Well, I seem to remember a play in the Missouri game where we had a screen pass set up with 3 blockers and only 1 Missouri player to block. And the Missouri made the freaking tackle!

And we really think that is bad coaching?

Excellent point NTG.  I remember saying to my son what was Vahe doing on that play.

Would be a home run hire IMO. Just pure speculation, but if I were Herman I would let Beck keep on coaching the QBs and let Helfrich be the OC tasked with game planning, play calling + recruiting.

Regardless of who becomes the 10th assistant, I suspect we will know pretty soon. Change comes effective Jan 9, so I guess we will know by Jan 9

Even though I'm up here around the Ducks, I don't really know that much about his particular coaching acumen...all I know is, once he took over the team seemed to begin a slide into mediocrity. So that could be recruiting, coaching, or both I guess

OB is saying the coaches have told all the recruits at the UA game to recruit 5* OT Nick Petit-Frere.

Well that' out of the blue.  I know he has an offer, but I didn't know they were actively recruiting him that much.  What about Dylan Wonnum?  Any potentisl news on him?

I got a feeling that the Helfrich "talk" is being pushed by his agent.

If they don't know to hit the first person they see, maybe so. Would you like us to pick out poorly schemed and coached plays and have a contest?

No, that is too painful to relive

Not really because I know that I am far from being an expert in evaluating line play. That's why I acknowledge that we had both a talent and coaching problem on offense. I just don't know which was really the greater problem but I lean toward the talent level being the main culprit.

And I might as well admit that, not only am I not an expert in evaluating line play, I'm not really an expert in evaluating any unit's play. I just kinda of go on what I see. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong. The only exception is when talking to the wife. Then when I'm wrong, I'm wrong. And when I'm right, I"m still wrong.

Nick Petit-Frere

 

[North Texas Golfer]

Nick Petit-Frere

6'5", 265 lb OT out of Tampa. Playing at the UA game and Texas coaches have told our recruits there to put the full court press on him apparently.

Rivals has him ranked as the 67th player in the nation, 15th in the state of Florida, and as the 7th rank OT in the nation.

@Sirhornsalot, is the mystery commit at the UA All American game this week?

Extreme long shot.

No. Texas is making a late push. We offered months and months ago. Herman and staff are pushing hard.

Interesting story right here:

Guy is an English rugby player, who hasn't played a down of football in his life, yet is the first person from outside the US to be invited to the UA game. If you look at his rugby highlights, he's lightning quick, running a 10.7 100m dash. According to 247 we are talking to him. He is an extreme longshot, but may be seems to be an option at slot or as a speed back. He is a huge project, but his ceiling might be even higher.
