Sip claims Bando mismanaged by previous staff

[inWV]

"And no, that's not a cowardly, after-he's-gone slap at the previous head
coach. Bo Pelini seemed to always strive for fairness. But roster
management is an inexact science. In this case, one full-time member of
the former defensive staff acknowledged his misgivings about the way
Banderas' playing time was handled each of the past two seasons."
Who is this unnamed former coach?

Bando

Probably the terrible Ross Els?

I love how he had to qualify his take that he wasn't making a dig to start off the story. Still rockin the kneepads?

Look no further than the draft results to see how they mismanaged players. NU will probably get 3 guys drafted this year. What was it last year? Two late-rounders?

 

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

I am pretty much done being liquored up about the new staff and am forcing myself to come back down to earth. They have done everything, and I mean everything right IMHO. What is left now is to see what happens between BYU and Wisconsin, and beyond. On one hand one would hope we won't see defenders looking to the sideline to figure out how to get set when the ball is snapped, having players like Bando running around like organ grinders' monkeys, and players getting ripped for 10 minutes for making a mistake. On the other hand, Mike Riley was taking some heat at OSU before he left, and one of the main sticking points was his refusal to replace Banker. We just won't know what the defense will be like until they play BYU's solid, opportunistic offense, Miami's speedy talent on the road, and Wisconsin leaning on them.

As far as Sipple goes, the butthurt is still strong with that one, but he seems to be getting over it.

Ha ha, OK Sip. Still fighting the good fight.

I enjoy Sharpe and Benning's show. But one thing I hate is when one of them is gone and Sipple is guest hosting. No one whines and seems more cranky than him. I wish they'd stop having him on. He really is a PIA.

 

[93sker]

I think all the lb's were mishandled. Benning (I think) was in an interview within the last few months and had spent some time at practice and observed the lb's. I don't remember the specifics, but had been at practice and observed one member of the coaching staff asking the lb's do one things against a certain look and another coach asking the lb's to do something different against the very same look. Didn't sound to me as if the asst. coaches understood Bo's defense and was no wonder they played slow and not up to their ability.

Outside of the offense we run, this will be the one group that I'm really excited to see what they can do when they have clarity of purpose and can be freed up a little bit to use their athleticism.

Here's a link to Sip's article. I personally like how blunt Tom Banderas was in the round table. Personally, I always thought Els was a better coach than he was given credit for. We'll see how that plays out at Purdue.

Sipple is what happens when everyone else at a newspaper either retires or jumps ship, and the local bowling columnist ends up covering the flagship university's football program.

 

[huskerssalts]

My opinion has always been Bo was great against the pass happy teams and had great schemes to defend them or confuse them but when it came to run teams like Wisconisn or Iowa then his weakness was exposed. Banker and the staff seem good against the run but has troubles against the pass teams (almost reverse roles now). Giving Banker credit we did have some slow CBs this year and wasn't the talent needed to run his pass defenses. Now that he gets A Anderson, E Lee, A Williams, Dismuke, L Jackson, Bootle and T Butler to upgrade his CBs, SS and FS maybe we will see a lot better DB coverage. But how much of pass defensive issues come from the Dline getting very minimal pass rush?

Agreed, and frankly, he just isn't quick enough to be on the radio. He just can't keep up with the host. Benning's pain and frustration is palpable when he's got to grind through a show with Sipple. It is very hard to listen to for more than a few minutes.

It looks like we found out.

Probably a great move by Els honestly. Bo really gave him and others jobs and opportunities early. No doubt that BO was a dictator however and it's undisputed our LBs improved drastically last season. Sip may have taken some things out of context as well

 

[Husker.Wed._rivals]

Yup. The inability to get one friggen first down cost us both those games. Let's hope that gets fixed soon.

Yes and you were so right about Nate Gerry when we recruited him. Will you ever grow up? Don't bother to answer -- it's rhetorical.

 

[dinglefritz]

It's interesting that everybody is skipping over where Stai talks about liking the cohesiveness and chemistry that NOT rotating O linemen helps. He stated a couple of years ago on the radio that it really took "the pipeline" and even his pro team lines 4-5 games to gel.

I would agree with his sentiments. I really don't believe O'Line rotations are common, outside of blowouts or injuries.

If the defense gets a stop we also win those games. Offense got the lead. The defense needed to do it's job.

I wonder if Bo called Els. I'd like to think he didn't but I have to admit it is something he would do. "Ross I saw what you said about me you MF C$:&;&(@!!"

Either that or it comes down to the fact that Mr. Banderas will never be called upon to provide a reference for Ross and and some point Pelini will. Pretty sure it came down to that.

Nonsense. There are narratives to be bandied about!!!

Spot on.

Sipple doesn't seem to be able to grasp simple concepts and move on, while on the air. DB was pointing out how disappointing the 2011 Recruit Class was, because it was ranked 15th in the country and yet only three players turned into full-time starters and Sipple wouldn't accept that. He went on and on, saying that other players contributed, but Benning's point was simply that you'd expect more than three starters out of that class.

Sipple wouldn't let go, in a half argument type of way, that became so irritating that I had to turn it off.

On the radio this morning, Sipple couldn't even grasp the concept of there being a lot of competition for the starting OL positions this year.

Thats exactly what it is. Unsurprisingly coming from the guy who defended Pelini to the bitter end.

Sipple is worthless.

My opinion has always been Bo was great against the pass happy teams and had great schemes to defend them or confuse them but when it came to run teams like Wisconisn or Iowa then his weakness was exposed. Banker and the staff seem good against the run but has troubles against the pass teams (almost reverse roles now). Giving Banker credit we did have some slow CBs this year and wasn't the talent needed to run his pass defenses. Now that he gets A Anderson, E Lee, A Williams, Dismuke, L Jackson, Bootle and T Butler to upgrade his CBs, SS and FS maybe we will see a lot better DB coverage. But how much of pass defensive issues come from the Dline getting very minimal pass rush?

IMHO the talent upgrades in the secondary are important, but not as important as better linebacker play. Many, many times last year busted coverages were due to the linebackers improperly picking up and handing off route runners.

Linebackers had little to do with defending passes to the boundary. No pass rush and slow corners still learning the system had everything to do with it.

the back 7 as a group was poor
the LBs were late getting to their drops, didn't get deep enough to provide effective underneath coverage, and did a poor job of recognizing/reacting to receivers entering their zones

 

[anon_umk0ifu6vj6zi]

He is still defending Blo. The other day he made it a point to say he agrees with Bo that it is worse to coach here than anywhere else. All because of media scrutiny and fan attention. The idiot is a member of said media.... you can't fix stupid. And Siphole continues to be proof of that.

A smart media guy would just say "maybe it's best that Bo is gone. The "fit" was never right. Bo disliked the glare of the spotlight and it doesn't burn any brighter than Lincoln." Does he think Saban or Harbaugh hates the spotlight? It was there before Pelini got here. The job wasn't any tougher than advertised. Bo just wanted it his way and bitched when it wasn't.

 

[leodisflowers]

I wonder how long it will be until we don't mention Bo anymore? I get it, but lets move on. Like him, hate him, do whatever, but it's annoying talking about him. He's moved on, we should too.

 

[timnsun]

Im guessing we stop talking about Bo when we turn the ship around. Like it or not, he did a lot of damage to this program that people aren't happy about, and he still gets called out for.
