Michigan did everything in their power to land the coach they wanted. Money was no object; they locked on to their guy and offered him the moon. Ultimately, all that money will come back to the university because of their wise decision to demand excellence.I don't know if any of you saw the back ground stuff but Michigan was laughing at us. Doing Gator Chomps and finger pointing. Laughing. I just want to go somewhere and kick to the hell out of someone's dog....
Same as muschamp, we're getting it fixed. which means it's not getting fixed.

I wish to God the UF management had that mentality.
"They've looked at it, we've corrected it..."
Where's the damn beer.
its been painfully obvious since the beginning of last season.Fellas, he can't fire Nuss now. He needs him as the scapegoat that gets fired at the end of the season to save himself. If he fired Nuss now, it would become obvious very quickly that Nuss ultimately isn't the problem.
Mac said Nuss knows what he is doing because he has seen what he can do and Nuss takes this stuff personal and they will get it turned around.
Just like he said the O-line was the strength of the team. That proves to me he doesn't know what the F he is looking at, so I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for him and the incompetent OC to get it turned around.

Ox is dead on. Think about this as well....just what the hell can you change anyway now mid-season? It's what it is and like it or not it's what it's going to be. Yeah, I know its one game but look how the entire team comported itself revealing program weaknesses that can't be fixed after one or two games. Yeah, Will Greir looked great last night. That Will Greir could not exist here in this program/offense style and scheme. He would look nothing like that under these yahoos. Those were REAL coaches last night with gunslinger offense going down fighting. If we lost that game last week slinging it and going down fighting I could live with that. Instead we couldn't even compete on a rudimentary level. I don't know if any of you saw the back ground stuff but Michigan was laughing at us. Doing Gator Chomps and finger pointing. Laughing.

A good play caller could change what plays were called when, on a situational basis. A good play caller could also break out some new stuff that Nuss doesn't call (sweeps, quick slants, TE/2TE sets, etc.). Play calling is also about the rhytmn and feel of the game as much as having X number of plays in your bag. Nuss doesn't seem to have much for the feel of the game. I agree with you about the inability to play rudimentary football. Again, though, a good play caller can help cover up personnel weaknesses with some effective plays that keep the defense honest. Nuss doesn't do this. Harbaugh does it very well.
I use to enjoy football. I now accept invitations to friends weddings that occur on football Saturdays.
Your points are dead on with a normal regular college football team. That isn't the case here. This is an anomaly. You don't see other plays called and up tempo changes and the other moves you referenced because they weren't coached to actually run them. You can see that in the way they execute what they DO have and are barely able to run THEM. Makes one wonder what in the hell were they doing off season? My god. Go back and look at that game. NO ONE was doing what they were supposed to do with the exception of Cleveland. Brett Haggie looked lost, I mean lost. Changing play calling isn't going to help ANY of that. I don't mean to sound so negative but I am a realist. Mac is clueless and man does it show on the field.
