I wish Bohl would have let Fuchs go 10 days ago. Coincidence that he waited until today???? I think not.
Fuchs is a Bohl guy, Blazek is an Entz guy. Would’ve been Blazek regardless

There is a good possibility that Blazek did not have the players to work with. And losing that Iowa game 14-7 wasn't exactly a resounding defeat.
Re: 2018 Coach Staff Update
I read somewhere that Rutgers oline, despite playing for the terrible Rutgers, only have up 16 sacks or something like that.

Exactly. Helps Mom to stay down and avoid topping the ball because she has a lower center of gravity. It worked for my wife when expecting.
Re: 2018 Coach Staff Update
Let’s bring Scott Fuchs home! He can coach FB/TE there an extension of the offensive line in our offense!

Unless you don't feel like being away or dragging your kids with. I was left with the impression it was more a quality of life issue vrs how it might impact her game.
But who knows how it all works out for them. I like their message and how they conduct themselves......cheering for their success.

I realized over time TP did a great job in most FCS games and against FBS teams like Iowa State and Iowa, but he struggled at times, especially against the better FCS teams. It seemed he could put togther a great game plan mixing it up with runs and passes against a team like Iowa, but then assume he could go vanilla and out muscle a team like JMU.

I don't think TP was a bad positions coach. Only knock on the guy is he's not an OC. Big deal not for everyone. What does it matter that Tyler is his friend? I know former players who love Polasek and guess what he was Tyler's position coach. Hopefully he tells Tyler what not to do. Think it will buff out.

TP’s biggest problem was that he couldn’t get out of his own way and was not smart enough to adapt on the fly. If his game plan was not working, he had no idea what to do.
OC was not his forte. I think he is doing exactly what he was meant to do. Be a position coach and recruiter.
