Nah, I'm tired of bringing in retreads like him and Busch. Let's bring someone who's actually qualified to coach that position.

I didn't say Busch.

Ron Brown is already on staff, and knowing him well, I have no doubt that he would at the very least get our WR's blocking well. I know he is old, but from clips I have seen of him coaching, he still looks spry and I doubt he would put up with this pathetic WR play.

That being said, I get your point. Ron Brown already on staff could just be put into a role where he helps our kid WR coach out and tries to improve the WR blocking (and overall play). IDK if that is what they have Ron Brown doing right now - doubt it, seeing how bad our WR blocking and play is. In any case, we need to get so much better at all phases of WR play. No need to officially move Ron Brown to WR coach, just slide him into a role where he is doing that on the field in practices. Something has to change and improve.

Game manager with an ass team isn’t a great combination

We also know HH isn’t a fbs qb, so Raiola is easily the better option.

 

[HCFord1]

Holy shit Oklahoma might be worse than we are

 

[Sous Chef]

Man this is so embarrassing

We are a 2nd half team playing a gimpy qb.
Buckle up boys going to be a big come back

 

[Ripping Lips]

We'll probably finish 6-6, which isn't much of an improvement over last year.

 

[Herbie]

Raiola has had a lot of time to throw and threw it away.
Good
Coverage by Indiana or is he hesitant to let it rip

 

[HerbRedman]

Everyone sucked that half obviously.

I'm a little disappointed we couldn't draw up anything on D to beat this O or at least get some stops. We had 2 weeks to prepare for it

They may just be that good though

 

[Mavsker]

We will probably beat UCLA at home but being a 6 win team isn’t progress.

It's certainly not. Preseason i would have said 8+ wins is progress, but I'd grant 7+ is probably progress since Indiana is much better than expected.

Still, depressing af man

A big thank you to them for their efforts.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

So that wasn’t too bad…

 

[macmoolah]

Atleast OU sucks too. That makes me feel better a tiny bit

If we would win 7 in the end and play the rest of the teams hard in losses outside OSU you might be able to sell progress, but Rhule’s coaching staff isn’t a top caliber BIG staff by any means. We should expect better for what we are paying the assistants.

Did you miss the pick?

All the momentum going into half. Indiana has an injured qb that’s rattled

 

[Tell_Sackett]

Well, I'm really glad I came to this game. At least we have the privilege of standing in line for an hour for a Coke. My wife left to get some food over an hour ago. Still not back. Maybe she just went home.

 

[Herbie]

1st drive after half
EJ 39 yards rushinf
Raiola 4-4 for 36 yards and a tuddy to Neyor

 

[HCFord1]

On the bright side, I’m going to a deathcore concert tonight so at least I have an outlet for the overwhelming rage I’m feeling right now.

I know you didn't say Busch, but people are always rooting for him to be on the staff. Ron Brown is like herpes and can't get rid of him no matter who's the coach. Nebraska is/was a blue blood and we have a WR coach who has no experience in the playing nor coaching the position. I know that R Brown can assist, but Rhule needs to hire better people and the let the kid go and work for his dad at Texas Tech.

 

[ChocaEgg]

Best possible outcome is that we just don't physically come out for second half.
