Discussion: Did Foley save his job?

[Juro]

A few weeks ago, Foley was the worst ST coordinator in the country. But the last few games, there has been improvement.

Hohl is the kicker and crazy accurate now. So I assume long snapping, holding, and kicking got figured out a few weeks ago.

Barney over IGC on PR. That’s a positive adjustment. Also making him primary on KR was good.

Kickoffs are still a hit or miss on kicking and coverage, but it’s not losing us games.

If you’re putting money on it, is Foley staying around for next year?

Improvement has been notable. IMAO, snaps on FGs still look rough, but Buschini has been a wizard back there, as well as being outstanding as a punter.

If Foley's back, he owes Buschini big time.

I think odds of Foley being gone have moved from being a near certainty to being a bit more likely than not.

From what I understand the main adjustment has been more starters on the special teams units.

They brought in a coach to fix kicking, not really a gleaming endorsement of Foley IMO

Doubt Foley gets fired

Didn't it get clarified that Maher had been around all season, it just got publicized that week?

 

[Snockered69]

I brought this up in a previous thread, ST has improved since Brett Maher came onto staff.

Need to get the best LS money can buy

 

[Ripping Lips]

Punt returns have been abysmal all season and it seems like we always fair catch it vice trying to make a play. Outside of yesterday, kick off returns were the same and we did get a few trick plays. But we also had a few FGs blocked. Foley can return to the pasture or be in an analyst role.

Foley isn’t going anywhere and with assistant limits it doesn’t really matter

Probably gets moved to a administrative position or something like that if Rhule decides to make a move.

At this point I'm thinking he takes a pay cut, moves to an analyst role, and opens the door for a new TE coach

Won’t satts eventual departure open a te coach door

Not if we don't lose another coach at another position.

 

[Blakejc]

Punt coverage and punt returns and snapping are still bad.

No limit to assistants, so it literally does not matter, if a coach leaves or not.

Between Foley, Scat, and McGuire, it's hard to pick the worst coach, so I think we should be safe rather than sorry and fire all 3

Barthel gotta go too.

I thought there was an assistant limit in terms of how many could be on the road recruiting. I understand that analysts can coach on field, but they’re not allowed to do home visits correct?

Some how I think we’ll survive without Foley hitting every greasy spoon in Western Nebraska
