Pelini UCLA Presser 9/16/2013

[HuskerInSecLand]

I have to be on the opposite side with this one.

UCLA's secondary is as young as Nebraska's LB's. NU's strong at receiver. Beck game planned that.

UCLA stacked the box and took Taylor's highest percentage passes away from him. Taylor was forced into his lowest percentage throws.

If Taylor actually had the running attributes necessary, this offense goes. Problem is Beck also knows Taylor is limited to wide open lanes.

UCLA executed their game plan well. "Make Taylor beat them with his arm" and only give him throws he cannot make.

The defense and Taylors inherent limittations lost this game, just likew all the other blow outs over the years.

I firmly believe a lot of these offensive woes leave with Taylor.

I think the defensive woes leave with Papuchis and the hiring of a proven unincumbered DC.

At least I can be sure Taylor will not be under center here next season.

I understand what you are saying and agree regarding Martinez. But why not bring our running backs into the game?

edit: and I agree this is a non-issue with Armstrong.

Bo has burned to many bridges to survive IMO.

It's too late to make sweeping changes to buy another year. Nobody believes any more. There is at least one more blow-out loss on the way, and maybe even a loss that's unexpected. It's hard for me to envision him as HC here in 2014. He's a desperate man because he refused to make sweeping defensive changes in the off season.

I set his survival chances at 20%

Bo can save his job, he just has to win. He needs to beat NW, he needs to beat Michigan, he needs to get to the B1G CCG. He needs to not get spanked by Ohio State. If he has a single loss by double digits the rest of the year, I'd give him the boot.

Because they were stacking tthe box.

I even challenged UCLA to stack the box and said Enunwa, Bell, aand Turner would burn them. Beck has to call plays that are within Taylors limitations UCLA was on it. Great game plan by them. If Taylor trys to throw those balls that are his sttrengths we're talking INT's or even pick 6's.

Taylor doesn't have the QB timing mindset to execute an option or even a screen. He's very simplistic in what he can do.

 

[Brasky]

Really what else could he say bout that

He's entitled to his own opinion... Or really anything other than what he said.

He won't be here next year unless he does exactly this ^^^^

That stuff's just not going to happen. The system is in place and any sweeping changes in scheme/philosophy will set the defense back if anything. You can't start from scratch in week 4 and if he even planned on it he'd have announced the firing of Papuchis this morning.

I wonder if Shawn Eichorst has a sit down with Bo (after the game, Sunday or right before the presser). Bo was very subdued at the beginning of it.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

He doesn't feel there is a problem with his staff.

His fix is to change practice from Monday to Sunday and to be a "nicer, less pressure" coach.

The only thing I heard concrete was a more narrow focus on game planning, less x's and o's and more detail on fundamentals.

I agree that it is too late for that to make a difference.

Bo's finished. He's pissed in too many cheerios.

 

[tometom]

just read what he had said about Frazier. I think Bo could have put that a little more delicately. not just "we don't need him".

But to be honest, in reading the statement, it didn't bother me one bit. Sure Tommie was a great player, but he has never shown one ounce of being a decent coach. He tried for 3 years at D-1 and worked for a coach that went 9-36. Then he tried his hand at an HC job, sure it was Doane and not some awesome place with a ton of money, but he went a whopping 3-17. I wouldn't take any coaching advice from the guy.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

He's entitled to his own opinion... Or really anything other than what he said.

In a nutshell that is what he said. He also said that they are doing the best they can and that he is on the outside throwing stones and they don't need him.

It is all true and I take no offense at that. I would say pretty much the same. Yeah it woould of been nice if he agreed with him and said I fired Pac this morning. You really think he is going to say that though?

He can't throw his staff under the bus at this point. There is no immediate good that would come out of that and it is his defense any how.

So he says he is entitled to his opinion but they don't need him. Like I said what else can he say?

 

[jedburks]

I loved what Bo said about Tommie. Tommie is an ass.

 

[Red_Alert]

I wonder if Shawn Eichorst has a sit down with Bo (after the game, Sunday or right before the presser). Bo was very subdued at the beginning of it.

I'd assume he was given a list of expectations that included blow-out losses and how he handled the media prior to the season.

 

[Skerpokes]

I'd be shocked if Bo loses his job after this year. It would be a knee jerk reaction which I don't think would be a good idea...not yet anyway. Only way I see him gone after this year is if the seats are empty, the donors talk with their wallets, or he has something like a 5 or six win season.

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

I tend to agree with ya. Notice his tweet ended with "check out my show".

Sounded like just another talk show host poking the pig to get ratings to me.

 

[corn train]

Huge part of the problems start and ends with Taylor, he pee's his pants in every big game, he sure as shit doesn't deserve the C on his jersey, I can't think of one single time Taylor was trying to be a leader on the sideline when our team was down, talking people up, doing anything really besides sitting in the corner by himself.
Bo needs to bite the bullet and bench his ass the next time Lopez starts shitting himself, he should get the opportunity this Sat.
Then again he could just continue to do nothing and watch helplessly while we're getting rolled

 

[corn train]

I had no problems with what Bo said about Tommie, he's going to defend himself and the team.

The worst part about this is I have to listen to CU fans talk shit about how bad we are, how the talent level is drying up and blah blah. I'm seriously miserable. :
