But this just sounds like you aren’t willing to move off your stance from the offseason that Bloesch had nothing to add as a teacher of QBs since he didn’t play the position. Aune’s footwork has looked much better this year and even the picks have mostly been losing track of a defender, not really due to poor mechanics. Look across the NFL and you’ll see a bunch of position coaches who did not play the position they are coaching. Some of the coaches who get credit for being among the best QB developers did not play QB. Andy Reid, Mike McCarthy, Brian Daboll, etc. These guys know what good form and technique looks like, but being able to effectively teach doesn’t require them ripping the ball 60 yards downfield.

You refuse to acknowledge any stat besides completion percentage which is the exact mindset that this post is regarding. People aren’t giving Bloesch credit as a QB coach bc they are so dug in on the stance that we should have hired a “real” QB coach. In the same way, you refuse to analyze Aune’s complete body of work and won’t move off of the completion percentage. A completion percentage that, to Bloesch’s credit and the original point of the post, is much improved. Aune is still 6th in the nation in TD passes, 20th in passer rating, and 10th in yards per attempt. His body of work this season is solid. You want to ignore everything except his completion percentage, that’s fine. But you’re mischaracterizing the point of the post which is that Aune’s numbers have taken a huge jump and his position coach deserves some credit for it. That was always the point of the post. It was never that Aune is some All-American QB.

I could be wrong, but I do think there’s a disconnect between what fans think is needed for him to keep his job vs. where Wren is actually setting the bar. I think Baker is looking for any excuse to keep him, not the other way around.

In addition to the scoring burden lifting off of him, I also think he’ll benefit from moving to a secondary ball handler role next to Perry. He’ll still fill that role in spurts but I think he’ll look better with not needing to be the only creator on the court.

I hope some of Blair, Shorter, Adeyi, Isaiah Johnson will be good to go, but I’m sort of expecting all of them to be held out Saturday. Winning this one without 3 of your 5 opening game OL starters, 3 of your 4 rotational backs, and your receiver who has 8 TDs would be very impressive.

Alex Cotton of Hebron expected to sign. We’ll see if any other surprise signees come in the next week.

Yeah I agree this particular gripe is way overblown. A few extra mop-up duty passes isn’t going to make a first-year starter look like a second-year starter, even if he went in and ran the full-throttle offense instead of a clock-eating one.

*guitar strums*

I agree with this as well. I said the same thing around the discussion of if Thompson should get in. This criteria was clearly not deemed necessary then, but I also wish that was the standard. Glad for Thompson that he got in, and I get sometimes QB can be a hard position to get all-conference if there are two really good ones, but it seems a little lacking for a player to make the Hall of Fame while not even being one of the best in the conference at their position.

Really?! Come on, man. It’s Tyler! Yeah, disappointing from Eady and Martinez, considering those are 4-year D1 players. Still, it’ll get better for them.

Lot of disappointing events tonight but I really did see why Mccasland compares Huntsberry’s game to Hamlet’s. Some of these fringe guys better do more to stake a claim to playing time while they have the chances with Perry and Jones out. I thought Moore earned some more look at playing time.

Hey! We have audio AND a score display on the YouTube broadcast

Yeah but that’s all that happens anymore. We don’t play true exhibitions anymore. Point being, not like this situation is unique to this season.

Technically we did have an exhibition against Mississippi State.

I just don’t understand how an adult who watches every UNT game can’t spell a 5-letter name of our most tenured player.

It’s weird that there was never an issue last season with these YouTube broadcasts. Disappointing.

Rubin! With an I! How are we still getting that wrong in his 3rd season with the team?

He would almost assuredly hold the record for single-season TD passes, be 3rd or 4th in career passing yards, 4th in career TD passes, 2nd in 300-yard passing performances, and he currently has the highest QB rating in school history as well as highest yards per attempt and completion. Not sure how you could induct Thompson but not Austin Aune, if he has a conference championship (which Thompson does not) and better stats.

Yes. 69.2% winning percentage. Was originally comparing to 2017 because that’s the season Fine set the records that were serving as the benchmarks to Aune’s current numbers, as it related to Vito’s comparison of their single-season statistics.

The 2017 team had a 64.2% winning percentage. The 2022 team currently has a 60% winning percentage.

Just one for Fine in 2017, I believe. Against Rice.

Aune has a better TD:INT ratio this season than Fine had the year he set the record for TD passes in a season.
