Downsides to hiring a legit $2m OC to combine with our playcaller Jimbo...?

The biggest argument against it is that Jimbo doesn't want it. If he wants one, then great. This is not an NFL.

I think the sentiment I sense is that there is frustration we didn't blow away teams. We had several games where we were clearly in control of the game but didn't run away with the score.

Our defense benefited greatly from playing fewer plays. I'd like to keep this going. We also were severely handicapped in the receiving corps this year, with some guys having to step up that were not supposed to be as big a part of the game plan. Losing Cupp, Chapman, Ausbon... this offense would have had that explosiveness many saw missing this year with those players on the team.

Personally, I love the style. I love running the football on someone when they know you are going to run it. And yes, offense has changed, that the fundamentals will always work.
That's a player issue and not Jimbo. He didn't go ultra-conservative in his play-calling, but we did have some guys who seemed to take their foot off of the gas at times. Granted, this was much improved over past years but these guys have to learn how to keep playing and just totally demoralize other teams when given the opportunity.

Jimbo is the play caller by choice. There are only a handful in the college game as good as him.


Ehhh. I'm not convinced Jimbo is creative enough to be a play caller in this era of football. I thought our offense lacked imagination this season. I wouldn't be opposed to injecting some creativity in the form of a playcalling OC. Just my opinion
You literally have no clue what you're talking about. Lmao.

I just thought the passing game could use some more schemes/concepts. I don't see what it hurts to bring in an additional OC. Jimbo can still call plays.
I think the passing game is already pretty complex (we have heard issues with WR's and the playbook).

His offense has to have an elite oline which is the head scratcher. He's done very little to date to build that up. No reason to not have a center and left tackle ready to step up. He was trying to go thru portal to get a tackle. And couldn't get that player.

Can anyone think of any downsides?

It feels like we're being stubborn (or cheap) in not adding a legit offensive-coordinator asset to mix with Jimbo's expertise and playcalling.


If we hire an offensive play caller, I don't want what that man calls mixed with Jimbos playcalling at all. Why in the hell would we do that?

That was true 10-15 years ago. Now even the NFL is abandoning his 1990s pro style offense.

I bet all the rest would have fallen over laughing if he suggested they run whatever play that was.
