Well, been fairly vocal that my biggest concern with this football program moving forward is at the OC position. I have not liked the offensive product on the field from Day 1 since Jimbo arrived. There have certainly been flashes of brilliance but overall more disappointment, especially after last year. Jimbo has shown little consistency in our offense but luckily Elko had been the strength. This upcoming season is absolutely critical for Jimbo to prove the his offense philosophies still work in this very modern era of NIL transfer football. I almost feel that Fisher is too smart for himself and has trouble seeing simple solutions. Like a mad scientist.
Don't get me wrong here guys, I think Jimbo is without a doubt a top 5 HC in Div I and a top 3 recruiter. Just not sold on him as OC and that isn't necessarily a grip unless he is unwilling to acknowledge need for change (assuming our offensive rankings don't improve drastically for 2022-2023).
Am I being overly reactive based on the crap show last year and several inept offensive performances in prior seasons? At what point does the lack of a top performing conference QB fall 100% onto Fisher? After 4 years now, I am not here to accept excuses from a coach that is hailed as an offensive genius and QB guru by some (certainly disputed).
Hope this doesn't sound overly negative towards Fisher. This is not my intent. I am curious about other opinions on the subject and our offensive woes?
Just some perspective to consider for Yards Per Game rankings:
2021 season - #70 YPG
2020 season - #32 YPG
2019 season - #86 YPG
2018 season - #23 YPG
Not horrible and certainly doesn't tell the whole story. Fisher is averaging about a top 50 offense so far in his Aggie tenure. I don't feel this is anyway close to where we need to be to be a contenter.
