AU64 10,122 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The issue is recruiting I think...having to make early moves,before the new December signing date....and before the bowl games. Screws up bowl game coaching.......such as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing OC's is a big deal with such a short time to prepare. Is Gus the interim OC in this game? Well, yes, for any team not coached by Gus.

IDK why Gus is the coach AU decides to give unwarranted chance after chance too. The good thing about AU is that it usually lowers the boom at the first sign of trouble. Not the case with Gus. Around and around we go on this Merry Go round! lol Unfortunately, you got that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,825 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 At this point do we even want to replace Horton and JBG? Surely all replacements will be downgrades I mean who the hell wants to walk into a situation where the entire school except for a literal few wants the HC fired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas last season. That doesn't necessarily mean he wants out so much as he thinks he's capable moving up the coaching ladder. Nothing wrong with that. May be that he takes another crack at it this season too. I kinda would like to see Porter at RB and maybe bring in a good TE coach. I think we've been hurting since Fountain left. That said I still like Horton and think he's a good coach with a solid track record. I still believe Grimes coaching strengths didn't get with Lindsey's RPO play style. Grimes I still believe is a good coach as well, but too often our interior linemen just looked confused... Again hard to say if that's on coaching, scheme, or inexperience...

AURealist 2,185 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Chip's been officially announced as KU's new OC. https://kuathletics.com/news/2018/12/3/football-miles-tabs-chip-lindsey-to-lead-the-kansas-offense.aspx so rename the thread to `Chip Lindsey escapes to Kansas'.

Did he say it's "all" on Gus? 5th string QB vs 2nd-year starter in Stidham. 5-yr average recruiting ranking of 28 vs 7. 24th in total offense vs. 94th. Do you think that's all on PAC 12 defenses? ASU played 5 teams in the top 50 in total defense in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even have to be any good, apparently, to be serviceable in the Big12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creed 1,635 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Congrats to Chip. I think Chip was hired specifically to coach a pro-style qb (JS). The remainder in the program appear to be dual-threat types so it's on to that type of of coordinator. Summary, it's just business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
