UL QB Nixon is magnet for Cajuns, family

[CajunEXPRESS]

That coach doesn't have faith in Haack is clear. He is bolstering his unhappy choice.

I wouldn't want the coach to be honest in his public comments.

It had nothing to do with the QB choice. Haack would have shined against Texas State too. Did Jamal finally catching difficult catches, as opposed to dropping easy catches, have anything to do with that game? It's absurd to discuss QB play in drastically different game complexities. I don't care what coaches say in public. I don't listen to them anyway. But how they operate the program tells me a lot about how smart they are. I like smart coaches. I can't help it.

Can't see using your back up QB elsewhere. Injuries?

Nixon played special teams as a backup QB

[CajunRed]

I know. Thought at the time that was crazy.

Because it was.

In my opinion this is the Offense that Hud wants to run and to be frank Nixon matches up with this Offense better......I thought we would tweak our Offense to fit Haack better but we never did......we now sink or swim with what we have.....I vote we swim....As for Brooks Haack....why in the Hell did we recruit a 3 star QB from one of the elite High School programs in the State of Texas if we were not going to fit the Offense to his talents?

Is it not possible that that rash of pre-season injuries to our WR corps changed the entire complextion of our abilities and weapons on offense as it relates to Haack? I will agree that Hud is most comfortable with the offense currently installed and that Nixon fits that offense the best.

Where he would no doubt have succeeded as well.

I am more concerned long term with Jay Johnson's inability or unwillingness to design an offense around Haack.

He won't always have a Nixon waiting in the wings.

Thankfully JJ had a Nixon he could insert into his offense.

----T-Bine he has 2---Davis and Ray---Hope they can stay around and wait their turn!!!

Then why did Hud pick Haack over Nixon from the onset. Basinbear is right. We should have tweaked this offense around a bigger passing threat. And how did Jamal come in with 6 layers of rust? Why was our OL atrocious against Akron and Tech? Why did Hud say otherwise? Is he dense? We've never had good pass protection with Hud here. We've been entirely dependent on an athletic QB to run around for his life. We sure as hell haven't done that to other teams. It isn't "talent". It's coaching. Sure we'd love to have dominating talent. Geez, I could coach dominating talent to victory. We aren't ever going to have greater talent than everyone we have to play. To overcome our status, we have to have exceptional coaching. I don't see it on offense at all. We started to install a decent defensive package, and it's starting to look like we're back to a prevent scheme instead of an attack and disrupt scheme.

Hud needs to stop tugging so hard on that rope and use his head to set up a pulley system. Brute force is great. But combine it with intelligence and a new world opens up.

I will reserve judgement on this....starting against the 128th ranked Defense in FBS Football ain't exactly a real test....it is a good start though...

Ditto.
