huskerswrkhavoc Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR POWER RANKINGS 1. Kevin Wilson, Oklahoma BUZZ: He oversaw an offense that scored a record number of points last season, and he has his quarterback, two 1,000-yard running backs and the best tight end in the nation returning this season. 2. Galen Hall, Penn State BUZZ: Hall is a veteran assistant who has seen it all. He deserves kudos for helping Joe Paterno ? his college coach, by the way ? see the light and upgrading the Nittany Lions' offense the past few seasons. 3. Gary Crowton, LSU BUZZ: He has a long track record of success, and it was his offense that led the way when the Tigers won the national title in 2007. 4. Norm Chow, UCLA BUZZ: Here's another guy with a long track record. Don't hold last season's inept Bruins offense against him. An offensive staff of Bill Walsh, Sid Gillman and Don Coryell couldn't have done anything with what Chow had to work with. 5. Shawn Watson, Nebraska BUZZ: He's underrated nationally and has overseen some potent units of late. It wasn't bad offenses that got Bill Callahan run out of Lincoln. Rivals link 1st thing i thought when i read through it... really? LSU was offensively led when they won the MNC in 07? Quote Link to comment

I think Watson is a brilliant coach that was just over shadowed by the ignorance of callahan. I was very surprised he didn't become a HC after last season. I am curious to which job he is looking at. I do not know what college he went to but I wonder if he's waiting on the aTm job, it will probably open up after this year. Here's hoping. Quote Link to comment

That job would be very hard to pass up. I just hope he stays through 2010, but I don't get a good feeling about it. i'm thinking he goes out west to the nuts and hippies...i mean the hel hole known as boulder. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 How they formulate these "rankings" absolutely baffles me. Does some poor staffer just sit there thinking up what would make a good list? Do they use monkey's hurling crap at some big list? Either way, most of these are just them guessing anyways...

HUSKER 37 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm just hoping he doesn't take the Colorado job when they fire Hawkins after this year's 6 win season. This is why I can't root against them this season...well...except when they play us. Viva Hawk! Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Kevin Wilson is good, but #1? With all due respect, that offense has had the benefit of great athletes for quite some time. I like what they do on offense... I just have a difficult time calling him #1. I seriously think I could pick 10 random plays from their playbook, eyes closed, and they will still score 6 points a majority of the time. hmmm... Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 No way would Colorado want him, their fans hate him from his time there. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 No way would Colorado want him, their fans hate him from his time there. CU fans hate Watson? Why, because he came to NU? They had a pretty good offense when Wats was at CU. I hope you are right. Quote Link to comment

They had a pretty good offense when Wats was at CU. I hope you are right. CU fans had a love hate relationship with Watson. When CU was winning they loved him, when they lost they blamed Watson's play calling. Too conservative I believe was their issue. Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Gus Malzahn at #12? Behind such luminaries as Ed Warriner, Mike Bobo, Andy Ludwig and Sonny Dykes! And only one spot ahead of some smo named Jim McElwain! What does Malzahn have to do to get some respect? He only produced the top offense in the country two years running, and did it at TULSA of all places! Yeah this list is a joke. Seriously who the f#$k is Sonny Dikes? I've never even heard of the guy! But apparently spending 6 years as a wide receivers coach under Captain Leach, makes you a top 10 offensive coordinator, even if it's only your second year on the job. Quote Link to comment
Scarlet Overkill Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Obviously this list is very subjective. I would have Warriner higher, and move Norm up the list. Move the LSU/PSU guys down the list, too. Quote Link to comment
