Joe say run plays are explosive and fancy........
Had look that one up. Napier played for his dad at Murray County HS, and they were pretty dang good in the mid-late 90s under them - won 3 Region titles in 10 years in AAA, one with Billy as QB. That was tough region back then with Dalton, Cedartown, & the Whitfield county schools
With the all time leading rushing QB in the SEC, a RB who ran for over 1,000 yards the year before, and two Oline that are starting in the NFL this year. Jenkins right now is statistically the best interior Olineman in the NFL. It is Croom level offensive coaching in 2018 with that talent. We could have probably ran 15-20 different plays and won at least 10 games as long as we ran the read option and not the bullshit RPO that Joe wants to run.
No we couldn?t. But Napier was fired at Clemson because he went to power formations and got away from the spread passing game that Dabo wanted. He and Dabo got into it over it and Dabo repeatedly changed the offensive calls. Now, everyone can say Napier was only 30, but he?s doing the same things at ULL. He?s just in a conference where he can get away with it.
There?s concern with him in regards to his ability to create a quality passing attack. All coaches will have concerns. But if Cohen believes we need a passing game (we do), then I question this direction. There are no “Homeruns” for us.
We aren’t looking for a quality passing attack. We aren’t interested. That’s not what we will ever be at State. And all these teams doing it now.....guess what? They will all be going back away from it soon. It’s what happens in football. They will be forced to change back.
Disagree. If 7 wins a year is your goal, then great. But to advance, our offense must advance as well. Football has become more of a passing game. That’s not changing anytime soon. And if OM can recruit good WRs, there’s no excuse for us. Hell, most HS teams in MS now run the spread. Look at all the MS kids we missed on at WR.
Wow I'm sold. Go get him
The year before when he was OC they scored more points in their history, at that time. They definitely had a bad 2nd year, no question and it was the right move by Dabo. But you can find a bad year for nearly every coach like that. Growth happens and he is doing what his personnel dictates at ULL. That’s a positive not a negative like you make it out to be. He threw a lot more at ASU.
The home run hire is a false measuring stick. Chip Kelly was the home run hire for UCLA 2 years ago...doesn’t mean jack until games are played. We don’t need home runs right now. We need a consistent hitter who has power potential to stabilize the program. There are no guarantees...LSU wasn’t guaranteed the type of success when they hire Saban. He had only one good year at Michigan St. The rest were .500 years and his seat was getting warm. Dantonio did a much better job than Saban their. But Saban grew as a HC during that time.
Because they had no defense, primarily. And they lost one of those great WRs to injury. They scored in most games. They couldn’t stop anybody.
And I’m not for throwing it every down. But you have to have a legitimate passing game. We haven’t had much at all since 2015.
OM lost aj, Metcalf, Knox, little, Patterson, lodge, and 5-0 (5 drafted, 2 UFA) from last year's offense, and they're up to 5th in sec only games scoring from 10th last year by going to a run first offense
