The Snowflake Thread: Coaching

and they have to know Hoke is finished. Nuss probably called the best game of the season and he still couldn't generate points or 1st downs at key moments (right before the half was a critically weak series). Gmatt had a poor game. End of 1st half and Cardale's first drive were back breakers. Not up to UM's standard.

Here's to the future sans Hoke, cheers!

At the end of the first half, we punted from just over midfield with 2:15 on the clock, unfortunately, there was still .15 sec on the clock when Hagerup punted. If he had waited, and punted with the play clock at.01 or called timeout and punted, OSU would have had .15 sec less to work with, and would not have had time to score the tying touchdown right before the half, but would have had to attempt a field goal, thus taking four to seven points off of their score, and keeping the momentum with us through the half.

IF on that same OSU drive Mattison had not dropped into prevent defense and only rushed three guys, but had put some pressure on the Freshman, he might have made a mistake, he was flawless carving up that SOFT defense, they might have saved that same touchdown.

If coach Nuss would have called as agressive play calling in the second half as he did in the first, they might have scored enough points to win this game, instead of getting conservative and running right into their adjustments.

After their QB went down, there was a key play in their zone where Mattison brought two linebackers from the same side in a blitz, but left the other side wide open, so what did Jones do ? He ran to the other side away from the blitz, into our territory, for ten yards and a key first down. If he had blitzed one from one side and one from the other, instead of both standing next to each other blitzing, it is highly likely that one of them would have sacked the QB, and they would not have scored that touchdown to put the game away.

The kids played well enough to win, but they were let down by their coaches, therefore, I say to Brady Hoke and his entire staff, YOU'RE FIRED.

says it all.

You cant compete with a QB who is at best poor. The coaching staffs inability to develop a QB will cost them all their jobs.

There are no snowflakes.

Michigan either makes no halftime adjustments or makes the wrong ones.  They can hang or even lead in the first half but clearly get out coached the second half.

It's like we want to gently caress the ball carrier to the ground. Which would explain why we can't get any turnovers.

There is no doubt in my mind that UofM has the players.  This game showed they can compete, and win, against a top 10 team, IF the game plan encourages them to be aggressive on both offense and defense.  There were some outstanding performances out there by Uof M players.  I think the returning players will do very well next year, if the new coaching staff is as talented as the players. 

@Mark__Snyder: Hoke said there's a regular team meeting Tuesday at 3. He said he expects to be the coach next season. Has no meeting scheduled w Hackett.

How in the world could Hoke fully expect to be the coach next year?

Fire hoke. I will not give michigan a single cent until hoke is gone. Not to the hockey program, not to my academic program.

Michigan has a coach?

to see the team that played today all season.  Would have still lost some games, but not the pain of 5-7.

They spend the whole game snapping the ball inside of 5 secs and THEN on the punt before halftime, they punt the fucking ball with 15 seconds on the clock.  OSU scores the tying touchdown with less than 10 sec left. WTF?  Sure they could have run different plays to get down there and score anyway, who knows, but why does our coaching staff have to give them a hand? This fucking nightmare just needs to be over.  There is good enough talent out there all over the football world, and we have it too.  But you can't have this constantly coming up small from the coaching staff game after game. 

And tell me how M gets beat on the run game worse AFTER Barrett does down and OSU is in an obvious one dimensional posture?  Sure players make plays, no doubt. But this coaching staff gets schooled by every freakin team they play. And sure the misdirection on the 4 and 1 TD was clever, but really, JMFR was the only freaking guy on the field that read it.  

Little things make a big difference at this level, it seems like the game is just too fast for our coaching staff.   They need a permanent time out from this program.

Do we get muppets when Hoke is fired?

He said Michigan would only win 4 games this year.  I think Michigan already had 2 W's.  We were all pissed at the time.

 

He was only off by 1 game.
