I just hope this guy doesn't pull a Chip Kelly and start holding up big ass pizza and burger pictures on the sideline to signal calls. 

He's more of a pro coach 

Not the kelly college gimmicks

Correct. He was an assistant to the offensive line coach for one year. But this, again, doesn't really promote that he is some offensive genius or great offensive mind. I am not trying to dog the guy. He is going to be here for the next 6 years so I am going to support him and hope for the best. The analytics suggest other than this year he was a get the lead and run a billion times for 2.5-3.1 yards per carry type of coach. 

No---and I do not think they were looking for a chess player as much as they were looking for a motivator.  Some know X's and O's, and others know people.  I think he builds players, not strategies as much.

Imagine doing that with a college football version of Taylor Heinicke at QB and Reggie Bonnafon.

Baylor doesn't have near the talent of other P5 schools.

2 years ago when he arrived.  No parent wanted their kid to go there coming off the Art Briles thing and under the NCAA investigation.  

With only 1 commit.  He scrapped up some players and still produced with what he was handed

And THAT is phenomenal---2 years later, he is taken Jalen Hurts and Oklahoma to the woodshed early, building a 25 point lead---and some Huddle crackpipers want to trash him for losing the game.  He goes 8-1 in the Big 12 and they criticize the fact that he won 2 OT games and some wins were within 1 score.  Terrible coach!

I don't think anyone is trying to imply he is a terrible coach. At least, that isn't my intent. In looking at the details of the numbers at Baylor and Temple his teams defense and special teams were definitely upper tier.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
