Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Let's look at the real situation and how to improve. Gus is good at the HUNH and the downhill running. Proof is that we had 8 or 9 1000 yard rushers since 2009, So what we really need is a OC that can open up the passing game to go with it. Also need someone that can truly develop a true duel threat QB that is as equally good at passing as at running. We also need a fresh play caller that is not as predictable as Gus. I am not that concerned with where he comes from as long as he shows signs that he posses these qualities. I would like for him to be a good recruiter also, but I think that only ranks second to his abilities mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really "also." They haven't talked to any sources independently. They are merely reprinting what ESPN said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Seems the idea of experience if worthwhile if we want to get Gus out of the "mentoring" business and stick to the HC job. Get another young guy, and you can bet that Gus will feel the need to hold his hands on about everything offense related. At least a guy like Spav...(and some others too) has experience running an offense without the HC approving every play. JMO but we don't need another trainee OC.

I'm not seeing any disagreements derail this thread either. ABW and I were able to work through a small one and figured out the disconnect between us. no harm and no foul.

steeleagle 2,945 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 But looking at one year's offensive stats doesn't tell me anything. Personnel could be better in the one year at Cal, injuries, who had the more experienced QB..etc. I think either one would be along the lines of what we need. Someone who can coach and develop a QB...add some new life into the offense and the passing game, and fit more into the current Gus' offense..so a total revamp isn't necessary...AND they would help Stidham the most ..if he is deemed the starter for the next 2 years..

Second, it's just the nature of the beast when you're discussing things people are passionate about and who have different opinions. There will be debates and sometimes they will be heated. People will argue their positions. Sure, there are some that need to dial it back a couple of clicks and stop goading other people, but this isn't CSPAN or NPR. It's not the place where folks are going to discuss sports in hushed tones and be exceedingly deferential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Catch22 (or Tubberville scenario) for us - world class coordinator as HC. If Gus gives total O control to an OC we lose the biggest reason to have him at Auburn - his phenomenal offensive abilities/talents which, yes, I buy into. I also admit his wearing both HC and OC hats was not working. If he gives significant input into our offense he's using his resume highlight but we get into the meddling, tampering etc argument and again, that was not working ideally. The moment this Fall when Gus declared he felt unable (or at unwilling) to be both our HC and the primary offense guy was a huge, now he's just a CEO/administrator. Such a waste IMHO.
