If he said that, he's gone full Jim Haslett. Totally oblivious. He's off the reservation.

yep

Haack played very well. I have noticed that he cannot make more than one read. In this day and age...with the NFL being such a pass happy league...there is no excuse for a Junior quarterback (who isn't a running back) to be unable to make more than one read. If it's ability...it's Jordan Davis time. If it's coaching...they need to ask somebody who knows how to coach it. Haack also needs to get better with the clock in his head. He had time on several throws that he rushed, and hesitated on throws that should have been out of his hand in half the time. If he was a sophomore I would be psyched. But it's week ____ing 9 in his junior year. He either cannot cut the mustard, or the coaches have failed him miserably.

Hud's refusal to acknowledge that Haack is our QB, and that Davis needs to be our backup QB and Nixon needs to be a RB is at the heart of our offensive woes. There are other issues, to be sure, but if we had built our offense [starting in the spring] around Haack's skill set, and used Davis, Nixon, Eli, Riles, Robinson, Fuse, Scott and Haynes appropriately, we would be MUCH better than we are now.

Hud was hired as an up and comer young coach. Now in the 5th year, the luster has quickly worn off. And he is no longer a young coach. Either Hud finds lightening in a bottle next year or he is our Larry Blankney. Oh, the excuse of the NCAA sanctions will be used, but this floater in the punch bowl was laid before those come into play.

And no, not giving up my tickets. I have no problem if we lose and go down fighting. I have a problem with losing and playing like a hot mess.

The warning signs were there.

He kept playing TB when Gauthier became healthy.

He forced Nixon into the QB mix in the middle of last season instead of grooming Haack and begin to design a plan around him for this season.

Currently, he is either willfully or ignorantly blind to the fact that his offensive scheme does not match the talent on the field, and he insists on continuing with the charade of Nixon at QB for reasons that can only be known to him.

Noticed this as well and mentioned it last night. Haack has a great arm and is very accurate but quickly locks on to his primary receiver and tends to force the ball even when the receiver is not open and that may have to do with the lack of time he usually has. I too agree that it's time to at least see what Jordan Davis can do with meaningful snaps early in a football game. At this point it's time to plan for next year.

If someone can watch that game last night and not come to the conclusion that we should be spreading the field as much as possible, and throwing the ball at least half of the time with Haack, they are either ignorant or deliberately obtuse.

To his defense, in 2012 TB was playing the best football he ever played for us. Would have been pointless to bench him for Blaine.

In the scheme we run, if you can call it that, there is usually only one read to make. Our problem is not really at QB OR receiver. It is at coach.

Yes bc we don't have an o-line. Haack should be throwing 40 times a game.

He made some reads last night, but he can't sit in the pocket like he wants to because our OL can not hold blocks for longer than 1 or 2 seconds.

Spread the field. Quick pitches. Take a few shots downfield when you can.

So the other 2 receivers don't run routes that are meant to get them open?

I've noticed that Hud gets fixated on "his" guys. It's how Octravian Anderson has started for us for so long. It's why we have a goofy special teams return rotation instead of giving it to one person. It's why we have a QB problem. He just needs to get out of his own way. He pays assistant coaches for a reason.
