Polasek's Coaching Staff Discussion

[NDSU92]

So just to recap:

The playcalling sucks
The quarterback sucks
The running backs suck
Oline sucks
The recruiting sucks
The TOP/complementary football sucks

Yet we have the top 2 offense in FCS, arguably the best. Averaged 38+ points per game with a defense that often couldn’t get itself off the field.

Maybe the people bitching 24/7 are the ones who suck? Can’t even pick the right coordinator to get mad at lol

Been watching who from current staff are actively retweeting or commenting on socisl media about new signed players......very intresting!

Petrino has been very active, another coordinator ... not so much.

QB run isnt going away if Cole or Cam are the QBs.

I don't want it to go away...can be a game changer at the right moments...but we have running backs for a reason.

There were actually quite a few games in the second half of the season where it was used well. And I think we are on the same page, we need to get back to a main 1-2 rotation at RB and make that our priority in the run game. Hard to play action pass off a QB heavy run game imo.

Olson and the goose as well

Olson and the goose as well

Yes, I did notice they were both very active in reposts and likes, etc

[MAKBison]

Been watching Joe pawlak as well. No.actvity yet today, but not usually active either so .....

[Professor Chaos]

Nothing from Jeff Phelps, DT coach, either. Although I don't think they have any DT commits after Payne was flipped.

Same page...probably same paragraph.

You're right that the offense failed to carry the team in those games - hence the reason why they lost. That's the story of the 2023 season in my mind - when the offense couldn't carry the team they lost because the defense wasn't going to do it. Montana St was about the only exception but you could argue the entire team got bailed out by Montana St's placekicker in that one.

I’d argue that in Missoula the Defense was the only reason we didn’t get clobbered.
