Official "REINSTATE MIKE FOLEY AS OL COACH IMMEDIATELY" Thread

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

I honestly can't believe this still gets bumped. Foley isn't going to fix this mess, idiots

... must be a huge knock on that noggin bump

 

[zls44]

It's clearly beyond Foley's help, at this point. But I'll say this, when the entire staff is canned in .005 seconds after the season ends, some program is going to get a great bargain when they hire Mike Foley. Ill be rooting for him.

He will have no trouble at all finding a job when this staff is purged. Sad to see him get demoted after he gave so much to the program.

I will say, that I don't even think Coach Foley could do much with this line.

I actually think he could, and pretty fast. Keep in mind that Friend and Greene were starters under his system two years ago (you know....when McCombs actually ran for over 1,200 and Big East Freshman of the year award and stuff...). And also, Bennett had two years learning the Foley system as well, as did Bullock. The only ones currently on the line that may not have any experience under his system are Cruz, Hemingway, and Mateas.

So in summation, if you go Bennett, Greene, Bullock, Cruz, Friend, four of the five already know the system and the fifth could probably pick up the guard-pull nuances...

so when they can PP after Mich, and the new coach cans GDL, then we can have a line running in 2-3 weeks.

I'm onboard w/ giving control of our OL back to Foley. You really gotta wornder if at some point PP is going to have to bascially "sacrafice" his ol' pal GDL to save himself this season? Like if Warde will give him either he goes or you all do? Clearly our OL is a major issue... THE issue (IMO)... that improves, running game, QB play, and timing improves.

You can't say it any better than this. The OLine is the major reason we are struggling. GDL is ONLY in charge of the OLine now. This is completely on him, and he has enough talent there to be effective. The reason I know this is because Friend and Greene were starting 2 years ago when we had a runner go for over 1,200. Those two are 2 years stronger now, as is Bennett and Bullock.

It will never happen, but it's something that needs to get done...

This is the "We just ran for 27 yards against Buffalo" bump...

This is the "Foley isn't the answer" bump

This is the "Foley isn't the answer" bump

Well GDL isn't the answer either

Throwback Thursday bump, in honor of Duffy's article

That being said, let's beat the heLL out of CIncy

This is the "Foley isn't the answer" bump

Although it may be premature to offer up a mea culpa...........this is the "it's not to early to mock you" bump.

This is the pile on bump. Foley is the answer.....

Actually WE are 0-5. You are 0-0 as basketball hasn't started yet. Please stop pretending you care about the football team. It gives you something to do until BB season. Have fun tomorrow night.

The someone can't admit when they're wrong bump. The line looked light years better after two weeks than they ever did with Deleone. No one said he was going to erase any of the losses we already had.

This is the "if we didn't have football, we wouldn't have a basketball bandwagon for you to jump on" bump.

A much needed bump, considering what some are posting about on that other thread. Thanks for the assist!

 

[Stinger92860]

I was reading a Lembo interview. He said he has typically kept 1-2 coaches for consistency. Should he take the UConn job, I hope he considers Foley for oline and TJ for wr's.

 

[Srqhusky]

Here are some thing i have seen from the oline the last few weeks.

We have been pushing back defensive lines. I even saw them pushing louisville back. We were in the second level regularly vs temple

Sacks are still up but they appear to be more coverage sacks than phantom blockers. More experience with the wb may help.

The running game is much improved and gains greater than twenty yards since foley took over are probably greater than gdl whole tenure.
