UL QB Nixon is magnet for Cajuns, family

[Cajunfanatico]

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.

Damn dude, sorry if something I said offended you.

I can't explain Hud's decision-making process to start the season other than he'd lost a 3 year starting quarterback who obviously was the heart and soul of our previous team. Practice all you want, until these guys get game experience, I'm sure no one knows exactly how they're going to perform with live bullets being fired at them.

Hud obviously is partial to the type of offense we ran with Broadway and are running now with Nixon.

Beyond that, if you're not happy with his results, take it up with Farmer.

Have a nice one.

As opposed to always having a backup ready for an offense the staff has thus far been incapable of tweaking.

My optimal rating for reaching potential with the current game plan:
Both in the game, 100%
Nixon by himself, 75%
Haack by himself 65%
Both injured and out 45%

PS This isn't the same as blowing an engine.

I don't understand the thinking of We are going to bypass 100% productivity because we are afraid of the extremely small chance that we will have to operate at 45%

I wonder how many seasons were lost to history because the coaches willfully throttled back?

I know. Thought at the time that was crazy.

---The reason is what play they ran against K State when we played them!!

In his second start as a Cajun, quarterback Jalen Nixon did what several hurdles could not prevent

----For all you anti-Buckley guys out there, please read this article---What a fabulous piece with the help of Foote that they came up with in this story---the Indest part shows what abilities and drive the kid had as seen from his great HS coach---the Al Riles part hits the nail on the head with his comments----the family struggles and his handling of it strike a note of the courage of this guy---Probably nobody on here and certainly myself had any idea of his football smarts and leadership, but I did see something when he came on the field against Kentucky!!! I hope Haack hangs in there just like Nixon did and is ready on a moments notice to come in and lead us to victory!!!

Chill out. You weren't attacked. And if you're going to use Hud's "live bullets" routine then also understand that Texas State didn't fire any where near the caliber that Haack saw in his battles this year. I'm happy as a peacock for Nixon. Let's go out and win everything standing in front of us.

But if we're going to pretend we were injured and distracted as an excuse for our early season losses... that TB and last year's poor Tech game performance also didn't happen under this staff's guidance... and we somehow righted a ship against Texas State that "if we would have seen that production against Tech and Akron" is a sufficient excuse... we now have the TB replacement figured out and lollipops and unicorns are here to stay... I'm going to address that nonsense on here.

I'm talking to you and the other people that choose to read this site. I am not talking to Hud or Farmer on here... remember? Or am I?

Geaux Nixon! Help our coaching staff!

My thought was since we have a history of our QB going down almost every year for the last ten or so, it didn't make sense to risk such an irreplaceable back up on special teams or as a RB.

That is a point that can't be ignored.
