It's a given that the coaching staff at Michigan is done after this season, so if your Petersen do you go get Nuss and bring him back?
Smith must go back to the WAC, or MWC, or some other lower conference. He can't coach, develop, game plan, or call plays at the major level. Fact.
...some people give Nuss a hard time for his Michigan gig. But lets be honest. That place is a dumpster fire from the top down.
Nuss did fine here. He did great at BAMA. Won a title and Mccarron set some school records under his coaching. He took bama from the 20th scoring offense to the 12th his first year, dropped to 17th the next. Then he took over at Michigan. BAMAs currently 26th ranked in ppg under pretty boy.
I think he's the highest paid assistant in the country now though.
This spread, pistol is stupid. You can run a hurry up with a pro style......
You can, but why? It seems like there's this trend that everyone thinks you need to run an uptempo offense to be successful, and it's not the case. When 90% of your conference runs a hurry up offense isn't it an advantage to not? It drove me crazy when Sark switched to it last year. What advantage does it give you when you're playing an Oregon or ASU? The goal should be to keep really good and fast offenses off the field, not keep pace with them.
Just reading the last couple pages of the PAC thread, my thoughts went to Nuss. He's flat out one of the best QB developers on the planet and a major reason Locker and early Price reach that level of play.
Michigans woes this year are not his fault.
But here's the rub. While referred to us as our OC, his primary role was QB coaching and offensive recruiting. Sark still managed the offenses development and was lead OC when it came to game planning. He also determines and calls the plays during games.
But that being said, Nuss would be an instant upgrade at QB coach and OC.
Let's just see what happens the rest of the season before calling for the head of any of the coaches. Very disappointed in the state of our offense.
And as for next year, they better start getting the O functioning because were losing all our d playmakers and they aren't going to be able to keep us in these close games. If we can't put points on the board next year, the PAC is going treat us like a blow up doll. We also are losing Srs on the Oline too.
I'm interested to see if Carta- Samuels becomes the starter next year.
I'm not calling for anyone to be fired

I am lol...
I don't know that Petersen is the type to fire someone mid-season though. So I'm going to try real hard to not make head hunting Smith what this season is all about.
After Holt though it's difficult to not want to take action right now instead of waiting forever, and ever and ever... until a guy has a record setting performance in an infamous way... before taking any action.
Coach Pete is known not only for developing players, but good coaches as well, or so Ive heard. But I am not confident in his success concerning Smith and am not willing to sacrifice multiple seasons waiting on it...
Petersen and Smith have been together, they know each other....
Michigan thought they "stole" him from us, but we don't allow coaches to make lateral moves unless it's wanted to happen. I agree you can't pin everything Michigan on him, but he wasn't great at Alabama either.
Heya 4d.
Yeah. I don't know your team the way you do, and just look at raw numbers. I didn't quite understand the change at OC at BAMA, looked like it was working out great to me.
Some have said Nuss is a great QB coach and I agree with that. It's possible that he may indeed not be a great playcaller.
I'd be perfectly fine with him as QB coach and Coach Pete taking the reigns as OC for awhile. But I feel it's imperative to get Smith away from this team asap.
I do know he did well at UW in the past. So, works for me!
Either way, I hope you guys finally beat Oregon.
