My only comment here is that I don't think we've failed because of our system. In fact, I'm positive that we didn't fail because of that. We lacked an offensive line that performs on the level of even Illinois' or Minnesota's, and honestly our running back room is probably not even on those teams' level, either. Now if he wanted to sling the ball 55% of the game? Obviously Husker fans aren't going to like that. 3 Quote Link to comment

Is Harrell that bad or just thar he is a pass first coordinator? USCs problem this year was Def. Not off. He's not bad, its just fans having a higher opinion of where the program is at right now and who we can realistically get. I'd say that the offense's issue this past year was the oline over anything schematically. There was good success against all the top teams that we played and they were the only team to really light up Wisconsin this year (something Frost has done every year he's faced them). I think Harrell can help improve the overall efficiency of the offense so it's not as much boom or bust. If I were to rate the prospective hires, though, Harrell'd be in the top 5, but not my first choice. 5 1 Quote Link to comment

USCs problem this year was Def. Not off. He might have his strengths as an OC, sure. But our biggest problems on offense are the line and the running game, and Harrell brings nothing to the table that would suggest that he'd be an improvement in those areas. That said, I think people are reading a little too much into the rumors around Harrell. It's clear that he was an early candidate, and there was some mutual interest. But I think the 'early' part of that is being overlooked a bit too much. If Frost were ready to hire him just based on those early impressions, we wouldn't be sitting here waiting a month to hear who our next OC will be. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
PasstheDamnBallGuy Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 So almost everyone can agree that our 2 major issues last year were oline and more so even ST. So if we hire Harrell and he runs a pretty similar offense. Then we go out and get a good oline coach an experienced dedicated ST coach and people will be upset about that. Add on to that that people wanted a better QB coach and someone who can bring in big time QB recruits and we would possibly have that also. 4 Quote Link to comment

This has a lot more to do with technique and attitude than strength and conditioning. 1 Quote Link to comment

I have heard arrogant people before and he does not approach that at all. He listens attentively, does not talk with his nose in the air (see Steve Pederson) and gives credit where it is due. 3 Quote Link to comment
theknife Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Mark Whipple(of all the names mentioned) would get my vote. They averaged 350 in passing and 150 on the ground. They passed it about 53% of the time. Quote Link to comment
