It is clear our offense has cost NU quite a bit this year - and now it continues to cost the program. I am wondering what the best reason for not making Offensive coaching changes prior to the bowl game is? It is apparent a few things are happening right now to the NU program due to it's offensive woes. First, we should be 11-1 in regular season if we could score touchdowns. We should be Big XII champions if we could score from 1st and goal.
Secondly, now we have guys (offensive) de-committing every time I pick up the paper. Reading between the lines, this appears to be a consequence of our offensive uncertainty. Everyone knows something will change in the offense next year. Now, whether that be staff or strategy, we don't know.
I think maybe things should happen now. Announce the offense is going to a new look or announce a staff change. I think Bo can call the same i-back dives that Watson has done in the past few games don't you? If not, there has to be someone on staff that can. I am not sure if at this point Watson really makes a difference?
Finally, we need to get recruiting hard. Get the kid from oregon and then focus on offensive players. Go grab the kid from Millard South, grab some big ugly guys for the o-line and then get another QB and a great tight end. Toughts?
