2021 BC Football

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

i still think that stinks and look forward to mo'j talking about mr glass and how no qb would possibly come here until not only jurk has moved on to the nfl, but also until his legacy has cleared and bc is no longer considered "jurk college" like those that had to follow flutie and ryan and even foley to some extent.

Glenn Foley was a better college quarterback than Matt Ryan. There, I said it.

i don't disagree, but matt got more press than glenn - and i was referring to someone that would be fearful to back up jurk because of not being able to live up to the reputation left behind, much like crane and cesspool had to with ryan.

and my comment is mostly snark aimed at those that say we can't get a player to possibly come to campus because glass phil has displayed such a stranglehold on the position in the handful of games he was able to participate in before getting broken

[Corporal Funishment]

when your qb cannot complete a pass beyond 10 yards it sort of limits what you can do as an offense

That's right. Grosel needed to hit at least a couple of those open bombs, and he didn't do it. Louisville was the abyss, a vulnerable defense that put 9 on the LoS and dared BC to beat them over the top.

I was a huge optimist this season before Jurkovec was hurt, and still had hoped Grosel could manage through the thin margin of error to give Jurkovec reason to come back in November. Obviously that hasn't worked out; HJS and others were right about Grosel's limitations being so damaging.

I don't go on BCInterruption much but saw this guy "BC Eaglekeeper" claiming Menard and Morehead are taking the first-team snaps in practice this week. Was he one of the EA Merrymen? He almost sounds like BC PR, but if in fact he's plugged in and reliable on facts then maybe it will be one/both of these two. Maybe a downfield package for Morehead and Menard otherwise? Who knows?

I heard that Menard and Moorehead got all of the 1st team reps at practice today. If Hafley was sticking with Grosel he would have said so. He has only decided to make a change at this point. Who it will be depends on how they preform in practice this week.

I'm going to say on the record I doubt that Grosel got demoted directly to 3rd string.

if it's the same eaglekeeper that posts here - he's the one that demanded we fill in the corners to grow the number of empty seat in the stadium and suggested we add holograph machines to make the atmosphere more cool.

he may be connected to the program but i believe him to be a young person and therefore not a merryman

Thanks. It's really hard to remember who all the different involve .

I think the deal with Hafley is that he vowed to be a positive guy. Which is what has always worked for him. Will help in recruiting, and retaining talent in the program. If he has vowed to go to battle with a guy, he would view it as a knee jerk decision to quickly turn about and go in another direction on flimsy evidence that results will be better. It's exactly the kind of move that he's probably witnessed as an assistant, and watched firsthand as the respect throughout the program evaporated. He's probably thinking that parents and players are watching how he handles this very carefully. Not saying sticking with Grosel is the right move, but I think it is who Hafley is. And it's not because he's older, or more experienced. It's because he made the commitment to him.

I do believe that Hafley makes the tough decisions in the offseason. And therefore, the fact that our offensive coaches are getting outcoached the last two weeks so badly, that is possibly going to show up in the offseason. As we all know, Clemson and Vrenables showed a way to shut down BC/Grosel. NC state and Louisville doubled and tripled down on it, and it worked out for them. Syracuse is clearly coming out with the same plan A. Of course, if we somehow some way complete two deep passes to Zay or another WR in the 1H, and get points on the back of it, this will change everything. I'm personally not guessing that happens. Even if we get it right in this game, the offensive woes will probably return in the following weeks. BC doesn't appear to be headed for 7 or 8 wins. And therefore Cignetti (maybe Gunnell and Dailey too) may be gone in the offseason. It's complicated because of the Jurk/Cignetti relationship. But Cignetti is showing Hafley that he isn't able to adjust and come up with fixes against the same game plan, when all that happened is he lost one player, and has NFL talent amongst the rest of the offense. Not impressive! Hafley is going to be here for longer than some feared, and he needs an OC that can adjust to tougher circumstances than this.

This is an absurd take. Cignetti came out against Clemson with the precise game plan to beat what they were doing. It was executed like shit. Not sure what you think he can call to fix having a DIII spread option QB.

This team is 0-3. That is a failure. Hafley is a first time head coach and the staff (outside Cignetti) are largely young and it is their first times in their roles. Mistakes will happen. What they learn from this mess is what matters.

The question is what is the actually failure that they should learn from. Was it not properly planning and developing depth at a crucial position that starts an injury-prone player? Was it waiting too long to move on from a starter that clearly wasn't performing? Was it failing to realize that a young player was more than capable? Was it not recreating a scheme to hide a players obvious deficiencies? Was it not buying enough bubble wrap for the starting QB? Or was it, as mircro would suggest, agreeing to take the transfer of a player so talented that he obliterates all attempts to find his replacement for a Chernobyl-like period?

Pretending that there isn't a problem or pretending that there was nothing they could do is about the only ways you could make this season worse.

I need a translation on this flaming hot take. I can't decipher how it is responsive to my post and whether it is for or against it. Little help.

The monkeys on typewriters that HJS hired to write his Jurk fan fiction novel have completely run out of ideas, but HJS won't let them stop typing so the quality of the text is in steady decline.

So we span generations here? I guess claver's a millenial. Do recruits still read these boards?

[HJS]

I wasn’t really responding to your point (though I agreed with it).

I took durkal’s post as trying to assign blame on playcalling. I don’t know where it lies. I do not think it is with Cignetti for repeatedly calling plays that should be TDs. I think it’s either that they ignored the position because Glass would never break or they woefully misjudged Grosel and the other 3.

[DomingoOrtiz]

Thoughts now that the season is over:
- I do not agree with the posters that claim JH could have brought in a stud transfer QB to backup Jurk. Also, I do not know what happen but DG was much better last season. We now know why Moorehead didn't start today and I hear the other 2 QBs are terrible.

- Even with Jurk, the only loss that defiantly would have been a win was Clemson.

- Our two weakest positions looking forward to this season were LB & DL. JH brought in IGM who is ok, but how can you not bring in transfer DTs and DEs who can start on this abominable DL. A transfer from UMass (not even sure he is on scholarship) is the best we could do at DE? WTF!

- The recruits aren't as good as many of us thought. Everyone of them came an inch or two shorter (maybe that is not the staff's fault because of wu-flu) and with the lack of talent on this team you would have thought more have them would be contributing.

- Injuries have really cost us this year, and not just Jurk.

- Applebaum needs to go. This was supposed to be one of the best OLs in the country and they have been terrible two years in a-row and the amount of false starts is disgraceful.

- The Bailey for Sinkfield trade has really worked out well. This is on Cignetti. I have seen enough of him.

- Was hoping for more from Woodbey.

Was Morehead's hairband again the reason the center snapped the ball to a different county? Are we still playing this game?

Meh. Lack of a QB impacts the way the rest of the game goes. I get frustrated desire to blame everyone, but it is misplaced.
