One thing about Dan's offense I never understood

I think it was a combo of just being ready to move on plus the OM factor. I know for a fact Mullen, Hev, and Gonzo hated dealing with OM in recruiting.

Can you blame Mullen on Ole Miss recruiting when you know your going to lose that battle the majority of the time? You and I both know if we ever started beating them in that capacity they'd set him up and turn him in. I think being a 1st time head coach in recruiting and tactics to be successful in MS was too much for him.

Maybe we were not creative from like you guys standpoint x and o’s but to me we just attempted more with the people I’ve named but something was always wrong with out teams as well.

Ok, preparation of big games, we always lost drastically and horribly, lose by a big margin. That is the most troubling thing truly. For 2 straight Dak years at bama it seemed we started each possession st the 10. Our punter shanked and we made no yards. Defense would hold start again from the 10. And we have one of the best punters in the league during this time,

Preparation

When up lack receivers who have the ability to adjust their routes on deep balls and actually go fight for the ball, any Qb?s deep ball accuracy will look bad. If you swap our receivers with OM over last 4-5 seasons, our deep accuracy would spike. Hell, all just about any OM QB does on 90% of their passes is heave it deep and let the WR go get it. We haven?t really had any of those guys. Bear was the closest thing due to his size, but he couldn?t really separate deep.

I think Moorhead is going to run a lot more high percentage crossing routes and that will help our WR, QB, and completion percentage. Throwing it deep will help too and I think we see that increase as well.

If Moorhead throws as much as some proclaim this board will have a damn meltdown.

His throws are simply an extension of the running game. Swing passes and screens. RPO?s are his bread and butter. If he had been coaching this team on 2017 we may have won 10-11 games and the west.
