Probably not. But, I actually don't think PJ would mind. He'd get a hell of a pay day, I'm sure. And I think he sees what is coming, with the elimination of divisions and the new teams coming into the Big Ten. Things will get MUCH harder for PJ and the team in general going forward.
The end of the Big 10 Waste brings to a close the era of 9 win seasons. I'm not trying to turn this into another Kill comparison but how many 9 win seasons does Fleck have if he's playing a Wisconsin who was an annual competitor, a Bo Pellini Nebraska team who routinely won 9 games, an Iowa team that still had a forward pass, a Fitz Northwestern team that wasn't far removed from Big 10 championship game appearances? This is Jerry Kill's second term.
Who is responsible for talent?
It isn’t that good
How about 5 figures and modest, mid-sized sedans?
Just because you say something doesn’t make it true. He’s the players out for the tOSU game (spot on depth chart):
Great take. It is easy to say fire the coach, I have said it but now is not the time. Keep this philosophy up and will it will be time. We are getting close.
You're missing one thing. When you do move the ball to midfield and beyond, you need to take your shots and actually try to score TD's, not play the field position game and punt it away every time. It was 13 - 0 at the half, but it felt like 31 - 0 with the way we called plays all half.
I didn't like the run call based on what PJ has said in prior games when calling running plays in that situation. He has stated that they run, because the defense is in a cover 2 look and that is a good time to run against it since they won't have a safety in the box. OSU was not in that cover 2 look on those runs so either his answer prior is a load of crap or the decision to run on 3rd and 5 was a horsesh1t call.
9. Call fair catch near midfield and Give D. Kesich a chance for 3 points with a free kick.
What if we punt it inside the 10...and Ohio State feels a little pressure only up 13-0 and turns it over? And more clock runs down. Suddenly it might be a 1-score game midway through the 3rd.
Ok. Guess I don't recall PJ saying that. Also don't know what coverage OSU was in for that play. But c'mon... by that logic, PJ should run every time it's 3rd and 5 or less if the defense is in Cover 2. And we should throw it every time the D is bring a safety up. And if he changes from that EVER, it's a crummy call? Michigan doesn't need to steal signs if that is the case.
In 2023 and beyond, our NIL pockets.
Fleck has always trended towards conservative but in most of those past games it has been against a team we were an even match with which in turn can make a conservative philosophy make sense.
I disagree that 9 win seasons are off the table.
Meanwhile Iowa is 9-2 while losing to Minnesota and being more conservative than Minnesota
The first issue with the portal is who we lose.
Possessions are down this year due to the clock always running, so airing it out on 3rd and 5 isn’t really that risky in terms of time.
He seems to have lost any ability to weigh risk and reward. He sees only risk. If he runs your list through his head, he sees only No. 7.
Yeah. The tressel model doesn’t work very well when you blow coverages, miss tackles, and drop balls
Yep. You can't shorten the game if you can't stop anyone. That'll never work.
Or if the more talented team plays well in the 2nd half.
. This is way, way over my head.Yeah I mean I’m super disappointed in the team.The most succinct description of this 2023 program I’ve ever seen. Even in games that are competitive PJ is running out the clock while behInd
You realize this just proves my post, right? Nubin was 5th in RB depth. I don't think he even played the position in HS.
