Midseason Analysis

Or the QB could back people out of the box and McGuire could have some space.

Unfortunately that QB hasn't been recruited here at this point.

Haack is that QB. He never was given a chance.

A couple of well placed quick slants over the middle would soften that up.

Amen.

Why couldn't he do it vs Akron? Every other team has thrown well against them.

He had a total of 17 passes and still had a higher QBR than Nixon. Haack also rushed for more yards against Akron than Nixon did.

Haack was set up to fail.

I truly hope he gets another shot. I'm just not sure he's all you think he is.

That stat about the QBR isn't accurate by the way.

It was for the Akron game. He won't get another shot. ____ poor QB play cost us a W last night and Haack never even warmed up.

Haack was the better QB going into the spring. Hud and his staff had ample time to come up with an offensive gameplan to highlight his strengths. They chose not to. They chose to shove Haack into a scheme that only Nixon could run half ___. They ____ed Haack. Plain and simple. No black and white in this situation. Our head coach torpedoed a player he recruited because he didn't get the end result he wanted. I hope his ego is worth $1,000,000 a year...cause his coaching sure as ____ isn't.

People seem to be mixing up talent and fundamentals. Talent is speed-raw and "football speed", eye hand coordination, "hands", etc. Fundamentals is correct tackling form, correct coverage technique, correct blocking and rushing techniques, etc. We have guys who demonstrated enough "talent" to be considered 2-3 star athletes. At our level, that is enough "talent" to win. On top of that we have a RB who has the "talent" to play perhaps in the NFL. You are not seeing a talent problem, you are seeing a lack of fundamental (blocking and tackling) coaching, a simplistic, unimaginative offensive scheme being run by a RB at quarterback, and a defensive staff that takes half a game to figure out what to do. Put all that together and you see what you see. We had plenty of "talent" Bustle's last year and won like 3 games. Hud came in and coached them up and won a bowl. I'm not sure why our coaching effectiveness has dropped off so significantly, but it has.
