Hendon made CJH look better than he is

[barknoxbrawler]

Hard to catch a pass 10 yards in front of you. Speaking as a former WR

Or thrown 10 miles under the speed limit of the Audobon.

I hear you, BUT had Milton not got injured against Pitt then Hendo never gets to play. Milton has been in the system for 2 yrs and still has no control.

That is the official stance, but with the way Milton was playing it was only a matter of time until he was benched. At the point he was injured, I think the coaching staff was looking for the first reason to try someone else at QB. Afterall, he kept missing wide open receivers streaking down the field.

Just remember, had it not been for an injury Hooker would have never played and this would be a year of consequence for Josh

 

[volmanNC]

I think you may be right. Just like Dobbs did for CBJ.

And like JG did for Conehead.... Oh,wait, that didn't work out. Forget that....

He has done the same this yr, and yet still starts. Because CJH wasn't forced to make a switch.

 

[volmanNC]

Milton is to Heupel and Dobbs was to Jones.

Your math is messed up, Perhaps it needs to be inverted.

 

[orangerush]

If Hooker was so transcendent, why did he lose the job at Va Tech?

Bad coaching decision

 

[stillwater5]

He also started Milton over Hooker.

Where would Michigan be if they had kept Joe ?

I disagree, with the players that can execute, he does well.

No, its a much different circumstance. Up until the Mizzou game, Milton hadn't played well, but he also didn't play poor enough to lose us games either. He was doing jusr enough with our run game to pull out wins and barely keep his job. This was good enough against subpar defenses, but not against better ones.

I also think the decision, outside of injury, to redshirt Nico was made a few weeks ago, particularly after Milton was effective against Bama.

He is handicapped somewhat, but his misses throw after throw. Too long on the throw to Squirell, too short on at least two other long throws. Heat seekers thrown from 10 yards away that no one can catch.

8-4

Inversely

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

And he coached him to reach that level. Goes both ways.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Counterpoint: Joe Milton made CJH look worse than he is.

Then he’s silly for not pulling him.

Nico hasn't received red shirt

Sorry!! I fixed it to what I wanted to say. Lol

I mean a good qb will make a head coach look good. No argument there. How about this one; Milton makes Heupel look worse than he is?

Some players just don’t have it between the ears no matter what. There are occasions where you can’t coach that. Some players just don’t get it and we have one of them.

He’s got a pretty good track record. Maybe JM too big of a hurdle. Nothing against Joe but there were some difference making gash plays out there we missed pretty much every time today. Think Joe skill set pretty much matches our record.

You have the #1 player in the recruiting class sitting on the bench, watching a 5th yr SR miss wide open receivers. Either way doesn't make CJH look great

Dude idk what to tell you. Nico wasn’t going to win many game this year either. Our Wrs didn’t do themselves any favors today either.

 

[OLEVOLFAN]

Yeah what coach makes millions to kick a damn field Goal when down 28pts! This staff is starting to show their true colors

 

[derekg_05]

GTFO

Got me! Great argument

 

[imbubbaspitcup]

Folks, the worst part of this game was this defense! It doesn't matter if it is 3rd & 35 ANY team can convert on this squad! What is with Heupel kicking these FG's when we are down by 4 TD's?
