There were some on this board who stated that he is a great coach/recruiter. He is in his 4th year. The offensive line is not better. It it is utter crap.

I'm doing a Wrassler, here. A bit from my current sport, dressage, although I and my horse are nowhere near this level. Incredible skill, patience and years of training to achieve this type of bond between horse and rider. It is mostly done with the seat, legs and eyes. Very soft hands:

Piccozzi is consistently getting beaten on the line. So tough to watch.

RhabdoWildcat · Oct 29, 2022

College football changed when NIL and the transfer portal came to be and Fitz never evolved. He’s done. I’m done. I didn’t watch one second of the game and will not invest any effort until changes are made.

What they are I don’t claim to know but to keep forging ahead as we are is suicidal to our program.

DarkSide576 · Oct 29, 2022

Wow, the D Line is even worse in person. Atrocious. At least it is a beautiful day.

Don't let him keep coaching!

Calm down, it’s mostly a joke. Found this on another site; did not fact check:

Fitzgerald defends O'Neil, defense

Head coach Pat Fitzgerald said he has seen improvement in coordinator Jim O'Neil's defense.

Horse shit!

Lou,

I know you have a personal relationship, even a sort of friendship, with Fitz to manage, but I guess I’m just going to keep agitating politely for increasingly pointed questions to him.

I’d like to hear him directly asked “given another poor defensive performance, at what point do changes to the defensive coaching staff need to be made?”

This is far from the most aggressive question he could be asked, but it’s direct.

Meant to post this in The Rock

Did Kirk Ferentz leave his dentures in the glass on the bathroom sink this morning? His gumming had to be one of the highlights for NU today.

UpsetAlert · Oct 29, 2022

Some predictions for the remainder of this year:

- We win 1 remaining game
- Both of our wins this year come with trophies (LOL)
- Fitz makes the D coordinator change the Sunday after the season ends
- Coach Jake stays (continuity with Sullivan’s development a primary reason)
- We see a fair number of transfers in/out
- Skoronski goes pro

I think NU would have a decent chance to finish in the top half of the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

when asked, roughly, “What did you see in practice this week that gave you the confidence that something like this was coming?”

What he should have said: “I saw the film.”

wildcatcoaster · Oct 28, 2022

And is Nepotism or Buddy hire more program-destroying?

Should be interesting.

wildcatcoaster · Oct 29, 2022

I want to see if there's hope with Bakajan/Sullivan/Hull etc. that we can build on.

But I'm rooting for Iowa to lay 50 on JON to force some sort of change.

Bwm57 · Oct 29, 2022

That is all.

SmellyCat · Oct 29, 2022

It's good as new, but it still doesn't suck as much as this team.

DocCat2 · Oct 29, 2022

It's not that our talent level sucks...
It's not that our coaching sucks....

It's that our talent level sucks AND our coaching sucks.

This program looks like it just needs to be completely scrapped and rebuilt somehow from the ground up. Bring back Gary Barnett!!!!!

DarthCat · Oct 29, 2022

Just unbelievable how consistent this has been.

DaCat · Oct 29, 2022

At the half, Iowa has 16 first downs, NU has 5.
Iowa 4 possessions, 4 scores.
NU 4 possessions, 0 scores.
Iowa didn't score an offensive touchdown in the past 3 games, they have 2 already.
And nothing changes for Pat Fitzgerald.

DarthCat · Oct 29, 2022

How could I expect them to put 11 players out there?! On every play?!?

Piccozzi is having a rough day

The game has passed Fitz by…

D Line looks even worse in person

If Fitz doesn't want to embarrass O'Neil

We can still win the West

My story: Fitz defends O'Neil, defense

Fitzgerald defends O'Neil, defense

Iowa is horrible, what does that make cats?

Question for Lou

Another serious question.

Predictions

Good news

2022 Football Standings - Missouri Valley Football Conference

20-0 at Half and over 250 yards for the worst offense in P5.

Ferentz: “I never said I had the confidence”

Tomorrow's Game Will Answer: Is JON or Little Ferentz the Worst Coordinator in the Big Ten....

Is anyone else rooting for our Offense and Special Teams but rooting against the defense?

Yuck

We got our vacuum cleaner fixed today

My discovery today about NU football

On pace to give up 500 yards of offense to Iowa.

Iowa game at halftime, 252 yds vs 40 yds

JON: Pat, it’s those exotic formations!
