Farley Can't Close Out When It Counts

Re: Farley Can't Close Out When It Counts

He can't close out even against teams with less talent according to today.

He's not a good coach people. I've been saying this for several years. Good recruiter yes. Good coach no.

Salmon is worse...

Re: Farley Can't Close Out When It Counts

The play calling today was really bad.

We mange to accumulate 37 rushing yards in 4 quarters, so what do we decide to do on the first play in OT? Run the ball!!! How about on 4th down with the game on the line? Run the ball!!!

Less talent at what position?

I thought SIU outplayed us. Maybe outcoached us too. Hard to say with dropped balls, poor blocking, injuries, etc.

Kicker. (and that's the extent of that list, at least today. two weeks ago would have been a different story)

I couldn't believe he missed it.

We call a run up the middle. Unbe@#$@#inglievable. Salmon is complete horse $#!@.

I'd almost rather wish he'd made it. Save us the embarrassment of our OT play.

Earlier in the game, it looks like the kicker's plant foot slid out from under him during a kickoff. I wonder if that affected his later play (either physically, or mentally)

I think a different guy does the kickoffs.

McKinney has plenty of leg but he missed an xp in a 1 pt. loss to YSU, missed a mid thirties fg in OT in a 3 pt. loss to against EIU, and missed a 29 yarder to win the game in regulation tonight. Does not bode well for us if we get into the playoffs.

Re: Farley Can't Close Out When It Counts

I do not believe the Farley is the problem at all. Honestly you can say our defense has been pretty consistent since he's been here. He has nothing to do with play calling. And that my friends is where we lose the majority of our games. We get big leads and play not to lose (end up losing). We start losing a CLOSE game and completely throw out the game plan. It might just be past Salmon's time...sad but true

Re: Farley Can't Close Out When It Counts

I think the play calling has grown continually suspect since the end of the 2007 season. Subsequent seasons became very reliant on big plays rather than sustained drives. The game against NDSU is a great example. As was the 3rd down and 4th down calls at the end of OT against SIU.
