The notion that it is blasphemy to critique coaching is just absurd. Not even Nick Saban is above critique. There have been many highly questionable moves this year.

Yep, I'm pretty sure Brian Kelly heard it from the fans and media after completely botching the Northwestern game by going for a 2-point conversion.

It has been more apparent this year with a weaker team coming back. I feel like Carey has grown and developed this year just like the team has. This will start a **** storm but I believe he handled the QB situation about as well as he could given what he had to work with. That was a really tough one to figure out. I am probably in the minority here but he had no QB stand out during fall camp and eventually settled on Hare who was the right choice. For all it's weaknesses this team has tremendous heart and that is a reflection of the coaches. It is a miracle that this team is 9 - 2 but they've done it. Both Hare and Carey have a chance to take a big step up next year and if they do watch out, our team could be nasty. Also, Carey seems to be killing it on the recruiting trail. Overall I think he's done a great job.

This is right on the money. The only thing that was confusing to me was moving McIntosh to safety, but I think at that point he had decided on Hare being the clear starter moving forward, which has turned out to be the correct move.

If Hare takes a step forward next year, NIU could be nasty.

This entire team, including Hare, has grown on me immensely the last few weeks. There's something admirable about how gutsy of a group it is. It's not always pretty, but more times than not it's been effective.

Also, after seeing all those videos that Ohio Multi-media does, it makes me wonder why NIU can't do similar things. We the coaches corner and the monty minute, etc...But I haven't seen a video preview of any of our games this year, and if they have been out there I don't think they are doing a great job of communicating them.

I'm with you on the videos. Athletics hasn't put out any locker room celebration videos this year.

Yeah, I used to love watching those. Sometimes they'd even let you see the speech before the celebration. Good stuff.

RE: Huskie Wire's Nitz Comments on treatment of Carey by Fans
I like Carey, in fact, I really am starting to like him He is squezzing everything out he can get, good 4th quarter play calling for the most part, and I can tell he cares. When we lost this year, I could tell he was pissed, and I like that. I am a fan. I think the OC needs a little help... just saying, some of the calls are bizarre, and why we aren't running more plays from days past is beyond me, but they more than I do, and the watch pratice.

What drives me crazy about this team is the offense. When they have to score they do, when there is a sense of urgency they don't waste possessions. Why that sense of urgency cannot carry through every possession is really frustrating. Its fine against the Miami's, Kent's, and Ohio's of the world, but its hard to beat good teams like that.

I agree, it is a clicky bunch, when they decide to go after it, it happens... thank God.

Gotta give Cole props for calling the Screen Pass to Daniels that went for a TD. That was a thing of beauty. Perfect execution.

Same thing with the first boot we've ran since Kill was here on the game clinching first down.

RE: Huskie Wire's Nitz Comments on treatment of Carey by Fans
While anyone can micro analyze every play, I still think coaches have lapses. If Maddie comes in last games, turns the ball over, this is a thread that doesn't exist.

However, coaching has vastly improved since last EMU game. Even in close games I still had the feeling NIU was in control.It wasn't each play one was waiting for blown coverage, terrible play call and a missed fg. Now it's plays ARE being made, such as great play to cause and recover the fumble last game. If they played remotely to the way they played vs. Miami, Kent, CMU, EMU...this team does not win last 3 in my eyes. They seemed to have improved, even if a little, on many levels. No matter who has played, they seem game ready.At least more than the opponent, who sometimes don't.

And while they are all xp other than one fg, it is nice to see them actually made, down the middle. Coaching and talent evaluation.

Call it figuring the team out, growing into whatever you want. The team has played better.

From today's Trib, Grading Tuesday's Perfornance - Northern Illinois:

A- Coaching Rod Carey makes sure his team does not look past any opponent en route to the marquee matchups. However, continuing to insert backup quarterback Anthony Maddie for occasional series seems to disrupt the offensive rhythm.

RE: Huskie Wire's Nitz Comments on treatment of Carey by Fans
Carey is a little like Kill - don't feel he is the warm fuzzy type, decent guys but not the friendliest. Doreen and Novak have/had a better public personality and were generally morel likeable people. 1981 mention Carey's recruiting may even match Kill's (highest standard) I tend to agree. Looking at the 2015 class, IMO if the OLINE recruits hold it will be the best group of incoming OLINE in NIU history.

Love the 14' class -how they found that DT Compton from JC was solid, the Dbs a solid group with a star or 2 in there, the other Lineman both O & D. We are waiting on offensive firepower if its there in Qb & WR. Carey and NIU can recruit.

Huskie Wire's Nitz Comments on treatment of Carey by Fans
I think it's hard to compare kill to Carey. Carey is recruiting off of an orange bowl team and a team that was 1 win away from another bcs game. To me the jury is still out on who is the better recruiter but if I had to pick jerry "the recruiting machine" kill still has my vote.

Novak got the program out of obscurity. Kill brought the program to national recognition with his recruits. It remains to be seen how Carey's kids will fare. It's too early to tell - we're just speculating right now. At least Carey can sell facility upgrades and a BCS bowl appearance, so he has a recruiting advantage his predecesors didn't have.

You know what also interrupts offensive rhythm? Making the defense play. Maybe they should change the rules to "make it/take it" so that super important rhythm won't be disrupted.
