Arnett
Just gonna tell what I have heard after a few days.
The offense is going to change a bit. It will still be Air Raid but not Leach Raid. Arnett is not the biggest fan of pure Air Raid. It wont be too crazy unless we magically find a TE/H body. And honestly Will is probably better in some RPOs (I know that is a hot word) than he is at pure air raid. He has done it since he was a Jr. The talks about him running Leaches offense his whole life was a myth. It was air raid plays not the air raid system. He will be fine.
Not much will change on defense. Someone will probably have to take over the safety spot and Hughes could easily do that. Brock could get a DC title for the raise but nothing much will change. And it shouldnt. The defensive staff has done a hell of a job.
As far as the OC, Spurrier is going to have to knock it out of the park to keep it. Spurrier is one of our best recruiters however so we will need to be prepared for him to leave if he doesnt get it. He has paid his dues. Hes gonna stay in the box and Hollingshead will probably signal in plays. But its all gonna go thru Will. We need to make sure we keep Mason Miller
Ryan Lindley could very well be the QB coach and Littrell is going to have to turn it down for us to find someone else.

Offense needs to morph a bit from the true air raid, but Leach was doing that slowly it appeared, with the increase in rushing production. So this sounds good. I'd love to see a TE mixed in on occasion to keep the defense honest and of course a QB that can run a bit. The think that worries me a bit is the play calling. It appears Leach was very good at it. That skill wins/loses ball games.
I'm not worried at all about the defense with Arnett in charge of the program.
Hail State!

I just dont know if we have anyone on the roster that would first of all want to play TE/H and then anyone that could play it

Lots of TEs in the portal

I think most of us pretty much figured the scheme would get adjusted a bit. And that's fine. We need an experienced play caller in my opinion. I think Seth Littrell as OC would be a major boost if we can get him.

He’s averaged anywhere from top 10 to top 30 offenses almost everywhere. He’s got some outlier years. But dude is a legit OC and had a top 20 offense this year.
To add. It was always going to change with a new guy AR or not. Leach is about the only pure Air Raid left.

If he's catching passes and gets back on the field he should be excited.

Yeah but it depends. TE/H is one of the hardest positions to play in football. Those guys are literally everything from a WR to a pulling guard

I figure we can get 2 in the portal and move Harmon there.

Not popular but I think Spurrier Jr should get the shot. He's got pedigree and he's going to get the chance somewhere.

Cool. Let him get it elsewhere. We don’t need a first time Head Coach and first time OC. Too big a risk at such a huge turning point in the program.

I think his replacement comes from the portal.

We need someone better. We have to find a dawg at X/Z. We didnt have one this year. RaRa was a lot like Malik Heath. Him leaving will give someone a chance to step up
