I suppose that’s your concession speech. If you’d like to borrow my thesaurus pm me and we’ll negotiate rates.

He's probably well into the potables after this weekend.......Somewhere Far East Wildcat is smiling - OC change and we keep the Hat. Been thinking about you Bob
I know I am in the minority, but I hope the new OC brings an entirely new offense. I think NU would do well running the triple option. The Wing T is another choice, although unproven in D1 football. If we ran the same triple option as the service academies we would quickly become the pesky purple pain-in-the-ass of the Big Ten.
You seem to disagree with everything I post on this board.

Not if we have to wait for bowl gamesAnything in excess of two weeks in naming an OC would indicate not getting anyone on the short list and probably installing a placeholder.
No one pays me to advise or coach a football program. I'm just a fan with an internet connection. That said, you don't need to score 52 points a game when you control the ball for 41 minutes.Bad idea. We want an offense that will help us win championships. That means scoring enough points on teams like dOSU to win.

I m saying that at the beginning of this year, that the OL performance had actually declined, at least in part because of the OL coach replacement. Long term it should be better but at the beginning of the year, the OL had taken a step back. Part was because of new guys and part was the implementation of a new system.Alright, I said in the post you quoted that once we hired Anderson he was exposed.
His work in 2012 was easily his finest year. He hasn’t innovated since.
And I would argue that Clayton could have had more wins with a better play caller. I am not questioning his ability to develop QBs for the NFL and posited that he did a good job in that area as well.
I can nearly guarantee that this difficult decision was not made due to one season of awfulness. But it is done and it’s time to find our new OC.
Especially without the 15 extra practicesChanges needed to be made - It is going to be very busy the next couple of months getting the offense reset

I would disagree that he has not innovated since 2012. Prime recent examples are CT's RS Frosh year and last year.
Not hardYou seem to disagree with everything I post on this board.
Thanks, buddyYou seem to be wrong a lot.
Stay classy, my friend.
No thank you. It helps in some ways but there is an upper limit to that type of offense and most elite offensive talent does not want to play in the triple option or wing-T. Just ask Georgia Tech.I know I am in the minority, but I hope the new OC brings an entirely new offense. I think NU would do well running the triple option.

How did he innovate in CT’s first year? It seemed a lot like every other year.I m saying that at the beginning of this year, that the OL performance had actually declined, at least in part because of the OL coach replacement.

I insulted you? That’s a thin skin indeed. I don’t feel the need to engage further with you on this because you are wrong. Your view is myopic and not shared by anyone who has had any real responsibility. That you seem to think you lend it any legitimacy by using big words also shows a lack of real understanding. Take a look at the post that garnered the most positive response in this thread from a variety of people that disagree on a lot of things, big and small. As I said, stay classy.You were the guy who insulted me on the basis of my opinion differing, right?
And you were the guy who responded “blah blah blah” when I gave further articulation, no?
Gotta love the Internet.
Mick is a person. So is the person who will get a job to replace Mick that may not otherwise have a job. It is non debatable that his dismissal creates one more job for another person to occupy. Why shall we celebrate Mick more than his successor when Mick has shown he cannot do the job for which he was hired?
He’s a person who has an employer whose fiscal success is dependent on public investment, both financial and emotional. His failures have undoubtedly cost his employer significant amounts of money.
For that employer to remain successful, his dismissal was imperative.
Wishing for his dismissal is not wishing ill on the person.
You may choose to be a McCall fan, I will choose to be a Northwestern fan.
Paul Johnson, in 11 years at GaTech running the triple option, won 4 division crowns but only one conference title (and the conference title and one of the other division crowns were the first two years he was there, before teams knew how to defend his offense). He went to 9 bowl games but only won 3. He never got anywhere near a playoff berth. No thanks.If we ran the same triple option as the service academies we would quickly become the pesky purple pain-in-the-ass of the Big Ten.

So your takeaway is “both McCall and his replacement are people?”
Wait, seriously? The post im replying to quite literally only makes the point that MxCall is a person, and you’re going to say that *my* takeaway is that he is a person?
I legitimately have no clue what to make of that.
I guess I’ll try to address what you may be asking by saying that it’s illogical to be upset McCall got fired on the basis that he is a person, because his firing will give a job to to another being who otherwise wouldn’t have a job, who will also be a person. It’s a zero sum game.
If you ask Iowa or Wisconsin fans, we already are.If we ran the same triple option as the service academies we would quickly become the pesky purple pain-in-the-ass of the Big Ten.
Very true!!! jNW.If you ask Iowa or Wisconsin fans, we already are.
So... there wasn’t much of a point at all to your post, which didn’t really have a point.
I’ve never met Mick but so was Colby. He was easily one of the nicest people I’ve ever met near the gridiron.One of the nicest men I have met. Good luck to Mick

Don’t bother with reason. That poster is immune to it.So... there wasn’t much of a point at all to your post, which didn’t really have a point.
Yup. That’s it. You got it man!!!
Yup. It cost one of our LB his entire season in a live game back in the 2000s. We should be able to run a Stanford-type offense, not a service academy triple option.Best reason I heard about why not to implement the option offense is that defensive recruits do not want to practice against cut blocking. Career ender.
Don’t bother with reason. That poster is immune to it.
Because I pointed out that a pointless post was pointless?
