I like that he brings a ton of experience as an SEC HC, that will be valuable to CBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing everything as not amazing is eeyore. lol Seems a lot of the new offenses has passed Mason by. He was great at stopping the Chip Kelly spreads. Hopefully not being a HC will give him some time to dive into what offenses are doing now. He was playing with a group of guys who got chewed out by a soccer player (albeit a very successful soccer player) I don’t think scheme can do much for you there. In any case, he’ll have opportunities for the best assistant coaches to discuss new ideas and concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, I love the ignore feature. ❤️ I have been abusing that ignore feature the last few weeks. Coaching change has brought out some boneheads.

AubieinNC2009 79 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Excited to see what he can do, the last SEC HC we hired as DC did a pretty good job. Players love DM, he was an elite DC and should fit in great. WDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've fulfilled everyone of those the last 10+days. I guess tell me when it is acceptable to reject a hire like you with Bobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we been playing a one-gap scheme under Steele or two-gap? If we're transitioning to two-gap, I think this could take some time to implement. We'll have to be patient.

But seems to be struggling with the new evolution of offenses. Was that solely talent or has it passed him by? Same type of concern with guys like Muschamp. You saw him struggle where?

AU_Twisterman 83 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I don't see the logic in thinking that a guy that was innovative enough to think outside the box and famously stop the earlier spreads somehow cannot adjust to some of the recent offensive advancements, of which he has been coaching against every year. It isn't like he has been out of the game for 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
