids to freeze and run out of bounds. Dino is bad at a lot of things but I dont agree with that. That's not something being taught brother. What would be the reason to teach that?

yes, agree.

Ehhh... I feel bad for Rex, no need for us to pound the young man . He didn’t mean it...it’s situational awareness...probably heard someone yell spike the ball...tough break for the team. There are lots of plays left on the field every game. it will be interesting to hear Dinos comments.

 

[RandomGuy]

On a positive note. We did rush for 3 yards.

I don't know about that. I don't think Troy Nunes was every cured of poor decisions. And we had a punter when Coach P was first head coach. He could boom the ball, but the coaches could never cure him of taking two steps before the kick. Of course, he never saw the field.

Rex is in good company...

 

[Scooch]

Lay off Rex. He simply should never have been the #2 QB on a P5 team. That he was is the fault of a HC who can’t recruit his way out of a wet paper bag, when it comes to QBs.

 

[JeffCuse]

Relax, guys.

It's just because of COVID.

This is a power 5 college football team. They didn't know how to handle the end of the game. They didn't know to down the ball on the punt when it was bouncing backwards. They didn't know not to call a fair catch on the kick after the safety when nobody was near him and he was within 2 steps of where we'd get the ball with a fair catch anyways. They didn't know to fair catch a punt that instead went and bounced inside our 10 yard line. They didn't know what to do on 2nd down after running the ball with no timeouts left on 1st. They didn't know it was 4th down so they couldn't spike it. You can argue with play calling all day, but from a football knowledge and awareness standpoint, it's not a well-coached team.

100 percent agree.

Yup never should have been put in this situation. The problem started years ago when we didnt recruit enough QB's. Summers adds fuel to the fire because he's currently occupying a scholarship. Our 2nd best QB is now at Bowling Green.

You can only make excuses for so long...

Agree, not well coached. My comments was based on the last drive though.

 

[crv1728]

Another ridiculous post.

This is just rude and unnecessary . You are attacking a great poster than many here look to for insights because of his experience. I suspect that you are venting your frustrations, but you are doing it in a bad way now

 

[Franz69]

It would be easier to excuse Rex not throwing the ball away as a one time thing if Tommy wasn't also doing it. That's just terrible coaching.
