Up next: SALUKI Week!

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Again, this one falls squarely on the coaches. Not the players, not Rennie, not Davis, not Mehaffey's facemask, not Oordt's fumble, not Collins. Right now this team is a mess internally because of the disrespectful and inconsistent way the staff has run the team. Putting Rennie in a position to throw the ball 4 times in OT is one of the most comical decisions I have witnessed. Bringing in a passing QB who has zero warm up time is something even a pair of junior high offensive coordinators wouldn't do. The villages need to take their coaching idiots back and let's start with someone who has some sense. Solomon has been complained about on this board for years and yet nothing changes. Verdou_ _ _bag has now jumped on board and is perhaps a bigger liability to the program than Solomon. Everyone knows that Coach Farley concentrates on the D and for the most part this year they have been solid, but the two people who are supposed to lead the offense have obviously gone completely brain dead. I agree, pick one, and stay with him. Why put both of these players in positions to fail because as a staff you fail to have the Kahunas to pick one. Even the SIU fans were amazed at our play calling, one guy even commented that he "hopes this staff never leaves because we get one a year GIVEN to us by them!" That from opposing fans who also remarked that we have pissed away more talent in the last few years than the rest of the teams in the league combined. Our staff has lost the respect of many this year but the players keep busting their butts. It's a shame but the staff doesn't deserve another win and then Troy Dannen can take his extended contract and start looking for replacements.

It is definitely mostly on the coaches.

Rennie played pretty well. No one can play a perfect game.

Davis looked rough yesterday. That could be attributed to the QB swaps, but also comes down to play calling and decision making. I hope they put him in better positions in the future.

Mahaffey's facemask was unfortunate, but was just one little piece of blowing the game.

Oordt's fumble was a complete freak play. Glad the D stepped up.

Collins and Sinkfield has their hands on the ball in OT, but those are hard catches, and if we had tried to run first we may have been in a better position.


As for the warming up, did Zach not throw on the sideline? I've seen him warming up in every other game, why not yesterday?

I don't think you'll get any arguement on Salmon, but I don't think most of us would know where Verduzco fits into the scheme of things.

I wish the D hadn't gone into prevent mode again.

I agree with most of what you're saying here, I just think the players did have a part in this. I have no problem with laying the majority of it on the coaches.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

Would it be better to find a new head coach and let Farley concentrate solely on defense while the coach makes clear decisions. Not that Farley would take a step down, however I think it's time to pick a QB and go with him. Either that or start running a wildcat offense with Davis, Rennie and Anderson in the backfield and see what happens there.

It is frustrating as fans to see some of the same mistakes made time and time again with the coaching indecisions, but I'm curious if the coaching staff isn't looking at themselves the same way we are looking at them?

How dare Farley and the administration not make personnel decisions based on what is posted on this board.

Once a again the lack of a rofl emoticon has left me unable to respond properly. When oh when will that be addressed?

We at least need a LOL emoticon.

I'm gonna start calling AmesPanther mean names because of what I perceive as faulty emoticon playcalling.

Do you know how many board administrators commit suicide every year because of people getting mad at them for lack of emoticons? Literally single digits, if even, end their lives every year because of site members getting upset about that exact thing.

*insert rofl icon that won't happen because Ames will not be around to do it after reading Jays post*

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

I've only been to two games this year, but have come to this conclusion. Two quarterbacks, one who can run but can't pass (I've seen one winged ducks fly better), but that boy can run. The other who is a better passer but can't run near as well.

I have never seen a two quarterback system work for any team, the defense just keys off which ever one is playing at the time. and neither quarterback can get totally into the flow of the game.

Someone needs to make a choice Rennie or Davis, and I'm glad thats not my decision to make.

If Davis was actually proven to be a better passer then I could get behind those calling for Davis, a little bit more than I have.

Rennie has a higher passing effentiency, more TD's, same amount of picks, less pick 6's, Rennie averages a little over 6 more yards per completion than Davis.


I was a firm believer than Davis was a better passer than Rennie, but I don't buy that anymore. He may throw a "prettier" ball, but that doesn't make it better

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

I think that comes from coming off the bench in a passing situation. Regradless of stats I think Davis is a much better passer then Rennie. The defense knows a pass is coming as soon as Davis steps on the field.

Davis or Rennie they would both be better QB's in a one QB system.

Agreed with that.

This has simply become an urban legend. The story has been told so many times that people believe it, but it has never actually been proven. Rennie threw some VERY good passes yesterday, and anyone who won't admit that is clouded in their opinion.

I agree. I think this is a well-proven football 101 fact, that somehow UNI set out to prove wrong this year

[bowvalley]

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

What I think is an urban legend? It's only my opinon, right or wrong it's mine and based only on the warm ups and 2 two games I've seen this year (I'm sure I made that clear in an earlier post.)
But I really don't think it matters much. Until they let either Davis or Rennie start and finish a game nobody is really going to know what either of them is made of, or make a truly objective statement on how good or bad either one of them is.

Re: Up next: SALUKI Week!

None of this matters. It's a "team" sport. You win or lose as a team not as an individual, and when it's all said and done I think most everyone want's the "team" to be successful.

But it is fun to trade "opinions"
