Or just be another body on the sidelines? No, it's going to be Gus's offense and Gus will call the plays. If you don't want a head coach calling plays, best to hire an HC that came up on the defensive side of the ball. However, Morris is a good QB coach and will fit right in. Good or bad idea, we aren't going to get another play caller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the OC is nothing but a title and position coach in our system anyway....why not. I do hate to lose Dilly for his recruiting. He has played a pretty nice role in several commitments we have this cycle. An OC does more than call plays. Dilly did most of the behind the scenes work with the offense, to include organizing and running the offensive practices, making the offensive game plan from film, etc.. He also had a role in play calling. Dilly gives Gus 2-3 options, and Gus made the final decision. Surprised he’s jumping to FSU though. He and Norvell had the same arrangement that he had with Gus, so it’s not like he’s getting more freedom or anything. It’s a lateral to a broken program. He must just really love Norvell.

Win4AU 4,052 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 This thread is Auburn fast. My question for Chad would be who is calling the plays? Would Chad let Gus run the show or would this be another who’s calling the plays scenario? Luke would check a couple more boxes for Auburn needs. This offense is a dominant line away from being scary again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFriction 1,179 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Our offensive problems this year seemed more to do with game prep than play calling.

The NFL is a different animal. You have a terrible offensive line and you can't fix that with just a new coach. You gotta go out and draft/sign some new players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL is totally different from college. It also helps that Luke and Morris are great recruiters and appears to have solid technical coaching for QB and OL.
