KOK's playcalling is unreal

[bkim24]

It's a combination of playcalling and poor QB play. WHERE HAS THIS HURRY-UP BEEN ALL GAME?

Its been on the shelf since the ULM game

FACT

Actually, it's not FACT. He came from Fordham, a DI FCS school, like UNI.

 

[NickM]

He spent less than one full year at Fordham. Nothing about his resume warranted the jump to offensive coordinator at a Big Ten school. He's here because he's Ferentz's friend, which is fairly well known. Hard to believe at his age when he came that he his career track would have taken him to a major division one coordinator position but for his friend hiring him.

[NickM]

Just took another look at his resume. Had he not been friends with Ferentz his resume would not have even warranted an interview at this level. If they were related we would call it blatant nepotism, but in this case they were just close friends.

Unless the coaches are telling the receivers to drop every other pass, I'm not going to blame them for anything.

How much money did Marvin cost himself today?

Yeah Vandy was BAD today but he didn't get ANY help from WR at all.

well, what is a FACT is that KOK is not a legit FBS coordinator and he holds that role only because he is KF's crony.

blows my mind how he can catch that fade, and then drop like three slants. is he just not concentrating? weird.

It's not just the drops, he lined up against a good CB and couldn't get open the entire game. There is a reason we were throwing to TEs in the 4th quarter. Marv wasn't getting open at all.

Please, explain the strategic advantage gained by the wr reverse and bubble screen calls on 1st down -- plays that take forever to develop -- against a fast, experienced defense. Please, what's you're apology for the coaching competence with regard to game-flow / momentum when you're driving the ball but resort to 2 plays that require more precise and extensive execution to be successful but that we've run only a handful of times all season with little to zero success.

Those were truly mind-boggling.

That said, KoK didn't throw screens into a defender's facemask, or throw fades 10 feet out of bounds, or drop multiple catchable balls, or commit dopey drive-killing penalties, or fumble the ball.

Offensive playcalling was sometimes poor. Execution was often poor. Nebraska had a lockdown NFL-quality corner on McNutt. Add those up in a hostile road game and you can't win.

 

[Craig60]

It doesn't help when your QB throws it at the face of a guy 5 ft in front of him.

It doesn't help that you are throwing to a reciever only two yards beyond the line of scrimmage. Throw the ball down the field

 

[bcl20]

Anyone know how much influence Kirk has on play calling? Does he just let KOK have free reign or does he get pretty hands on?

 

[vegashawki]

His play calling is a joke, he's a joke

"...cut and paste..."

Kind of like the opposing teams do now. Pick one game from the last 11 years and you have scouted Iowa. You KNOW there will be nothing different from this staff...the same seven offensive plays and the same defense. So scout Iowa, look for their weaknesses and attack them. Iowa will do nothing to change except make excuses. Game over...Heck High school coaches could gameplan against Iowa...The defensive lines would be similar in size and skill.

A lot of high school teams have defensive line players in the NFL?

Yes, I absolutely blame the coaches for dropped passess, fumbles and anything else that goes wrong. They either have to recruit D1 players or teach others how to concentrate and make the catches. A good part of football is mental. Credit goes to the coaches when things go well and equal credit goes to them when things go bad.

 

[hoffahawk]

It is on the playcalling.You throw a deep pass into double coverage on 1st down and then run a zone read on 2nd. We call ourselves into 3rd and long with far too much frequency.

Vandy had a horrible game and McNutt didn't show up, but the above is 100% true.

 

[kuhntz]

It's always been situational playcalling. Perfect example today, it's a 3-0 game in the 2nd Q...we are running the ball very effectively and get bailed out by Davis who makes a great catch on a horrible throw by Vandy (who to that point had been missing terribly ever since McNutt dropped 2 balls on the first drive).

So we are sitting at 1st and 10 on the Nebby 35. We proceed throw 3 straight times...what better time to pound Coker straight ahead where he was picking up 4-8 yards a crack.

Instead we punt yet again inside the opponents 40.

 

[HawkForce]

I am fine with our philosophy on o....its just kok sucks at playcalling....

KoK needs to go sell insurance.
