You are not going to see evidence on those kind of things until pen meets paper, especially when Gus is involved.

Certainly can't hurt! I Just hope the changes include giving more autonomy to someone outside of Gus' top secret inner circle to evolve this offense.

DAG 34,016 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Waiting game sucks. I highly doubt it would be Briles as the uproar would be horrible. Of course, if we did get him, winning, for the most part , cures all. I hope this is true anyhow as it would seem Gus is growing as a coach after his fourth year. Just imagine , if he got out of his own way, by this time next year there is no reason why we couldn't be feeling how Clemson fans are feeling presently.

Sadly, we'll never get to feel quite as good as Clemson is feeling right now, because we have to beat bama before the championship game instead of ripping their hearts out just as they are about to add another real championship to their less than accurate list.

This is true. The funny thing is this sets up perfectly. Imagine if we beat Clemson and Bama next year, all while winning the SEC. It can happen. Baby steps ..baby steps. Revenge tour 2017.

Not necessarily. 11-1 bammer probably gets in the CFP along with 13-0 SEC champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeslider 6 269 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I would settle for an evolution of Gus and his offense. If he can evolve what he has now into something it can be, that would be a giant leap forward. We all agree, i think, that the most needed leap forward would be a higher degree of emphasis on using the passing game to complement his run game. He seems to be pretty stubborn about giving Lashlee greater leeway to use all facets of the passing game (ie. TE, slot receiver and the deep pass) in order to improve 3rd down efficiency. The pass has to be a threat in order for the run game to flow like it truly can. I know he understands that, but i am truly mystified as to why he doesn't have a more flexible offense.

They will still vote based on total resumes just as they did this year. Because of Penn St.'s loss to Pitt & tOSU blasting an OU team that later got hot as well as having quite a bit tougher conference schedule tOSU had the better resume.

Head to head should count above all else. There will be extra scrutiny next year since OSUs resume proved to not be worth the paper it was written on.

gravejd 3,270 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm going to go ahead and say i don't expect any offensive changes in February unless it is just adding another coach. I think the people we have today will be in the same positions when next season starts. I have seen no indication that Gus believes a change is warranted or needed. We'll see though....

There will be extra scrutiny next year since OSUs resume proved to not be worth the paper it was written on. I don't think anyone in the Big Ten was worth the playoff spot. Wisconsin had a defense but no offense (even healthy - lol). I would've put Oklahoma in (I know - too many losses) and let them duke it out with Clemson. I believe that would have been a fun game to watch! As for the topic at hand, we know what Gus' offenses are capable of with a decent QB (or converted DB for that matter). I'm not too worried about any changes. But if Stidham comes in next year and looks worse than he did at Baylor (or they don't use him effectively anyway) - then I'll be calling for some jobs to open up on the staff. Whether that's Rhett or Gus - I don't know, but change would definitely need to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
