Here's what I think of Moorhead though. The guy was universally acclaimed by the college football world as an offensive guru. You don't get the level of praise he got and either a) be a phony or b) suddenly forget everything. I'm afraid that what they meant was "he has a brilliant offensive system" and we took it as "he's going to be highly successful with any personnel and can adapt to anything." Which means I think he can be successful if given a few years and if he's capable of recruiting the players he needs for his system. I think that Fitz is a poor fit in his offense, and I think that years of poor OL and WR recruiting is coming back to bite us. To make up for his inability to recruit talent at OL, Mullen had to get guys that were pretty much specialized to his system and our WRs flat out suck aside from Guidry (who still has more than a few drops this season). I'm disappointed that Moorhead is unwilling or unable to adjust more to Mullen's system, but whether or not he does get enough time to do what he wants is dependent on him figuring out how to adjust for this year, then either molding Key or Mayden into what he wants in a QB or praying that Schrader is ready to roll as a true freshmen. And again, actually being able to recruit the players he needs.
I don't think our pseudo-sociologists are correct in saying "southern kids just need to be yelled and cussed at more than them northern folk" and I sure as hell don't think there is a scenario where we should fire him this season aside from unforeseen scandal or maybe if we were to not win another game this season.
