    Kellen Moore for HC. OC for Cowboys, young, and will run a similar player development program. Will keep D staff ex Lake/Gregory.

    It's high time Washington hire a Latino.

    Isn’t it kind of a paradox to say that Pete doesn’t have the passion for coaching but also cares enough to maintain his death-grip on the offense?

    Maybe what I am really trying to say is he doesn't have the passion for winning that he used to. Does he still get pissed off and livid at screwups on the sideline? I checked out a few weeks ago, so no idea.

    Personal development and turning boys into men through his methods seems to take priority in 2019.

    IMO he has the look of a man that thought he had the perfect system and then once it started all collapsing in on itself he has no idea how to fix it and knows it.

    Two comments. First the offense. If Pete is not going to give up control then it is a waste of time and money to fire Hamdan. If he is willing to give up control I would immediately go to the staffs of both Oklahoma and LSU and look at whoever is immediately under their OC and consider them. They both probably have QB coaches who are indoctrinated into those highly successful offenses and possibly ready to make the step up to OC. I think that is a realistic approach and option.
    Now the defense. I'm going against the grain here in saying I don't care if Jimmy Lake wants to go. His recruiting is good not great. There are some techniques that i see in his DB's that drive me up the wall so there's that. But mostly it's the defensive philosophy. Since he has become DC all the talk has been about DBU. I hate it. Great defenses are built from the front back not the reverse. I want to be front 7 U. Great front 7's can make a mediocre secondary look good but the opposite just doesn't work. Since Jimmy came in there's much more of a bendable defensive philosophy and I'm done with it. I'm 100% fine with Coach K coming back at DC and letting Harris coach DB's. If he hasn't picked up Jimmy's teachings by now then he can go to.

    be a better poaster

    Yeah, what we need is another Boise try-hard.

    On reflection I'm not liking my suggestion of looking into the staffs of LSU and Oklahoma for a possible Bush replacement. Your offense has to fit the skills of your QB. All the good college offenses have QB's with some degree of mobility. Hurts, Herbert, Tua, Burrow while not run first can escape the pocket and get a few positive yards. Eason and our next likely, Sirmon, are both essentially statues so building an offense similar to those other programs is unlikely to work. I can't really think of any good college offenses that have statue QB's. Ironically Oregon State is probably the first to come to mind. I'm one of the few who wants to give Bush another year. If so I'd have him take a look at what OSU is doing. I'll tell you they don't do any of that stupid WR screen shit. The only other idea I have is look at what has been a pretty successful offense over the years in the NFL with a statue QB in Brady. That's a pretty wide divergence admittedly in the Beavers and the Patriots but they both move the ball with immobile QB's. Of course this is all based on the assumption that Pete loosens the death grip on the offense.

    Agree on matching the system to your current and likely future qbs, but a big WTF on keeping Bush for another year. He literally called a game where he called run plays into run blitzes for 3 1/2 quarters. That is a special kind of stupid we don’t need for another year.
