    DBU ain't going anywhere 😎
  • The fresno Oline coach is apparently bad. Maybe Huff stays but I hope not. On the other hand he is a good recruiter, Junior Adams and Huff are the only good recruiters on the previous staff.

    The uw o line coach is horrible

    As is the UW O line

    I agree, but we have "4 stars"... enough so that a good oline coach should be able to assemble a decent line with the current players we have. Unless the players Huff recruited were all really overrated in high school.
    I don't think any of the players were getting developed by staff

    Bet they start rolling in quickly now.
    Can Grubb recruit? I know he can run an offense and call plays.

    We hate this until we don’t, right?

    Someone pass me the script please.

    Think he's not much of a recruiter but if the offensive staff we are rumored to be getting is here (Kenny Hill, Kirby Moore, Adams plus Donte in SoCal) he won't need to be.

    We should know soon.
    I'm relying on you to tell me how the staff is viewed generally once hired since I know fuckall except Donte is mega.

    I believe there was an FSU guy early on saying Grubb's playcalling had some weak spells over this past year and to be wary of that. IE might be better if DeBoer calls the plays.

    If he can't recruit and his play calling is suspect what the fuck did we hire him for? To fan Deboner?

    Nah, pretty sure Grubb was playcaller in 2020 and 3-3 record led DeBoer to taking back the reigns this year.

    Hill feels like a good risk on an up and coming QB coach.
    Adams not sure if he can coach but we know he can recruit and I expect the WRs will produce much better in this offense regardless.
    Moore can coach and recruit and he's shifting to TE but should be around to help with WRs and eventually slide over if Adams proves to be a poor coach after all.
    Grubb very good OL coach.

    RB coach is the one question mark on the offensive side, best bet is the Fresno guy Lee Marks I think his name. He's meh but RB coach is the least important coach on the team.

    Defensive side I'm now hearing Malloe may be returning which is good if he's DL bad if he's LB. I liked the DL we were supposed to be getting from Boise though, up and comer.
    LB no idea if Inge isn't coming.
    Donte at DB/co-DC who can recruit like hell and looks like Chuck Morell the Fresno guy as the other DB. Good mix of a recruiter and a coach.
    Steinauer is a homerun DC if he's really the guy.

    More question marks on the D side but I feel pretty good about the staff as a hole as long as we get Donte and the Michigan guy as RC.
    At least Hill is a real QB coach who actually played QB. Instant upgrade over what we had no matter what.

    Yeah outside of Donte Morgan is the only other guy I know of reputation and he is also mega. Those two would be huge. So Grubb is basically the OC title but really coaching lineman then?

    I feel so “meh” about Grubb. At least it’s continuity. Hope he likes recruiting

    You could probably count on one hand how many schools have an OC where all of his play calling is terrific. Offensive play calling is the easiest thing to nit pick on a couch.

    It’s a safe hire, it won’t go down in flames like the Donovan hire that’s for sure.

    Yeah this. So just be on lookout for who's calling the plays.

    What kind of couch?


    wouldn't mind pretending I was her couch if you know what I'm saying

    Also I believe Grubb's a quality OL coach

    Why do you believe this?

    The games I saw the qb and wr’s were good. Their offensive line was hot garbage. Haener was covey’d more than a handful of times. Their line looked slow and underwhelming.

    If the play works it was a great call and vice versa

    The exception is the random play generator that Donovon used That was bad play calling
    Especially if your RPG only has enough RAM for three plays and two of them are runs up the middle.
