Ex-NFL coach coming to Fresno State?

This morning's St. Louis Post-Dispatch is quoting St. Louis Rams team sources as saying that Doug Nussmeier, the Rams' quarterbacks coach the past two seasons, is headed for Fresno State to become offensive coordinator.

The newspaper, in an earlier report, said the Rams would replace Nussmeier as quarterbacks coach with Terry Shea, but wasn’t clear on Nussmeier’s status.

My impression was Coach Pat Hill was going to take his time before committing to a new offensive coordinator! I sure hope Coach Nussmeier fits the need our team deserves!

Hope we have better offensive scheme this year. Let's get rid of the wide receiver screen once every series.

I agree Mando, Fresno tends to be way too predictable in its play calling. Give the O-Coordinator libery to open up the playbook. Who knows, they might end up beating someone other than Utah State. It's getting boring watching the same thing week in and week out. Good luck to whoever fills in.

you're both wrong, last year everything was different. The offense was extremely inventive and fun to watch. I guess you guys think 5 wide sets and running backs at quarterback is normal. Let's just hope things go as well as last year or even better offensively, cause if they do things should work out well.

What are you talking about sound-dude? We thumped K-state and Georgia Tech last year. Did you even watch any games last year? The offensive scheme was much improved when compared to 2006-2007.

Sorry, scumag and shayme, but the sarcasm I was using to say that we beat Utah State didn't come across the way I wanted it to. You can't have 5 wide and a running back unless you have 12 guys on the field. Plus even with 4 wide and a running back it does no good when you pass to Bear Pascoe all the time(predictable)I am aware that we beat K-State and G-Tech. But if you both remember, we actually were favored to beath those teams. Lee Corso said he expected us to destroy G-Tech. So, my point is we beat who we were suppose to and lost to who we were suppose to lose to. I'm glad we did(and i keep saying we because all true fans consider themselves part of the team). But what made Bulldog football exciting with Carr, and Berrian and all the others was that we beat some teams we were suppose to lose to. I fear we'll turn into a lower scale USC team by losing to WAC opponents much weaker than us, i.e. USC/Stanford. Now I'm not saying we're comparable to USC, because they do play a tougher schedule and have much better talent, but the point is they choke, A LOT!
Go back and look at my post, it's all true. 1)The play calling is predictable (there's no debating that) 2)All offensive co-ordinators under hill have called the same plays(when was the last time the 'dogs exploited man coverages, taken advantage of defensive mis-matches or corners who play 10 yards off the receiver, or even thrown to our slot receivers who are covered by linebackers, is coach hill not aware of how fast Wiley is? 3)Lastly it's getting boring, we don't attempt to strecth the field (if the receivers bust a long YAC, that's about it). I'm glad they were trying something different with Smith last year at QB for some plays but even that was predictable, it was a draw for clifton virtually every time.
All I'm saying is give the O-coordinator some freedom. Otherwise, a trained monkey could call the plays.

Where do some of these people come from? Our offensive scheme won the game against Georgia Tech. At game time Tech's defense was rated 11 in the country. We scored 40 points.Mando, the-sound-dude do you know anything about football? You guys are a joke.Fresno won nine games last year. Where do some of these people come from?

so, i don't want to keep arguing with you guys cause this could go on forever. so this will be my last reply, plus we're all rooting for the 'dogs. but i think you guys are being fooled by the W's. The win is what you play for, and yes we did win 9 games, and it was a good turn around from the previous season. I'm agreeing with you guys on that. but there's more to it than that. look at the hawaii game last year, we lost that game because of our "scheme". we stuck to our base 4-3 defense against some of the fastest wideouts in the country. so, yes our scheme did win us some games, but it also cost us some. the boise, hawaii and texas a&m (and yes i know about all the drama that went down in the end of this game) games could all have been a win. but you know what killed it???? "SCHEME" the 'dogs were just too predictable. that's all i'm saying, if the o-coordinator mixes it up a little imagine how many more wins we could have had. and if i'm wrong and it is so exciting THEN PLEAS ANSWER THIS QUESTION...WHY IS BULLDOG STADIUM SO EMPTY FOR HOME GAMES AND WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME WE HAD A SELL OUT?

Press Mute on the sound-dumbie!
I am gonna break it down so that it can never be broke again...
Sound Dumbie Bulldog Stadium is "empty because of crap like Stacey Johnson Klien, Welty, Shirley, Tark, Lopes, Campus Pointe, The Housing crisis, and last years football performance.
Hell even Pat Hill knows they stunk it up last year...Remember he took the Stickers off the helmets?
Attendance is not down because of the offensive scheme anymore that people are coming to games because of the Academic Gameplan! People want to see teams win and they want to see them do it the right way.
I expect that this years dogs will sell more tix and win a 10th game.
A victory over UCLA would be great and it should not be expected...WE ARE VISITING a PAC-10 team and playing in the GRAND DADDY of them all the THE ROSE BOWL!
Try and be positive sound dumbie
