Danny Langsdorf New Offensive Coordinator

Great hire. He knows everyone is on the hot seat in new York, come to nebraska and have success you will be a head coach in 4 to 5 years

 
Saw this a few days ago. It's from a few years ago. He's answering questions regarding QB battle before season opener, possible transfers, making changes, competing, etc. Pretty good vid if you have the time.

In Danny’s Langdorf’s one year as the Giants’ QB coach, Eli Manning flipped his TD-INT ratio from 18:27 to 30:14. #Huskers

Yeah, between Langsdorf and Riley, the QB spot should be well coached.
Not jumping on you TTRR because this has been brought up several times other places but this is a perfect example of lies, damn lies and statistics. Manning was about as bad as possible last year. That stat has been thrown out a lot as "look how good he did with Manning." But in the four years prior to last year, Manning averaged 4,226 yards, 61.5% completions, 28 TDs, 17 INTs, and a 89.6 rating. He had 4,410 yards, 63.1%, 30 TDs, 14 INTs and a 92.1 rating this year. That is, he basically returned to form after a terrible year last year.

 
The reason for the departure of the 42-year-old Langsdorf is unclear, especially since he's returning to essentially the same job he left a year ago, just at a different place.
My guess is he doesnt like working for that meany Tom Coughlin. We will likely pay him more than what he is making now and it will be a lower stress environment than NY. Easy decision. I just hope he isnt here to collect a pay check.
My guess is that Coughlin may only coach one more year and then call it quits or be let go. I think he is taking a job he knows he will have for a few years.

Yeah, unless the HC is the OC, the OC is also the QB coach. Works that way in about 95% of CFB schools.
Thanks.

Last question I promise. And perhaps no one knows for sure yet, if not that's okay.

I kind of remember hearing that Reilly has (at least in the past) called his own plays.

Will this Giants guy be the one actually calling the plays or will it be like a Callahan/Norvell, Callahan/Watson type deal?

 
I'd love to see more on him. If someone can expand on this, that would be great but here are some things I looked for immediately.

I have a feeling that we will have a pro style passing attack.

Looks like his last year there (2013), Oregon State averaged 48 +/- passing attempts to 27 +/- rushing attempts per game.

34.8 pts per game (27th in NCAA)

Although it looked more balanced in 2012, 38 +/- passing attempts to 34 +/- rushing attempts per game.

32.5 pts per game (37th in NCAA)

Those are not bad numbers at all.

For comparison, during the same time period our pts per game:

2013

31.9 pts per game (48th in NCAA)

2012

34.8 pts per game (28th in NCAA)

Two years don't tell a story at all, but it does give us a little bit of insight.

That has been debated and I'm not sure if anyone has been able to say for sure.

 
@SBN_BillC:

"Langsdorf and Riley created something interesting in Corvallis, based far more around speed and talent on hand than scheme."

"'We've got X studs, we're going to use them in 15 different ways.' RBs caught tons of passes, WRs got carries."

Oregon State/Danny Langsdorf Offensive S&P, by year:

2005: 84th (5-6)

2006: 39th (10-4)

2007: 68th (9-4)

2008: 22nd (9-4)

2009: 10th (8-5)

2010: 26th (5-7)

2011: 98th (3-9)

2012: 18th (9-4)

2013: 33rd (7-6)

So despite a weird 2011, he's coached consistently good offenses. Not to mention coaching up Jacquizz Rodgers, Brandin Cooks, and Markus Wheaton enough that the NFL wanted them.

Mannion's Redshirt Freshman season perhaps? They only averaged 21 points per game.

The OSU fans I've spoken to seem 99.99% sure Riley will call the plays.
