Who do they Hire?

Noel Mazzone or Dan Werner?

One of the 2 would be my bet

Of course the obvious fit is Kendal Briles .. on his quote along in the scandal at Baylor.

?Do you like white women.? Because we have a lot of them at Baylor and they love football players.?
There has never been a more OM quote than that.

Werner was a true Power trap Guy at Miami and his 1st go round at OM. His 2nd go round the was more spread but still run heavy, although he was running Freezes offense.

Werner's roots are I pro Power Trap.

I'm glad Longo's gone.

Main reason they had trouble in the Red Zone was that for all his talent, Tamaflu was a *****. Takes mental and physical toughness to get it in down close. If you leave a game because of a pinky, you are a puss.

Air Raid can score every play, I hope OM goes to a more physical style. That take's talent every where

I do think there is some justice in this happening before signing day. At least the OM commits are making a decision with the information

Gun at this present time Mingo would move us from 16th to 14th 247 ranking.

That plus WRs that apparently spent all their time learning the vertical game. 3 guys running go routes doesn't work with 10 yards of vertical space

Yep, and they are severely lacking up front.

He was going to be fired after signing day anyway.

Im willing to bet recruits knew about it. Mingo and others in his camp didnt like him anyway...FWIW

What us State fans don't understand is that for AJ to run all those NFL "get open" routes, he needs space to operate. Sure lesser offenses would do things like slants or fades that the QB can time up to score in the red zone, but OM won't dumb down their O to any level beneath a 100% pure NFL system, which of course is based on WRs "doing their own thing" and not having called plays. State fans don't have the football knowledge to understand this fine point

I'm really surprised (and pretty impressed) that 5-0 didn't throw more ints considering he and wr weren't always gonna be on the same page

PLEASE let him. Even if McIntire (sp?) is an average DC (and there's nothing in his resume to say he's a P5 DC, let alone a SEC one) he'll still be workign with 0 talent and will give up lots of yards. A bad D is always kryptonite to a run heavy O, since the run heavy O has to play from ahead to really work.

Plus, the only way OM will score 20+ is by heaving it and praying they make plays. 3 yards and a cloud of dust doesn't work when your OL is bad overall, has never been recruited for or coached on power running, and your RB is mediocre. They can't block well enough to do it. And even if they could wear down a D late and put points up, they won't have time to do that since the atrocious D will give up too many points.

In my opinion, they'd be better off sticking to their video game O. Sure competent D's will embarrass them, but if they can win the OOC games and catch Arky and Vandy's D's unable to stop them then they can go bowling. There's a 1% chance they go bowling if they try to be a run first team

My sources are telling me that OM is set to hire Francis McGriff, Wesley's little brother, who has an offense that scores on all defenses. We're screwed*****��

I agree. I think their offense gave them a chance to win 6 games by outscoring lesser opponents. At the same time they had two first round caliber WR's as well and that's enough a lot of times to cobble together six wins. They won't have that now so I have a feeling that even if they keep running something similar to what they have been they're likely to still struggle on offense.

I’ve heard a little about Espy’s “posse” from a couple of Madison friends. Would someone tell me what he is doing? Thanks.

No story, he's a big OM guy who works with and trains, some of the top athletes in the area.

He ain't gonna steer any to State, that's for sure.

Some may be too young to remember the Chris Spencer saga in madison county. Mama Espy closed that deal for the Rebs

Saw Mack Brown also picked up Brewster. Surprised Dan didn't try to snag him for UF.
