Housewright Interview w/Flores

[LTown Cat]

Not sure what to think…discuss

[wbtfg]

Similar to two years ago. At least he wasn't wearing a Nike hoodie when he gave his cringy interview this time around.

Too cool for school Housewright. Can’t wait until they move in from that clown. Tired of seeing him look like a bum on the sidelines. Tired of his ****** doesn’t stink attitude.

Good on Flores for digging in on this. Just wish he would’ve hit him up about his DUI night.

[mslacatfan]

The obvious question- wtf is going on behind the scenes with chambers?

He makes it sound like it’s something he can’t talk about…?

I’m not a big fan of hiusewright.

[MountainCat]

Housewright is a clown… Plenty of blame on the players but NOT ONE mention of self accountability or potential for him to call better plays suited to the players. Such a classless ass. The dude has an extraordinary amount of swag for a coordinator whose offenses have folded far too often on the biggest of season stages.

I had hope going into this weekend! After that interview I have little. I’ll wait till after this weekend to comment further.

Snow job was my first take

I think he mentioned a couple times that it's on the coaches to get the players in the best position to win.

"Yeah, for whatever reason we moved the ball and we got down in the red zone and completely screwed up for a bunch of different reasons. Obviously, it's on us as coaches to figure out why and fix it, and we feel like we're trying to do that."

"Obviously as a coach, you want to look at the play calls and all that and take the blame for the players because they played their butts off. But it was kind of out of sync, out of whack. It was interesting."

I'm not putting Housewright on a pedestal, nor am I slamming him. I think the result of Saturday's game will say a lot about where this offense is at.

If Vigen doesn't replace both the OC and DC this offseason then I can't see how he is the right man for the job.

[Grizfan7]

"TH: Well, everything comes down to blocking and catching and tackling, and we didn't do those things very well, for whatever reason. So we've worked on the blocking, we've worked on the catching and trying to get athletes in space and see what they can do, and just continue to do what we do. That's worked before. And trying to be more consistent, that's what we need. Leadership and consistency is probably the biggest thing that we lack at times.

TH: Yeah, for whatever reason we moved the ball and we got down in the red zone and completely screwed up for a bunch of different reasons.

Ten guys doing their job and one guy not doing his job. Obviously as a coach, you want to look at the play calls and all that and take the blame for our players because they played their butts off. But it was just out of sync, out of whack. It was interesting.

406: Anything you can explain and as far as why the passing wasn't as good in this game as others?

TH: Just timing. I think passing’s all about timing and matchups, and I felt like we didn't have it for whatever reason and got in some situations where we had to throw the ball, whether it's pressure, whether it's play call, whether it's execution, kind of all the above, not just one thing."

[Isn't passing also about throwing accurate passes and catching the ball? I don't know anything about the OC, but he's not very articulate.]

[MSU01]

Similar to two years ago. At least he wasn't wearing a Nike hoodie when he gave his cringy interview this time around.

Here's hoping MSU's playoff run is also similar to two years ago. Housewright does not appear to be head coaching material with his interview style, but personally I'll wait and see how the offense plays ion Saturday before calling for his job.

[ECBobcat]

Well, that interview (especially when considered with the 2021 interview) has confirmed all my suspicions.

“Help Wanted: NEW OC.”

[rivercat]

What BN would have liked to hear:

"Chambers will be starting QB with Mellott, Davis and Elliot in the diamond formation."

Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, the goal was to give absolutely no information on the Bison game plan.

I’m not a big fan of hiusewright.

Did they mention something behind the scenes with Chambers? I don’t think I can bring myself to listen to it, I have disliked him immensely since his first interview.

[SparkCat]

‘Leadership and consistency is probably the biggest thing that we lack at times.’

Well Taylor, maybe you should start by being a leader on and off the field.

The way this loser dodges accountability for poor game day coaching, to include attire, and actions, reflects to how he handles accountability off the field, attempts to cover it up. He’s a child that cannot be trusted.

No. Housewright simply refused to comment on Chambers and how he has been used, which I personally have zero problem with when MSU is still active in the playoffs and may not want to discuss publicly if and/or how they plan to change his role moving forward.

Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, the goal was to give absolutely no information on the Bison game plan.

I for one wasn't looking to hear that Chambers is starting and they would run the diamond formation, and I didn't want him to give any part of the game plan.
But the things he did say and how he said them were so uninspiring and disappointing that my opinion of him is even lower than before reading that interview. To use his own words, the man is "just out of sync, out of whack" and no I don't find him interesting.

The last sentence from the interview was, "We scored a lot of points doing it the way we've done it so far this year." I would like to point out to him that scoring 16,21, and 7 points against the 3 best teams the Cats have faced so far this year wasn't enough and that NDSU is as good or better than 2 of those teams. Bottom line is they're going to have to do better and more than they did in those 3 games. If he isn't aware of that now he will be by the end of the game on Saturday.

People have been getting extremely spoiled/arrogant/disrespectful on this board/twitter/etc.
House/Vigen/anyone associated with bobcat football does not owe us any answers for anything, not why some one didn’t play much, not why certain plays were called and not specifics on injuries.
The fact that we are calling for coaches jobs after an 8-3 year and a first round bye is RIDICULOUS.
Be better, be a truly supportive fan.

If my boss is a tool, I'm not going to be supportive of them. If my sibling is a tool, I'm going to call them out. If the owner of a restaurant I like is a tool, I'm not going to support that restaurant any longer. Why should this be any different? His offensebaveraged 40 PPG, so being a tool is ok?

Yeah…, I don’t agree with you on this at all. Leadership and accountability are in decline with this program. I’m not encouraged after reading this interview.
