Maybe he holds off telling us who the OC is until after the regular season games are completed and Scott will take on that responsibility for the remaining 2 games. 

The only issue is if you're fighting for visits, having named your future OC will definitely be more attractive to recruits than the position being a "TBC"....

I think those were designed handoffs. They kept the zone read look, but instructed AMart to hand off since he was banged up.

I don't mind designed hand-offs, but the repeated "Hey Rahmir, line up to the left of AM, take the ball and run into the B-Gap for the 8th time this game" was enough to make me bang my head against a wall.....

As long as they go heavy and bring in i-formation at the goal line, I'm willing to be flexible....

Firing now gives the fans a built in excuse as to why NU gets beat in the last two games.  It also gives fans a huge boner if they win either of the two games.  From an optics standpoint it is brilliant.  

 

Just my opinion, but "figuring out the optics" and how to best manage all the potential outcomes (win vs loss at OSU, etc.), was most likely TA.....

If that ends up being correct, he's already earned his paycheque for the year.  Really astute move on his part to have developed the action plan the way he has.

CB2.

Just my vote (which counts for nothing)....

I'd love to see Frost hire an OC with an OL background in order to reset the offensive identity.....maybe somebody like Doug Marrone....then let him bring his own guys in to fill in the offensive staff. 

CB2. 

Just so I ask, do we have a clearer idea of the "play calling split" between Frost and Lubick?

Most games this year, the offensive play calling has consistently felt schizophrenic, where it totally feels like there are two different guys with very different personalities calling plays.....and a lot of the dud calls (such as that every surprising WR Screen) feels like its Frost taking the reins and reverting to the same unimaginative (and unsuccessful) stuff that has so badly hamstrung us in the seasons prior to Lubick's arrival.

The much maligned "Let's QB sneak it out of the shotgun" in particular felt like Frost pulling rank and making the (bad) call....
