Pook Good Mook posted:Iowa beats Pitt with an (admittedly impressive) 57 yard field goal that shouldn't have been necessary and now our moron fans are talking like we're a team of destiny. You're a dumb butthole and this season has been really fun so far. There have been genuinely positive changes with the coaching/players (the coaching has been decidedly not chickenshit this year, before this year Kirk almost certainly kneels and play for OT last night). Like I don't think they're going to win the conference but dang man take a second to enjoy winning a fun game on an exciting play, gently caress. Also our corners can jam but typically don't because that's not the defense (and were going against what is probably the best receiver in the country last night) and Canzeri and Daniels have both gotten to the corner multiple times thus far. The recruiting is not great, I guess. If you want to pick on something the linebackers/safeties are still not great (aside from Ben Niemann) and the offensive line has some issues, especially in blitz pickup. But even both of those are way better than I expected them to be at the start of the year.

LeeMajors posted:So, I feel like college kicking is at its nadir. counter-point: Marshall Koehn, Bitch I think kicking has probably if anything gotten way better with time you are just more aware of high profile misses. I do not have numbers for it in college, but it's definitely true at the NFL level, where they just moved the extra points back because it had become so automatic as to be a complete waste of everyone's time. And just as a general rule people are better at most things now because The Past Is poo poo. I will stiff arm bronko nagurski's bitch rear end, bring him back to life. korrandark posted:Here you go. It seems pretty stupid to not have coordinators for an entire part of the game, especially one as important as special teams. You only get so many assistants and they generally don't want to spend a slot on a guy to coach kickers. Special teams coordinators usually double as a linebacker coach or something like that.

Iowa had one guy last year who was supposed to be doing it (Chris White, who is still nominally the ST coordinator and also coaches running backs) and they were poo poo. This year all of the defensive coaches are chipping in and we actually have pretty good special teams so far, at least when our returner is not inexplicably catching the ball as it is about to go out of bounds at the two and stepping out with it. But even then he is not attempting to lateral the ball to someone else as he falls out of bounds, so it's still progress! But yeah there are a lot of head coaches who do it, Beamer and Urbz probably being the most famous.

korrandark posted:still 7-5 We would definitely still only score like 24 points a game. LeeMajors posted:Well there were high profile misses in the past too--but I feel like there's a reason PATs and short field goal misses seem so dramatic and inexplicable--because in the past they were fairly automatic. Like I said, my guess would be that if anything kicking numbers have gotten better as time goes on and you're just noticing the misses more. I don't have the numbers on it though.

One of the guys involved in creating it was Dean Oliver, who is basically the grandfather of the advanced analytics movement in basketball. But most of his best work was a couple decades ago and I'm assuming he also got run over by ESPN/Dilfer on a lot of the dumber stuff.

Sith Happens posted:As difficult as the last three games have been to watch, I'm not sure I understand this move. We've seen that Johnson can be a good QB in Malzahn's offense. If his recent problems were due to lack of confidence, this isn't going to help. If it was due to Johnson simply needing more real-game experience, this isn't going to help. I'd rather they identify the real cause(s) of the problem and find ways to correct that, rather than not giving Johnson enough opportunity to get to where he needs to be. This just seems like a huge step backwards instead of even trying to take baby steps forward. The reasoning behind the move is that jeremy johnson is really loving terrible right now and was probably not ready to start yet. And also if the starting point is "struggles to move the ball against Jacksonville State" it is pretty close to impossible to actually move backwards e: wait what the gently caress that dude is already a Junior? Okay then he probably just loving sucks. MourningView fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Sep 22, 2015 |

Crotch Bat posted:I was following his stuff all last week. I think Vegas lured Purdue fans into this place of false reality with that terrible, terrible line for the VT game(VT -6) and the ready unwillingness of scared VT fans too stupid to know any better who were afraid to pick VT by more than the spread if at all. I don't think it's VT in particular that's causing the angst, although that game was definitely not much fun for them. Everything from when Tiller retired on has been one long slide into the abyss and the Hazell era has been particularly dire. He has literally won a single Big Ten game in three years and they don't even play in the "good" division; they play in the one with loving Indiana. VT was just the most recent confirmation that it's not getting any better.

I am actually stunned we never got around to playing UConn; that is like the most Kirk Ferentz OOC game imaginable. It's completely winnable, is against a semi-major conference team, and he has a personal connection from playing there.

Regardless of what he does at OC Hazell should probably be fired unless they dramatically turn things around. Like I get that things weren't very good when he took over but it's year 4. He's had plenty of time to try to rebuild, and I'm not really sure what he's done to deserve the benefit of the doubt. It's not like he was a can't miss coaching prospect. HE was a dude who had one good year in the MAC, which is a profile that seems to have lead to an awful lot of failed major conference coaching hires. Winning one conference games in three seasons is absurd. If you can't at least get the team to bowl eligible by year three or four in the Big Ten you need to go, especially in the recent Big Ten.

JRizzle posted:It's dumb to complain about Mizzou's conference schedule since A) they don't control it at all, B) it's not their fault the rest of the East, outside of Georgia and South Carolina (most of the time) has been bad the last few years and C) this is their 4th year in the SEC. It's impossible for them to have played the entire SEC West yet. Sorry Mizzou's cross division rival isn't Auburn? It can be a legitimate knock against their resume without being their fault.
