his mustache if it wanted to go. It said NO!
November 29th, 2017 at 12:04 PM ^
At first when I saw that I thought it was an absurd idea, till I realized they'd coached together before. I wonder if that was part of how Moorhead was able to so effectively shred our defense this year

Mcsorely is the machine that makes them go. That kid is a lot tougher than I thought and he can throw the ball. Still is pretty arrogant to think D. Brown is going to follow him to msu over Michigan. I doubt that has ever happened. A lateral to Mississippi state.............hmmmmm ah no. Fuck off More head!!.
Franklin FRANKLIN who is calling your plays next year franklin. Better kick a field goal franklin.
November 29th, 2017 at 12:51 PM ^
One year together as QB coach and DC. respectively. It is absurd to think that would lead Brown to make a lateral move from Michigan where he's worked with the entire staff for two years. Add in leaving his players and moving to a completely new area of the country.
November 29th, 2017 at 1:02 PM ^
OTOH: Who can blame him for kicking the tires? If I worked with a guy that became the best in the business, why not at least make a phone call? Worst he can say is no.
Which is what he said. But Moorhead doesn't truly know what's going on until he tries.
November 29th, 2017 at 1:10 PM ^
Absurd for anyone to think Brown would go there.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:18 AM ^
I'm confused. Isn't this like 5 posts down?
November 29th, 2017 at 11:21 AM ^
It's more like 10 posts down, but it's still on the front page, so....yeah.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
Good for Moorhead.. now James "field goal" Franklin can go back the joke of an in-game coach that he is, Brady Hoke 2.0. Fuck Penn State!
November 29th, 2017 at 11:20 AM ^
We are, after all, talking about a carousel.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
Please, please, please let it be Al Borges

Drevno
November 29th, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
Drevno proved that he improved the Oline this year. I saw improvement. For once I don't want any coaching changes. We are building momentum and we need all the coaches back.
November 29th, 2017 at 12:11 PM ^
At what point in the season did the Oline improve? Was it when we ran for 58 yards (1.6 YPC) against Wisconsin or when we ran for 100 yards (2.8 YPC) against OSU? Maybe it was the PSU game where we ran for 103 yds (2.5 YPC) and 7 sacks?
November 29th, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
In the OSU game, Evans had 11 carries for 67 yards (6.1 YPC) and Higdon had 11 carries for 55 yards (5.0 YPC), so I'd say they did pretty well in that game. It's important to remove atrocious O'korn self inflicted sacks and FB dives only really needing to get 2 yards (which they did) when assessing the line's performance.
November 29th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
When they were able to crush lower teams in Minnesotta and such with running game and had a good production against OSU. That is something were weren't doing (see games against mediocre teams beginning of the year)
November 29th, 2017 at 12:28 PM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 1:06 PM ^
It also important to note that 24 of Evans 67 yards were on 1 play and 22 of Higdon's 55 Yards were on one play. On Higdon's long run he broke 2 tackles, one being at the LOS.
November 29th, 2017 at 5:24 PM ^
So what? Don't want me to count those? OSU broke one big on the last drive - still shows up in boxscore buddy. May be you don't see it but I do and I am sure many as well.

Hello "Buddy",
Thoughts on Drevno?
Thanks Buddy.

He also has to be evaluated as an OC since that is his job title. Michigan ranked 84th in the country in scoring offense. If you are content with that then Drevno is the guy. We had many close games, and some losses that happened because we couldn't score points. If you are the OC of a team that cannot score points you shouldn't have a job. It's as simple as that.
That is tied with Kentucky, Duke, and Nebraska BTW.
We were also ranked 101 out of 129 teams in total offense.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:09 AM ^
Bump for everyone that was on the Drevno train 6 weeks ago.
November 29th, 2017 at 6:53 PM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
Any improvement should be attributed to Frey since he was hired to do Drevno's job!
November 29th, 2017 at 3:50 PM ^
That's rough but also maybe true.
January 4th, 2018 at 11:01 AM ^
I know you probably won't read this because this thread is about 6 weeks or so old, but I would like to revisit this and get your thoughts.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:25 AM ^
They should get a guy that has only spent time at football powerhouses, like Doug Nussmeier.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
It only makes sense and it's a perfect fit.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:26 AM ^
Please be DeBord.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:44 AM ^
Lane may be a weirdo, but he's a damn good coach. Look at what he's done this season.
November 29th, 2017 at 12:07 PM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 11:29 AM ^
The current HC at Fordham (who replaced Moorhead, and was his OC while Moorhead was HC there). Keeps the successful system and terminology going.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:36 AM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 11:38 AM ^
Shut up, man!
November 29th, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
Moorhead didn't call his own plays when he was the Fordham HC. Breider was his OC for all 4 years at Fordham.
If I had to bet on the new PSU OC, it's an interal promotion of Ricky Rahne.
Rahne's been w/ Franklin for many years - K-State, Vandy and PSU. Lot of specualtion he's being groomed for the role - the Moorhead departure wasn't unpredicted, after all. Rahne called the plays in the 2016 Gator Bowl - the game where PSU did nothing in the first half with Hackenberg at the helm, then was fairly successful (though didn't come back to win) in the second half with McSorley in there.

SCHIANO switches to offense and returns to the scene of the crime.
November 29th, 2017 at 7:46 PM ^
BOOYAH!!!!
BTW, FUCK penn state and all their delusional joepa loving fans!!!
November 29th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 11:31 AM ^
The previous Moorhead to Miss State thread also discussed possible replacements at PSU.
November 29th, 2017 at 11:48 AM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
Jay Paterno would be a nice fit.
