Narduzzi in talks to become Pitt HC

No. The first thing I do is go to my Snickers closet.

THEN I read MGoBlog.

But don't make claims, stand by those claims, flame other posters, when you're wrong and ignorant.

Yeah, I know a bit about the MSU coaching staff, as I do most B1G coaching staffs. The cute swipe for my "Wolverine Fan Card" won't get you far though.

of really bad. It still doesn't contradict my point.

I'm not saying Borges was wonderful but I don't believe he was the whole problem either. The lack of significant improvement last year supports that.

Bringing Borges up is akin to this

Either way, I still find it laughable that people dismiss "execution". I find it funny that people insinuate that means I place no blame on the coaches. Regardless, Borges is gone, he isn't coming back, I'm not sure what the point of this discussion is.

But.. if a few of you want to go there, I find it a bit odd that a guy that was universally praised as I guy that really understood playcalling and how to put plays together and had the fan's approval somehow made the offense worse. DId he simply forget how to call plays suddenly? Did he lose so much talent as to get shut out at ND and drop to something like 21 ppg from 32.2? No, absolutely not. And that's not a shot at Nuss either, whose playcalling I don't think is seriously at fault either.

The great Urban Meyer and Tom Herman called 40 some plays in the first half against Wisconsin. They called a total of three different play calls over half the time in that sequence. Great playcalling? Unpredictable? Absolutely not. But the players certainly executed those plays at a high level, which allowed them to march up and down the field on a very good defense. Jim Tressel once called "Dave Right" 8 straight times. Great playcalling? Unpredictable? Absolutely not. But his teams was out-executing the opponent and it kept working so he kept running it.

Only in the mind of people that have never coached football can it be believed that "execution" is just a buzz word that people make up as an excuse. Michigan failed to execute for two consecutive years and it showed. Borges didn't realize how to call plays against OSU and ND last year and forget the rest of the year. Nuss didn't remember suddenly how to call plays against OSU this year. It's such a counter-intuitive thought process that rationalizes that paid professionals that have been doing something for decades randomly forget and recollect something as simple as playcalling, how to set up plays, etc, but a bunch of 18-22 year olds that are each required to perform highly detailed, complex, and specific jobs that they've been doing for all of a few years isn't probably the problem.

You've watched some football. You've maybe played Madden. You've seen plays run and all that stuff. Why is it that with that base of knowledge you can pick up well enough on play calling to be critical of it, but someone that spends dozens of hours a day working at it can't figure it out? It's nonsensical. Playcalling wasn't ever perfect. It's not perfect at any school. OSU fans bitched about Herman in 2013. MSU fans bitched about Narduzzi for three years. But they bitch because fans bitch because fans think they know well enough but somehow the coaches don't with such a task.

Execution was the major issue for Michigan. You're basically NFL reporters still holding strong that there is no chance Harbaugh is coming to Michigan. Despite all evidence to the contrary, you're steadfast in your belief that playcalling was the primary issue, and then was again with a completely different OC. But then you throw insults in there as well. Make sense of that. Now I'm done talking about Borges for those of you who randomly like to bring it up as some sort of supposed slap to the preverbial face.
