Right...had nothing to do with the idiotic special teams coaching.
Why wasnt Schouse punting?
Because our HC is determined to let the other guy punt. He knows he can't punt, then he chews him out for punting bad.
ST was bad, but it was probably a draw this game... so was theirs.
Scared of their returner... preferred rugby style to prevent returns.
I hope we never ever ever see those types of punts again. He does not need to be punting!
So he chooses to use a guy who is bad at rugby punts and then proceeds to try a traditional punt (to fool them?) for 20 yards at THE most crucial point of the game.
When will you ever be willing to admit the HCSH is THE worst at on the fly decisions of special teams and usage of time outs? He is not a bad coach over all, but his clock management and special teams have been proven over and over and over to be horrible at best.
Holtz is a micromanager. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but that's who he is. I wish he would realize his limitations and let others coach ST and/or Defense.
We should kick the ball out of bounds every time we kick off.
We should never punt unless we're pinned inside our own 20.
We should blitz at least one player on every play when on defense.
We should give Scott more carries.
And we should hire a competent DC and special teams coach this off season.
We need an aggressive pentrating D. When we play base our DL catches and doesn't get off blocks. This D is as bad or worse than 2012. Baker needs to change or be fired.
So you want to fire HCSH?
2012 was on our job hunting HC and his sockless sidekick. You think we should have fired them and now we should fire HCSH? He will not change his boy Baker. Baker does what HCSH tells him to do.
Amazing that some of you believe HCSH is not calling the horrible BS.
I'm watching Monday night football with the Colts taking on the Jets and I swear that Baker is coaching the Jets defense! Looks exactly like Tech. Gruden is going crazy.
I can't admit that because I don't follow all the other coaches. I don't think playing McPherson was an on the fly decision. I bet he planned on that all week. THAT would be a flaw I see in Skip.... he overthinks things. Just punt the ball!. But as far as clock management, he has some very good moments as well as bad ones. How many times have you seen him call timeouts with a minute or two left in the half when we were on defense so he could get the ball back and try to score before the half was over... and pull it off? A bunch! I'm like, "Really, you think you are going to get the ball back and score?" And he does it.
I can admit that I suck at evaluating coaches though. I don't pay it much mind at all. I'm much more interested in the execution of the play than the play that's called. I think execution is where games are won and lost. Hindsight is always 20/20 on a play call or coaching decision that turned out bad, but credit always goes to the player when it turns out good. The difference in a play call that goes for -2 yards and the same play call that goes for 98, is execution by the players. The difference in a punt that goes off the side of a foot for 18 yards and one that goes 65 yards is execution. I don't say, "Darn you coach, you knew that guy was going to kick it off the side of his foot!" I say, "Darn, what an unfortunate time for the punter to miss-kick the ball." We are seeing the same things, I just spread responsibility around, where you seem to focus it on 1 guy messing everything up for everybody.
Not really wanting to argue, just pointing out that I don't see things like most here do and we will probably never see the same game regardless of who our coach is because I don't watch games that way.
