When does Manning become a liability?

[Clonefan94]

Granted the D was **** today, but let’s not float past the fact that without Breece making out of his ass runs and Kolar and Breece being super human, this O would be ****. That was proved today as we were basically shut down against a bad TTU team.
The guy needs to go. With the talent we have this year, it’s a ******* joke this guy is still allowed to call plays.

What?? Heacock was the problem not Manning?

OLine coach has gotta go too. I keep hearing how he’s a good coach but the line has always been booty.

Clearly we could move the ball well passing down field. Why it took him an entire half to figure that out is beyond me.

@Jeremy and I have been calling for his firing for years. People just can’t see how much he holds this team back with his predictable play calling and his useless motion. David Montgomery breaking tackles every play in the back field and making something out of nothing, Breece always looking to bounce outside after another run call up the middle, and Purdy making something out of an almost constant nothing has made him look decent to people. Next season if Breece leaves he will be exposed big time and everyone will finally see how bad he is.

The motion and slow pace of play is Campbells philosophy. So only way we get rid of those is Campbell leaving.

I’ll never understand the constant passes 2-8 yards in front of the first down line on 3rd down. It’s infuriating.

Breece is NFL bound. No reason for him to come back at this point.

Manning's play calling is the football equivalent of Prohm's play calling.

Hopefully he gets the record at least.. thats the only bright spot on offense so far..

 

[Darius Bieber]

His playcalling was always a liability. We just always had playmakers to cover up his ineptitude. Lazard, Butler, Montgomery, Hall, Kolar, etc

That’s the always the problem. A day late and a dollar short. Seems our talent on O makes his shortcomings less evident. I mean trying to make Purdy a pocket passer is one of the the biggest mistakes in college football, ever, right?

 

[CyGuy5]

He is so stuck in his ways, and completely refuses to change until it’s too late. Not to mention his playcalling inside the 30 just completely falls apart.

I also blame him for Purdy’s lack of development as he’s taken away a lot of runs. Our offense flows so much better when Purdy gets outside the pocket and runs, but Manning has taken that away.

Next year when we don’t have a high level of talent to cover up his ineptness we are screwed.

It’s not just Manning. Matt Campbell has checked out and will take some other job. Thus dishonoring his promise to win this conference

 

[cyclo120]

Manning deserves criticism but when’s the last time anyone here has been happy with an offensive coordinator? I haven’t looked at the numbers but to the naked eye the worst play calling by far in the Campbell era was the year he was gone.

Give me a break. That is not a coach that is checked out. Ffs.

Yeah this isn’t another BS 6-6/7-5 team that he complains about.

He certainly won't make the same mistake as his teammates did this year

Isn’t this kind of like saying our worst special teams years under Campbell were when we didn’t have a special teams coach? It’s been Manning or no one. You can’t tell me no one in the country wouldn’t be willing to come to ISU and prove what they can do. There is a reason he didn’t stay in the NFL.
