Watching this Marshall game....

[Nashville Lion]

the thing that impresses me so far about Marshall is this. Purdue is stacking the line to stop Marshall's best player....running back Devon Johnson...who is an absolute beast. 6-3, 240 pounds and is just a bulldozer. Marshall adjusts their game plane to react to what Purdue's defense is doing. This is a good game...Marshall just the lead back in the 3rd quarter. I have no idea who will win but I appreciate the adjustments the coaching staff is making.
Our staff made zero adjustments. We have better players than Temple...but our coaches did not get our guys in the right position to win. The players have to accept some blame...the pick six was on Hack but our staff made no adjustments...no roll outs...no moving pocket...nothing to slow down the Temple blitz.

Purdue now with the lead....but marshall forces a punt. Good game.

I totally agree that it is coaching and the offensive scheme (which I do not even believe exists at this point in time)!
I am watching this same game and the QB's get the ball to a receiver within 2 seconds, very little attempts at long developing plays. You typically do those a few times a game but our staff appear to be in love with receivers running middle length routes all in the same area of the field and we have no release valve receiver.

What happens if your QB sucks at adjusting the scheme, recognizing what the defense is trying to do, reading the situation, changing into something that even has a remote hope of working, terrible with post-snap reads, decisions, etc... Whose fault is it then - e.g., when the QB utterly fails to execute against "max pressure, press defenses".....literally fails to do anything whatsoever or even act like he understands that you have to make immediate decisions and get the ball out immediately to have any hope against such defensive schemes....??? So do tell, what are the coaches to do when the QB lays continual turds against these types of defenses -- kind of like CH's performance against Temple last year: 12 of 26 for 112 yard, 2 INTs and 0 TDs???

Let's assume your theory, despite all eyeball evidence and logic to the contrary, is right - it's all the QB's fault.
So how do you explain the fact that the genius coaching staff never pulls him for even one play or is never even seen "coaching him up" on the sidelines? Do you think the top college coaches would just sit there in shock with their fingers up their butts?
This coaching staff has absolutely no clue whatsoever and that is the root of the problem.
Paterno, Bradley and BOB all did a lot more with even less. All plain-spoken men whose major deficiency was perhaps lack of recruiting interest and/or skills.
(I do give the current crowd credit for good recruiting of kids and great salesmanship to fans like you.)
Draft class ranks:
2015 - PSU #15, Temple #73
2014 - PSU #24, Temple #54
2013 - PSU #43, Temple #85
2012 - PSU #51, Temple #77
In that time, Temple has had just one (1) 4-star recruit.
That's coaching, even with Mickey Mouse at QB.
Next up, Buffalo. They are one of the worst teams in football. Their rankings out of about 125 teams are for the same years are #124, #108, #123, #122.
Assuming PSU wins, we will probably hear about the great comeback/ coaching job.

Sorry, no one can say that either Marshall or Purdue's qb is better than Hack, yet they both are playing way better. Coaching and offensive planning has to have something to do with it.

Yes, I agree Joe had a better QB coach.
