Marf Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Would it be allowed, by NCAA rules, for Dr. Tom to be an Offensive Coordinator along with Athletic Director of the school? Anyone know for sure? Wishful thinking, I know, but I enjoy entertaining the idea nonetheless. Quote Link to comment

Marf Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Doesn't matter, it will never happen IMO. Hence why I said "wishful thinking". Not too far out of spectrum though... He was our head coach for a certain amount of time. Would he be allowed? Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Idk if he would be or not. I'm not sure if anyone has tried to do this before. Regardless, even IF T.O. could do the play calls, what play would he call? Full back trap? Speed option to the left? Bring the Oz-bone back onto the field and run a counter sweep? These players are WCO/Spread players who don't have a lick of an idea what type of offense T.O. ran. They also don't have the physical tools to do it. Most option run line man are shorter guys, and we have monstrous linemen who would have trouble in more ways than one. If they can't run the offense they are built for, how would they run one they aren't built for? Quote Link to comment
mitch7 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I think TO would be smart not to even attempt your idea. Why risk ruining his reputation? Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Head coaches have doubled as ADs, there's no reason an Asst Coach can't be an AD. Now can I say that it will never, ever happen and it's just silly to even bring it up? Quote Link to comment

We had a good series of Power I and single back sets. No shotgun. Blocked fine. Maybe not be as effective against better Defensive teams, but it's a start. Quote Link to comment

Not quite sure how that transforms a Division II QB and a gaggle of receiving corp plagued by the dropsies. Quote Link to comment

They had just as many good power-I runs as they did piss-poor ones yesterday. Regardless, take it past the o-line to the receiving corp. In order to run this type of offense you would need receivers that can block extremely well on the perimeter, and right now ours are not doing that at all. You also need a deep stable of running backs. Right now, we have Helu who is obviously still hurting proven by two fumbles and then we have Trey Robinson, who looked well yet fumbled himself. After that, we have a bunch of unproven guys. Quote Link to comment

Trey Robinson was not exactly proven before this game. This was the first time I had seen him. He looked very good. Maybe we have the depth at RB, but the playbook and lack of understanding is getting in the way? Quote Link to comment
AF Husker Fan Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 i agree whenev we had legate or whoever was our FB it looked like Tre got quite a few decent runs in. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Does that mean no more swing pass on the first play of the first offensive series? Shucks. Quote Link to comment
