Wait. You think PJ is TOO aggressive??
His is in the most inopportune situations.
Now might be a good time to resurrect the debate as to whether or not Fleck said he wasn't a good Xs & Os coach.
I'm all about punting there as well. Ferentz would've takena 5 yard delay and punted. But man GHers talk out both sides of their mouth a LOT. Fleck punted from that same spot against Wisc in 2019 and we heard about it for MONTHS, literally. Every time he goes for it and fails he's an idiot. Every time he doesn't go for it he's an idiot. Kick a FG and he's an idiot. Personally, I thought it wsa stupid to kick there, but Fleck was FAR from the reason MN lost this game.
Kicking FG on that down with the way Iowa is playing is called the act of desperation with a touch of lunacy. it is not coaching.
a lot of this comes from hiring a younger coach from a non-P5 conference who is more flash than substance. Fleck does not have a deep network of possible assistants to draw on and many who might come to the Gophs think twice about the personality driven approach to program management.
That's why he needs someone with good OC experience to help him out. The current one just not cutting it. He is more of PJ Starbuck carrier.
your a dumb ass
I'm not gonna get in a pi$$ing match because we're all mad and sad and arguing does nothing, but I'll just say again that I thought the players lost today. The FG was a stupid decision and is on Fleck. The OC has been bad at times, but he was fine today. They gained 400 yards of offense and shredded Iowa on the ground. They mixed in the pass well IMO, but Morgan just didn't complete enough of them. You can say Fleck should've replaced Morgan, and fine...nobody can prove one way or another if it would make a difference. I wouldn't mind seeing Annexstad next week. But again, I put today on the players. If you put it on Fleck, that's fine.
4th and 12, no?
How many touchdowns did we score?
No, the WI game was 4th and 2. We punted. Should have gone for it.
Spot on. Was the definition of PJ Fleck. No clue dude.
Our receivers don't get open. Bateman and Johnson were always getting open and it made it easier to pass, Now it looks like Morgan is steering his passes into tight spots as opposed to firing a pass confidently to an open receiver.
Yet he wouldn't go for it at iowa 2 in the first quarter. Even the commentators questioned it knowing our history with iowa.
Correct.
He desperately needs an in game strategy / analytics coach along with a new OC and new QB.
other than that, sail on ye ship of state.
I dunno, I keep seeing at least one guy open on the route. Tanner is late on the ball and that results in over throws, sacks, and often turnovers. Heck the guy was wide open in the end zone but he doesn’t pull the trigger. Even Laurenitis talked about MBS being wide open and Tanner missed him. A number of times CrAB was open and then Tanner waits to throw and then he’s covered up by then and throws too late. I’m not saying that TJ and Bateman were not more open but that certainly could be more scheme related too.
