Zim is our most efficient qb according to the stats.

You’re thinking of Blake Williams from Winnipeg I think. Rashad, Beck, and Camy weren’t D1 players. Slaight never showed up. Those 5 are on recruiting. Adams, they took a flyer on him but his knee wasn’t able to get where it needed to be. Can’t coach a knee. Same with Francis, and Merz. Injuries forced them out. Taylor was apparently an idiot. Grady had his issues and life responsibilities. Can’t really put any of these on a coach. But what about Dan Bell, Matt Cox Brandon Miller, Adam Steiner, and Blair? All underachieving. Have to put that on the coach.

Who’s this donell Smith guy?

Usually a position groups success and failure is attributed to the position coach.

Because the upperclassman can’t hang after 3 years of his coaching.

One thing that really bothers me about Rudy's playcalling is the jet sweep action. Not so much that it exists because it can be a great tool if used properly but how he uses it. Firstly, he often has one of our slow plodding WR's attempt it. That's never going to work. 6'3"-6'4" slow WR's are not the jet sweep body type, maybe Randy Moss, but not our guys. Running it with Izzy is a better option as we saw on Saturday. Secondly, the use of the jet sweep action followed by smashing the RB right up the middle blows my mind. All that does is bring another body into the already stacked box. It just doesn't make sense. No team respects our jet sweeps. They don't need to. Maybe next year with Izzy, Griebel, and McKinney it will be more successful, especially if it's a different OC.

They could bring in Mussman to coach the OL and it would be a huge upgrade.

3rd and 10 but still. I could live with it on second down but not third in that circumstance.

Exactly. He was a bum.

I had heard that he actually had fallen and couldn’t get up at the team hotel.

Our second line should be written in stone for the foreseeable future. They had nice chemistry and made stuff happen. Gersich seemed off last night. Maybe trying to hard to prove something. You could tell the gophers weren’t used to that level of physicality. I think it’s a shame that game was put out of reach with the major. I would have liked to see how things would have played out 5v5 in a tight game.

You have to know a guy to get one.

That hit was about as filthy as the move Jones threw between that gophers legs tonight.

I’m not about to give up on him. Yet.

For starters how about an offense that is relatively easy to learn. Then one that is plastic each week and can exploit the opponent’s weaknesses. Too much to ask?

I really like that second line from tonight

Wolanin. Was. On. Fire. Tonight.

In other words fire Rudolph and hire someone with a pulse?

Yes.

What are the excuses for volleyball? Those ladies get it done.

9500 and some change. It was better than it could have been.

I gave him a chance and then some. It’s just not gonna happen. He’s not the guy. We need someone creative and e aggresive we can use the players we have to be successful and then some. Someone to take our best guys and make matchup issues for the opposition.

He needs to add 20lbs. All DEs should be around 270. NT should be over 300.

He can take Knaupf and Kostich with him as well
