I also left out that he was coming home by coming to Houston. He grew up and played under Dick Olin at Baytown Lee.
No. They donât run the pistol. The QB is in full shotgun. They run a balanced spread with a lot of motion and misdirection.
Graham Harrell would be interesting⊠UNT to Houston would be a nice step up. Iâd probably have him on the short list.
Is Doug Meacham tired of losing up at Kansas?
Brian Wright looks like a home run. Broyles award nominee. Houston native.
Where are you finding that heâs a Houston native? his bio says he attended HS in Ohio and was born in NC
Do you think they look at this board to see who we want. Thatâd be cool. If they fire one of the offensive assistant coaches from the texans id like to pick them up. Someone with NFL connections. Can i dream if he retires get former UH Football players to be on our staff. Wade Phillips Defensive Co and Keenum Offensive Co. In a few years of course with Applewhite as HC. Maybe even bump up James Casey
Will the replacement hire have to wait until the new VP/AD is in place?
Please be Brian Wright. Been hoping he will come for the past few weeks!
Itâs a demotion because he lost play calling duties, to except a role he already had with the same staff here was with before. Thatâs not furthering your career, thatâs your old boss taking you back.
I introduced them to each other on TwitterâŠ
start the movement: #TeamHarrell
Wouldnât mind Graham Harrell eitherâŠ
Harrell makes $250k, we paid Johnson $440k.
Wright makes $146k⊠no Iâm not kidding.
NDSU and SHSU both have terrific OCs. I hope we look a somebody with imagination.
Letâs replace the OC who simplified the offense for players to master( even though they didnât execute the plays correctly enough). Then, letâs start over with a more complex offense (since that equates to non-boring). After all of that, we better score 50 a game or fans will be asking for a change at OC again. lol
Whoever we hire will be handed the same play-sheet as BJ. Theyâre not bringing their own offense, theyâll be calling Majorâs as well.
It will be CMAâs offense, but people can still tweak it. That is actually why FAU was supposed to have done so well on offense this year is that it was a hybrid of Brilesâ offense and Kiffin.
Taking our current offense and adding a little wrinkle to it could be a great thing.
Youâre making some leaps here. I donât think anyone here would call the Air Raid âboring,â for example, and itâs sure as hell not complex. Offense isnât a spectrum with âcomplexâ at one end and âboringâ at the other.
Iâd argue that if your players canât get the offense down (at least to a serviceable degree) in an offseason, you probably donât have a good offense. If youâve attempted to simplify it and your players still canât learn it, itâs either unworkably complex or youâre bad at teaching.
Thatâs true. I think people are frustrated with our base run formations and decisions to run the ball at certain times. That, however will not change. The OC still has to get the approval for every play from CMA. If we do âbetterâ the OC will get the credit for the entire offense. We are the same or worse the OC will also take the blame for the entire offense. Thatâs not how football works. Each play has 22 variables on the field with their own unique outcome equates to more than one person (the OC).
I was being sarcastic. Where did I mention Air Raid? If anything, Iâd stick with the power-spread or go to a West Coast.
The OC does not carry the multitude of glaring symptoms related to bad coaching like position coaches. Prime example, what is the purpose of an OL coach? What are associated symptoms to bad coaching by the OL coach?
This is inaccurate. On key plays, the HC will have input or if there is a trend observed, but the OC makes the majority of play calls unaffected. This last year, CMA did say he had to step in for adjustments, because the offense was sputtering. However, I donât think CMA thought that was ideal, and I think it was a major factor in Johnson not returning. Johnson knew things were on the downhill for him here, so he got while the getting was good.
