McCall's season wasted for 2 carries

[Hawkfnntn]

Anything else you guys want to complain about with McCall? All of this whining over his redshirt or him not playing is getting tiring.

yes it is. Its not like the staff isn't going to get other rbs in up coming seasons or the other rbs on roster can't play. Second guessing something like that will just make your head explode

Wow by reading through this thread and some others, i have come to the conclusion that this board has a lot of D-1 caliber coaches sitting at home. I think you all should start sending your resume to Iowa's AD office, and in the reference part just send them to this thread since everyone knows how to coach this team better than KF. I mean really, alot of you guys are retarded. If you are so smart and think you could run a football team, then why are you not coaching?

Here is there chance. Relocation may be necessary, but I bet they would get some reimbursement for it.

Perfect candidate to replace Houston Nutt at Ole Miss - Andy Staples - SI.com

The only problem I have is that Ferentz didn't go back to him after the fumble, particularly after the many mistakes other players make that don't result in a complete benching. Hard to believe we only have one scholarship back worthy of playing time. McCall I'm sure is down and confused about his role going forward. Ferentz should have gotten him another carry. If Ferentz treated Coker the same way he would have been benched after the ISU game.

Coker was effectively benched in favor of McCall until the injury occurred versus Tenn Tech.

I still don't get how some people don't see that.

I don't care about the reaction on the board. I care that we have a really good running back whose body is going to be completely broken down before he finishes his eligibility. Another running back needs to get developed one way or the other. McCall fumbled. McNutt dropped three passes, a lineman whiffed a block that resulted in a fumble and touchdown...mistakes happen but that doesn't mean you just give up on the player. Thankfully we didn't give up on Coker when he had fumblitis as he has become our second best player behind McNutt. The confidence of all the back up backs must be completely shot. This is not a knock on Coker. He's a workhorse for sure. But when he gets gassed we should be able to find another scholarship athlete on the team to give him a rest. Also, I'm not in that "someone needs to get fired" crowd. I just think we could do a lot better at developing depth and continuity, particularly in the backfield.

Ummm....MULTIPLE people missed blocks on that play.

I think it was going to be a toss up about getting a medical redshirt.

So they decided to play him.

And by playing him they reduced the chance to zero. I think it was a very stupid decision. We have other backs that can handle a few carries.

Really? You don't get how people can't see that? Have you ever read some of the posts on here?
