He's not a good game day coach. Good rah rah and fundraising. Good recruiter. Good at shouting like Joe Swanson. Good at running a clean program.
Bad decisions
Bad decisions
Let's be clear.... there is no way in hell we want to lose Fitz as head coach despite boneheaded moves like this. NU is not a powerhouse program. We try another coach and we become Indiana or Purdue in a heartbeat. No thank you!
That was one of the most impressive missed field goals I've seen. 44 yards out and plenty of distance. Looks like the wind pushed it wide?
Let's not reach sweeping conclusions. He made two bad decisions today but I would not go as far as calling him a bad game day coach.
I would have preferred an unimpressive kick that landed on the crossbar and crawled over for 3.
I literally, and I do mean literally, think maybe Fitz fundamentally doesn't understand clock management strategy.
Cant wait for us to lose this game by two and 100% if the media questions ask about his clock management, and then he gets snippy about it like a pouting child.

7 yards on the JJ run is about as good as you could expect. Makes no sense to not gameplan for a timeout on a run of more than 5 yards or so. What a waste.
I still thought Kuhbander would make it.
Let's smash them in the mouth to start the second half.

The comment isn't based on two decisions in one game. We have 10 years of bad in-game decisions. And I love Fitz.
Most inexcusable clock management and play calling. You get a pick, a free shot at scoring before halftime, 2 time-outs, and you run 2 running plays, a short pass and a LONG missed FG, AND leave 1 timeout on the table.
Complete coaching fail.
Isn’t it football 101 when you get a turnover in opposing territory you take a shot at the end zone? Worst that happens is they pick it off deep and probably don’t have time to score.
Nope, our choice is an option run followed by wasting 20 seconds.
Maybe Thorson should’ve taken it upon himself to call timeout.

In other news, Iowa is a few yards away from going up two TDs vs. Ohio State...34 seconds left on the clock...three TOLs...let's see if Kirk does his best Fitz...
Only defensible position is Fitz thought there was only one TO but even that’s not defensible.
I have a bad feeling that squandering a scoring opportunity is going to really haunt us.
If we got a TD strike there, then another TD to open up the second half then we’re winning going away. Now we have very little margin for error, this being a road game.

This. Especially at half end and game end.
also the love part.
Shouldn't there be a coach on the headset telling him to call the TO? McCall?
We dont need fitz. The program has moved past him. $300 million facility, anyone could recruit better. He actually is holding this program back.
