having martin just catching punts this year is better than letting them bounce and better than dropping them or catching them inside the 5 like the start of the season
Frost is staying…how about the assistants?
- Thread starter ramelbm
- Start date
If it is Brent Davis - it will be a run first offense with alot of QB run game. Not sure if that is the right fit in the B1G to be honest. But if that is what Frost wants - go ahead and bet the farm. AM2 won't be around IMHO if that is the OC we bring in. Army has played as many as 4 QBs a season because of how often they get hurt in Davis's scheme.
Doc Holiday posted that last evening (only post I'm aware he made). He's back thread I think???
I'm not big on a heavy dose of qb runs......for lots of reasons. If you only played a handful of games a year maybe, but not with today's defenses, and not with today's athletes.
We need to have a balanced offense, I do not want to go back to the days of Jammal Lord where if we had to pass we were doomed. People complain right now about us having had RBs play QB over the last few coaches (TM, TA, etc), if we went to the Army scheme no legit dual threat QB is going to want to come here let alone skilled WRs if they know they are just going to be blocking.
Yeah. that's why I said I didn't know how "interim". They each have different levels of experience and background. one or two might stick at their new position or something like it, while the others may move back to where they were at the end of the season.
but we need a band-aid for the next few weeks. They're as good as any we got, I think.
Hope that is not true--would be tough to move the ball vs the better BIG defenses without the threat of a pass
Additionally, it would not help recruiting--kids don't want to play in that offense--QBs, RBs, WRs or linemen--many have aspirations of reaching the NFL and that offense will not prepare them

Agreed, I don't want the Army O.
I'd prefer someone who can help refine and improve the offensive identity already in place, not wholesale change it.

He's at the top of the short list according to Doc Holiday (go to "He's Back" thread and read it for yourself). Doc didn't say he was or will be hired but that he's at the top of the short list.
Yeah, I saw that
I'm not opposed to the man himself, just the scheme used at Army. Doesn't mean he can't do anything else so I guess we'll just have to see should he end up being the guy.

Doc has expressed his desire to have an offense that runs downhill and resembles what we used to do. I get it from a nostalgia point of view but I don't want the Army guy either if it means they try to run anything like the flex bone that the service academies use. If it looks like a modernized version of the 1983 Husker offense with a QB that can run and pass like Gill then I'd be down with that. Probably not gonna happen in this day and age though unless you ask TO to update his play book and he's got fishing to do.
Well, 1st he's gotta get hired. Then we have to see what his plan is. Right now I'm thinking, could it BE any worse than what we saw the least 4 years?
If there is anything we have learned as Husker fans it is just when you think you have hit rock bottom...
If you constantly depend on your QB’s legs for first downs, you’re risking the possibility of a high ankle sprain, a broken jaw, or even a broken foot. Not that we’d ever suffer those misfortunes, right Adrian? Right Taylor?
