captain_sasquatch Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm legitimately concerned about bringing in an air raid guy. That seems like very square peg and round hole to me. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

MJ is passing game coordinator...so that should eliminate any OC that is pass heavy or has a heavy strength in knowledge in passing concepts/route combinations, etc...they will likely hire a guy who is a run heavy guy or a guy who's philosophy is more of a run first guy...i.e. army's oc, Utahs oc, UTSAs oc, coastals oc, North Texas oc...or someone like that. If they have MJ as passing game coordinator and then bring in an air raid guy, that's idiotic. Now that I've thought this through...I could see this happening. I'm sure MJ requested a more prestigious job title to sweeten the pot. I wouldn't read too much into it. 2 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If we just add a 5th down into our offensive strategy I think our first downs would get a bit better, especially if we run the damn ball about 80% of the snaps. Just throw it on 5th down instead of the customary punt. Most defenses won’t be ready for this scheme, especially early in the games when we need to jump out to a quick 4 TD lead in the first quarter. And if we give opponents just 2 downs with a 35 yard long chain for their use, it just might work against the weaker half of our schedule. And speaking of schedules, let’s line up about 10 games vs the MAC teams to get a bowl game within reach. Not sure why Trev didn’t think of this already? 2 Quote Link to comment

MJ being named passing game coordinator matters. Quote Link to comment

Jake Peetz wasn't a run first OC had a history as an NFL QB and WR coach, yet LSU had a PGC. Baylor had a pass focused OC and Brile's son as PSG. Lebby was a PGC under Briles. It hardly ever means the OC is a run focused guy and needs someone to coordinate the passing game. 1 Quote Link to comment

PasstheDamnBallGuy Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 So does that mean we should be checking flight tracker out of Lincoln to see where they are going for interviews? Quote Link to comment

Decked Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Sounds like they already got their guy just trying to figure out the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment

I really do not understand how Friday is aggressive given how long there have been openings. I wonder if they have tried Zoom ever. 2 Quote Link to comment

I really want to believe that they've done their due diligence in getting these hires right, but the pain of this season is still resonating. How tf have we not locked this in yet?? 2 Quote Link to comment
Huskers93-97 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Does he really need Matt Davison to hold his hand during the interviews? 3 Quote Link to comment

There are probably a lot of contract questions asked by candidates that can be better answered by someone in MD's position. 1 Quote Link to comment

We have 11 commits and this class has always been said to be maybe 12-14. I'm not too worried about the early signing period when you can still pick up a few in February once you have more time to evaluate who the new OC wants, who is left and who is coming in from the portal. 1 Quote Link to comment
