I never really looked at a kicker/punter's performance as a direct reflection on the ST coach. Those players tend to either have it or they dont and work on their own technique/mechanics. Thats on Borregales to hit those. I do however look right at the ST coach when it comes to kickoff/punt coverages/protection, penalties, personnel decisions. So based on that, yeah, Patke can receive his pink slip. Oh, then there is that whole minor linebacker problem too.Kid has some work to do.
Patke also needs to be shown the door.
Well ya know most players regress under Manny and his staffHe’s a true freshman and one of the least of Miami’s problems.
I did think his KOs were a bit weak. Wasn’t he kicking them into the endzone earlier in the season?
33 yarder, straight away?I believe his misses are from the middle of the field. He is money for the hashes. Patke should know this.
He makes that kick v VA if it’s set on the hash.
Sure. Who isn‘t holding AB accountable for missing a few make-able FGs?33 yarder, straight away?
He's got to make that kick.
I'll say it again....
The coaches have to go, but can the players be just a little bit accountable?
We are 6-3 and in the drivers seat in the ACC coastal if he makes an easy FG against VA. FastsSure. Who isn‘t holding AB accountable for missing a few make-able FGs?
The people who are using his misses to argue Patke should be fired.Sure. Who isn‘t holding AB accountable for missing a few make-able FGs?
Then I agree with you.The people who are using his misses to argue Patke should be fired.
Do you want to cut him? Play his backup?We are 6-3 and in the drivers seat in the ACC coastal if he makes an easy FG against VA. Fasts
I was wondering yesterday if that was by design. Patke expecting the coverage to tackle them inside the 25.He’s a true freshman and one of the least of Miami’s problems.

Yeah i noticed that too. Usually it's in the end zone but this game i think were 3 that were returned.He’s a true freshman and one of the least of Miami’s problems.

He missed a chip-shot vs Michigan State. Wide left, like the two he missed hitting the left upright. Something he needs to work on.Yeah i noticed that too. Usually it's in the end zone but this game i think were 3 that were returned.
Also and not related to what you said, i believe his onky two misses both hit the left goalpost. From my non special teams amateur bowling days, i'd line him up closer to that left hashmark so he'd have to kick a bit to the right (as opposed to lining him up head on and the kick drifting to the left.
Huerta was probably the best clutch kicker we've ever had. It's like comparing every safety we sign to Sean Taylor.Huerta as a freshman executed a successful onside kick and kicked the game winning FG against Michigan. He also kicked the game winning FG against Arkansas.
Play calling sucked but he should have made a 32 yard field goal. The scared *** play calling prior did him NO favors but he should have made the kick.I believe his misses are from the middle of the field. He is money for the hashes. Patke should know this.
