AidiAU 1,270 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Being an online head coach stresses me out. Welcome to the family! I’m happy with this. Happier if he has the freedom to make changes on all sides of his offEnse. Super happy for Bo, and I hope the Nix family is thrilled with the hire. I am such a mom.

When you look at what Morris has done the past couple of years it's not so good. The only way this turns into a good hire is if the Offensive line has major improvements and allows Nix more time. I think what happens here is the same thing that all the other Offensive coordinators went through. You put in a guy and all he does is try to mix some of his style into Gus's offense and eventually it turns out terrible. Gus either has to let the Offensive Coordinator do his job and have his own offense or just settle for what the offense was this year. If this hires works which hoping it does it will be a whole new range of schemes and ideas and not the same stuff from Gus.

Great recruiter and has history in the NFL as a successful OL coach. https://gotigersgo.com/staff.aspx?staff=219 It's fairly evident he knows how to coach an OL with the results there and the 1000yd rushers I've begged for Silverfield for years. He would be a home run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you have no way of knowing that this won't help out the offensive line. Look at our current recruiting class. Dilly already helped out our offensive line significantly in a very short time. Morris can absolutely help with recruiting OLs and that is how you make play calling look really smart again. Gus was a genius behind Mike Berry, Lee Ziemba, Ryan Pugh, Chad Slade, Reese Dismukes, Greg Robinson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperAUsome09 727 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This is a positive no matter what! OC's input to Gus went from <1% attention to about 25% at minimum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAU76 386 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Well, great job there Coach Malzahn! First step in the process complete! Now, let's turn the reigns over and let Chad steer this thing into something truly special! I'm sure Mr. Nix is excited about this as are the rest of the Offensive players!

Kind of hoping he does, we have recruited so well and the turn out is not so good only Seth Williams and Hastings have really shown growth.
