Greg really is that dumb
- Thread starter RUTGERS95
- Start date
Greg has no feel for the game or situational football
Attempting to freeze a kicker who doesn't have the leg strength but let's the other team see the field goal is unmakable. Absolutely stupid and useless
where are the dumbass NIL guys that want to give this idiot more money??????
Anything under 40 yards and I’m OK with the timeout there. 58 yards in a swirling wind with a team that doesn’t have a stable kicking game is pretty bad.
Can’t believe the rants here - icing the kicker was the right call.
it's just indefensible and if the media doesn't call him out then what good are they??? Look, no one is going to claim Greg is a smart man but that was pop warner level **** there. how the hell is he not tarred and feathered over this????????????
Not in this instance. He had zero chance of making it. Just showed the other team that as well
This better be sarcasm
Absolutely not. Illinois doesn’t have a stable kicking game, it’s 58 years in a swirling wind, and the timeout showed Illinois that kicking was a stupid call.
BRILLIANT.
57 Yard FG into the wind and you call TO ?
Not a good game day Coach.

just beyond dumb, I'm actually dumbfounded at just how bad this guy is on gameday
in addition, multiple studies have demonstrated that icing doesn't work!
Radio guys are trying to be kind, they are trying to be positive but even they are just dumbfounded
Ill was forced to kick and couldn't change out to the offense. calling a TO there is Mario Cristobol level of stupid

Probably the worst over coaching I’ve ever seen him do. That one broke my spirit on him finally. I’m broken by that. Indefensible
Agreed, Fonseca, Richie, Politi, anybody….. somebody please question him on this and let him off the hook if he does not answer the question
Was it? No time out called and Rutgers win. He missed. Time out called and Rutgers lost. I prefer wins to losses.
Even if it was the right call, why call it and let him get a practice kick in? That kick led to Bielema realizing he couldn’t make it. It also would have let the kicker adjust based on the first strike.
Did you hear the Illini HC said after the game ?
“ Thank god they called Timeout “.
“ Thank god they called Timeout “.
Fire him. When is enough terrible enough?
How much NIL and fieldhouses does Illinois have? Nothing but excuses

Terrible job by Greg. Just terrible.
You don’t ice a kicker on a field goal that is impossible, Bielema sent a kicker out for a 57 yard kick into the wind it was impossible. You wanted them kicking the field goal. He called timeout, Illinois then saw that it was impossible and rethought and finally made the right decision. That was all Greg’s handiwork, you don’t ice a kicker when you want him kicking!!!!!
As stupid as icing the K was, it was 4th & 13 guys. How about the D steps up and makes a play?!
numerous studies show icing doesn't work
icing him really doesn't matter, they had no time outs and kicking 58yards into the wind with no time or allowance to change to offense. a kick that far needs to be low, no way they get it off and if they do, odd favor us big time
it's just mind numbing how dumb he is and how bad he is on gameday

The blitz call on the next play is just as bad. Play defense, stop them and it’s over. They needed so much to go right there and we let it happen
The timeout was bad. Bringing the pass rush instead of pass prevent was plain stoopid.
If he had done it before he actually kicked the ball. The kick allowed the kicker to adjust AND changed the mind of the Illinois staff after seeing the kick.
And the thing is this undeniably his call. Nobody to blame. It's his thing icing kickers. His call, his consequences.
How much you wanna bet Schiano throws his DC under the bus for this loss on the blitz call instead of owning up to his moronic decision
Some times you have just leave things alone, you see the defense is not healthy and He gambles on iceing the kicker thinking Illinois is going retry the kick ! Really Greg , why do you keep doing this when the game is on the line .
Icing doesn’t even work !!!! It’s dumb !!!!
