Norm Chow just said the playcalling

Great coaches get great execution from their players.

This is the problem currently. I agree the play calling is just fine. The problem is in coaching players to do the right

"I'd rather win by nine than by two". Yup, great play caller.

Tough to know what to think about a guy who takes things out of context.

there's nothing out of context with that statement Crowton made. it was pathetic

It was 'that mentality' that caused us to snatch defeat from the jaws of

Sure - if you just take the statement.

Uhh...by what standard is that true? Not even close to true.

That's norm chow, definitely doesn't know anything about coaching d1 football.

Phcole

11/20/17 8:15am

Norm Chow was relavent 15-20 or even more years ago. The game has passed him

A coach is still a coach and regardless of the Xs and Os of the game nowadays

TheLoneCougar

Get out of here with those hate facts.

Phcole

11/20/17 8:26am

What you mention is the DIRECT result of poor coaching and lack of leadership.

kotacoug

11/20/17 8:27am

You misunderstood what he said.

Phcole

11/20/17 8:28am

Certainly you don't think there is hustle, effort and passion out there

kotacoug

11/20/17 8:31am

Norm chow thought so.

Haha... Norm Chow's career HC record is 10-36 you really hanging your hat on

You are making yourself sound very ignorant here.

TheLoneCougar

When was the last time Chow had a really successfully offense? 2004

kotacoug

11/20/17 12:43pm

Just wondering... How many Heisman Trophy winners have you coached?

CougarThug

11/20/17 1:46pm

The fact Chow has had abysmal offensive results the last 13 yrs has nothing to

kotacoug

11/20/17 3:44pm

Because being a coach and evaluating a game are two different things.

TheLoneCougar

11/20/17 7:17pm

That may be, but I am just discussing the ability of Norm Chow in evaluating

TheLoneCougar

11/20/17 8:32am

And do you really think he's going to say anything negative lol

kotacoug

11/20/17 9:17am

Absolutely.

TheLoneCougar

11/20/17 10:01am

Not with his guys. Completely different. Ty and Sitake are his

Throw 45 times with a freshman against a terrible run D? Norm is nuts.

Yep. More CBers who are better at understanding football than lifetime coaches.

But it’s Norm Chow... old cbers could predict his third down calls back in the

Ty's offense is ranked 125. Shutup cougarboard, Ty is terrible at his job.

I don’t think he’s defending Ty. He’s just saying CB consistently thinks they

ALC

11/20/17 10:31am

While I agree at k3ast testing the 8 and 9 man front in the run game

CarolinaCoug

11/20/17 8:48pm

BYU was down 2 scores for about 1/3rd of the game, so there's your 45 passes

Indy Coug

11/20/17 8:22am

Yeah, BYU was slinging it on every play to start the game.

HawkeyeCoug

11/20/17 8:27am

It's a lot more nuanced than that.

Phcole

11/20/17 8:35am

Had we run more, Joe would not have been getting sacked

HawkeyeCoug

11/20/17 9:04am

What you linked is not nuanced at all. It's a birds eye view. Here's nuance:

Phcole

11/20/17 9:35am

Your stats are wrong

HawkeyeCoug

11/20/17 9:58am

I'm looking at the espn play by play right now.

Phcole

11/20/17 10:03am

Uh, did you watch the game? And never down more than 2 scores leaves time to run

Turbine

11/20/17 8:34am

Wrong. First half BYU had 22 passes to 10 runs. They were either tied or

byubyu

11/20/17 8:38am

This. CB defending Ty is ludicrous.

Turbine

11/20/17 8:42am

But look closer. A lot of those pass plays were forced by critchlow getting

Phcole

11/20/17 8:44am

If you run the ball, you can't get sacked.

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 9:40am

So your argument is that we should have only run the ball. Got it.

Phcole

11/20/17 9:43am

Not at all. Look at the actual stats.

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 9:50am

Excluding the two minute drill we ran on 5 first downs and passed on 4.

Phcole

11/20/17 10:02am

Your point? The point still stands.

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 10:05am

My point is that outside of one drive, the run wasn't working well.

Phcole

11/20/17 10:13am

The outcomes of run/pass suggest that running was still our best bet

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 10:50am

A few completions opens the run game up. That's the strategy.

Phcole

11/20/17 12:36pm

Even before this game, people on here and in the media were predicting

CougarLoyalist

11/20/17 10:04am

Because Critchlow was getting sacked. Way too many passing plays early.

boscatar

It was only 3 -0 at halftime.

CalGTR

This. Impossible to successfully "just run the ball." With no passing game to fear, they sold-out on stopping the run.

CalGTR

11/20/17 1:19pm

Norm objectively covering for his boyz Ty & Kalani. How sweet.

mantis mutu

11/20/17 8:34am

If Anae were OC there'd be far better execution...

NorCal_Coug

11/20/17 8:35am

Norm Chow is wrong: No Awareness of how to attack UMass defense

BeefNoodleSoup

What I've been saying all along. It's not the scheme. It's everything else.

GOR

Well, that is still 100% on the coaches

idacoug

11/20/17 8:48am

Right but is Detmer the problem? Or HC/culture/discipline?

Impossible to pinpoint but looks more and more to me like it's coming from the top. Could be wrong.

I’ll admit - I’m all over the place with my thoughts on this team...

truecougster

11/20/17 9:21am

Playcalling is fine, players aren't executing. Why is that so hard to believe?

BeefNoodleSoup

11/20/17 9:30am

That is fine for a game or two. What is the definition of insanity?

RealityCheck

11/20/17 9:41am

Ty has adapted a LOT this year to work with what he has.

GOR

11/20/17 10:00am

It is the OCs job to get them to execute. Calling plays is not #1 task for OC.

fulano

11/20/17 9:47am

I know. Just don't know why they think Chow is wrong.

BeefNoodleSoup

11/20/17 10:12am

I think he is right. Of course, execution needs to be taught and coached

Bob Vance

11/20/17 10:06am

If you are calling plays your team can't execute then it's bad play calling.

SpiffCoug

11/20/17 10:51am

At game #12 on the season it sure is, anyways.

mantis mutu

Gerald-DeGroot

i'm shocked that a guy who runs a similar offense from 1982 is supportive of the current scheme. that being said, he is

BlueTroop

11/20/17 12:22pm

Have Norm explain the 2nd down playcalling in the first half

HawkeyeCoug

11/20/17 12:33pm

The coaches job is to get the players to execute. It's still on the coaches.

fulano

11/20/17 1:51pm

Coaches have to stay on the sidelines. They can't do it all.

CougarThug

11/20/17 2:21pm

I am confident this is true. But there is a critical component missing.

BlueTooth

11/20/17 1:58pm

No one posting in this thread knows a fraction about running an offense

Cougrrrs Roll

According to the OP, Norm said he has "no idea what...happened on Saturday"

I'm sure Young, Detmer, Rivers, Palmer, and Leinart would all agree with you.
