    I agree that Pete played a role in the WR rotation despite constantly hearing that the position coaches are in charge of that.

    That said, we only have the results of a position coach’s units to make judgements on. The WR group was a weakness all year. Adams was bad in year one. I don’t mind him getting another year and he deserves it because of his recruiting, but his group has to play better this year. If they don’t, he should be shown the door.
    Bachellia was a contributor at the end of the season last year because his speed and lack of size was utilized correctly (and sparingly). Using him as a #2 and the main homerun threat seems to me like an OC decision.

    Fuller I blame Adams much more for. You can't let a pencil-armed kid be your #1 receiver.

    Originally I would have agreed with this but I learned recently from "Sub K" on the BDTW podcast that the o line performance has nothing to do with the o line coach as long as he is recruiting well. In this case, poor o line performance is the fault of the running back coach and offensive coordinator. If, however, the o line coach is deemed a poor recruiter, then any deficiencies in o line production fall at his feet

    This is pretty much the bipolar analysis that BDTW is built on

    Lashlee would be a great hire. It’s not settling for Eason if you have a guy like Lashlee on the hook.

    That being said if Eason is gone anyway I agree it makes sense to wait a week and see if someone you like even more comes along. Risky though because Lashlee or whoever else was the guy might no longer be available.

    I’m just not sure I buy the Lashlee hype.

    He could be good ... but his comparable experience at Auburn did not go great.

    I think it’s a bit of a risk when you bring in somebody from a lower level

    Is there an example of a name as a good coordinator in a current position At a high level school that realistically would come here?

    This OC hire is no different than any other OC - the head coach remains responsible for the results

    Of course we will hate whoever gets hired. Until we don't.

    Agreed. Sometimes though it is just as simple as hiring the right person and gtfootw. See the chip
    Kelly and Lincoln Riley type hires.

    That being said most oc’s are obsessed with making the passing games look good and need a head coach to put them in place.

    Depends on if you think ferndale is a high level school.

    What about rod smith? Aggressive, attacking, up tempo offense. Knows how to win in the desert and can score atleast 10 points against Cal.

    Fuller was the best returning WR. He had a disappointing year. They really fucked up not getting Puka involved early and taking so long to let Bynum get a real chance and actually be targeted. Spiker should have been more involved as well.

    We should have had no true #1 and spread the ball around. It’s harder for DB’s to defend multiple guys with different games. And like we have anytime we have had a good WR or TE, we forced the ball to them. Eason would stare Hunter Bryant down and wait for him to get open on his shallow crosses.

    If we had some true studs, it would be different, but we didn’t, or at least they weren’t ready to fill the #1 spot from game one.

    In what way did it not “go great”?

    Hard no to any Rich Rodriguez disciples. He was a prodigy in his day but he didn’t evolve.

    Year 1 gets to the National Title game losing to Florida St

    By Year 4 the seat under the Gus Bus got so hot that he sacrificed Lashlee taking back the play calling back.

    So yeah, reason for some concern

    What a faggot. Kellen Moore could be a home run hire, or he could be worthless. I could be a home run president of the United states, but the wise money would back someone with a little more on the resume that leads one to believe so.
    He's also a complete insensitive, dick. Having a laff at people's real pain on Twitter? Classy...

    My question is, can he beat Idaho with his offense?

    I hate him already as much as I hate every word typed from fatters fat fingers.

    I don't know why, but @CFetters_Nacho_Lover never sounded funnier than just now.

    It’s a shitty witty knockoff of ask yourself why
