QB Cardale '12 Gauge' Jones (B1G Champion, National Champion)

I don't have 90 minutes to watch the clip.. but I read there is something very interesting in this clip about what Cardale had to say about Tim Beck.. can someone shed light?
Said Beck only called offense twice that year (Maryland and scUM) and more or less it was Warriner who called the shitty games.

Also noted that they devised their game plans by predeteemining how many touches each player would get.

He didn't 'more or less' say anything about Warinner. He said "he isn't a good play caller in my opinion." lol. And he clearly has a lot of respect for Beck.

Also---maybe not the most surprising bit of info---but I don't think he and Urban were super close based on how he talked about their relationship. One thing he mentioned was that he was upset---like I remember a lot of us here were---that he didn't get put in the game at all against ttun and notre dame.

Longest I've ever listened to a podcast. Cardale was brilliant. I tuned in for the info on the 2015 coaching, but wound up listening to the whole thing. I also really liked how Beanie and Boom didn't try to talk over him and let him do his thing. I'll be checking them out again.


the podcast with devier posey, mike adams, donald washington and the one with Eric Lichter were both excellent as well

The QB play undoubtedly regressed under Beck, whether calling the plays or not, he was atrocious. He also played a huge part as the "passing game coordinator" which was pathetic when you watched the routes.
Meh. Beck was not a big component in a positive but really wasn’t the true problem either. Meyer changed offensive philosophy twice inside of 12 months and Warriner was more of an influence than Beck. Fans wanted an easy target because they somehow felt we’d just roll through 2015 after how we ended 2014. But of course it wasn’t the same team for so many reasons and team cohesion was spotty. Beck didn’t help matters but he was the scapegoat for fans because they wanted an easy target to blame rather than acknowledging the difficulties of motivation to repeat plus Meyer’s own shortcomings. Meanwhile folks thought Warriner was tits back then because our line play had improved after Tress left. 2015 played out the way it did for a multitude of factors. Beck played some role in it, but nowhere near what fans crucified him for. Cardale knows this.
