We win if coaches use the kicking game correctly.

I think they were more worried about their team's mentality and stamina playing on the road. Cal was scoring too much for them to play "run-out the clock". CSU didn't offer enough resistance in Reno to fear a comeback, plus that was a payback game from last year. BYU in Provo, Nevada coaches talked all week like they were scared of us, despite our record and our performance. I think the UNR coaches were afraid of going for style points with too much time left on the clock and suffering injury or making a game-changing mistake.

Nobody says those exact words, but you've got some pretty harsh critisim of him throughout this thread. So I ask you, what are you saying? Are you saying that Bronco should get you on the headset to ask you what to do next? Are you saying that he should predict your whim as to what a good football idea is? Or should he just agree with you more often? What are you saying?

And I am finally on board with shooting the veterans and firing the coaches.



So put your dream staff together. Fire Bronco first. List below all of the replacements u would like to see but first they must be willing to work for less than half what June Jones got at SMU while hearing fans whine about the big bucks they get paid.



Make your list. UW fans will let u have Sark if you want him. He makes more money though as a rookie HC. Oh, I forgot - Bronco beat him and his senior heisman #1 pick QB and returning 100 yard rusher and all everything returning receiver. Scratch Sark. Who else!

The obvious answer, I think, is yes.

They already do that (stay after and practice more). When you have a young talented team, it just goes without saying that you practice with them more, not only to get them ready for this year, but the next few as well.



We aren't playing the usual patsies anymore, and teams are finding ways to beat us. So I think that we need to make a few changes. Especially if we want to be at the top instead of in the middle.

Being in the game more, and leading scoring drives will calm his nerves. Right now doing throw throw throw punt we are just throwing him into the fire. We need to ease him in.

A 20 play, 8 minute drive in the 3rd quarter would support yours and my theory. BYU had no answer on defense. If you play your CB's 12 yards off a running defense, then you better creep your safeties up, but BYU did neither. They were playing "prevent" against a running attack, and it was the easiest drive down the field Nevada has ever had, with multiple 3rd and 3's. The only time we actually put pressure on the qb in the 3rd and 4th, we got a pic. Coincidence? Or did we just make an adjustment with 6 minutes to go in the game that we should have made in the first quarter? Terrible defensive positioning.

Yes. I thought I said my piece and that it wasn't worth fighting over. But if you want me to continue, I guess I can...



Here are your last few posts dealing with the football team:

This comes across as Clearly your knowledge of what the team needs here is superior to Bronco's, but, you're not actually calling for him to be fired, you're calling for him to talk to you about practice schedules or something....

Again, your way is way better than their way, but you're not specifically calling ofr a firing....

AKA Bronco's screwing up Heap's development... he should check with you about doing a better job....

Once again... "coaches suck!"



I'll admit that in reading through these, I was a bit thin skinned.... you're not calling for Bronco's firing; but the vibe that I was getting was that of negativity, without ever calling for anything specific - other than you proclaiming that you're right, and something (but nothing specific) needs to be done about our sub-standard coaching staff.



That is all I have to say on this topic. Am I free to post on other topics now? :roll:

If he really is that bad he should be fired. But I guess u r right, a couple of u geniuses just need to slap him up the side of the head and knock some sense into him.

Bronco fired his DC, thus I guess some of the criticisms were absolutely correct. Which I guess means that Bib and ABYUFAN now want Bronco fired... :bug:
