Hue Jackson

[Mr. Scot]

Can you expand on this Mr. Scot?

I'm wondering if you're talking about his days in Minnesota, because every time I talk with Seahawks friends they constantly lament Bevell's predictable run, run, pass approach to the offense.

 

Remember the thread on the Seahawks-Giants game?  Only 10 passes thrown the whole game and yet it was a blowout win.

 

I've heard the fan complaints about his offense being run heavy this year, but there's a reason for that.  It's been working.  Bevell has adapted to what the Seahawks do well right now.  Specifically, running with Marshawn Lynch.  Add in that a lot of his plays are designed brilliantly.

 

Bevell is a legit QB guru, responsible for a lot of what you see in Russell Wilson and also for the resurgence of Brett Favre when he was in Minnesota.

 

Now imagine what a guy with that rep could do for Cam Newton.

[Mr. Scot]

I think Steve Smiths problem was he was ready to retire and didn't care. There are a bunch of people who would say a young Smith did everything he could to win games. Just saying, look at him now he has motivation.

 

Does he still? (link)

 

And truthfully, Jackson's been that way for years.

I would take anything with a pulse over Rivera, I have no faith in him to be a quality HC.

I still firmly believe, the best man for this team is Jon Gruden. Somebody that would come in and command immediate respect.

I admit Hue's not my first choice.

I'm more partial to Darrell Bevell and Tom Clements right now, but also kind of intrigued by Dave Toub or Brad Seely.

Bevell in particular strikes me as sort of a 'mad scientist' type (kinda like Payton).

Bevell grabs my attention too.

One of our resident Auburn fans took on that idea in the "Gus Bus" thread.  His take was that Malzahn wouldn't transition to the pros very well.

 

But like I said elsewhere, Jackson isn't my first choice.  I posted this topic primarily because his name seems to come up a lot.

 

 

Yea Chip Kelly and his offense wasn't going to transition to the pros very well either.

 

Oh...
