Uh, didn't Owens just give very high compliments for Coach Robinson right after he committed?

Jimbo's decision and I'm not terribly disappointed by it. Robinson didn't rotate RB and stuck with guys even if it wasn't working.

---

A year ago Texags was in full meltdown because Spiller was taking away valuable carries from Achane. Then Achane gets all the carries and we need to sack the RB coach for not splitting the load. Oh well.

---

You can think Achane should have gotten a bigger share of the carries two seasons ago and think Achane shouldn't have gotten all of the carries last season. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

---

I love Achane and he was our ace, but I was hoping to see much more of Daniels and LJ last year. They would have at least got some experience and good for retention in what otherwise was a bad year.

I'll know Jimbo is serious about fixing the offense when Dameyune Craig has been fired with prejudice.

Who else does that sound like?

If Petrino requested this change you can stop worrying about whether Jimbo will truly turn over the offense to the OC.

What would be the logical reason Jimbo would not want to rotate running backs and receivers?

I am not very disapointed by Jimob Fisher's decision to part ways with running backs coach Tommie Robinson becasue he did not rotate running backs as often as he should.Hopefully, Bobby Petrino will hire a good running backs coach that will fit in with offensive system.

---

i felt like previously they had. this year it was all
achane all the time but can you blame him ? we had games where we ran 40 plays on offense. and we needed anyone who could take it to the house because we couldn't sustain drives. i feel like this could go either way but he seemed to be a pretty good recruiter and we have had good backs lately so not sold either way.

---

We averaged 63 plays/game, only 1 time did we have less than 40 plays, the App. St. game.

During this past season, many on this board were complaining about no rotation & concerned w/durability of #6. Funny, he seemed just fine in the lsu game. With a guy who can break one any time he touches the ball, do you want him out of the game?

As noted here a few posts above, Petrino is in charge. Jimbo has input, but Petrino is running things. If he felt like he wanted a different guy, Coach Fisher okayed the move.

---

Because we ran too few plays. Our offense is so slow, Achane never even averaged 20-25 touches.

---

It wasn't the pace of the offense that caused so few plays. It was all the 3 and outs and was compounded by a defense that couldn't get off the field at times.

You DO understand those two things are perfectly consistent, right? In both cases, we might have more effectively split the load, though I don't have a major problem with the way it was done.

Players dont seem to be too happy with this firing

That's normal

So where are the "normal" posts like these for the other firings?

What does this mean for Owens?

---

He is free to leave whenever he desires, whether for reasons of discontent with his position coach, or any other coach whom he feels is impeding his development/progress, or to chase more NIL money. It's the "new normal."

Collectively, players now have the leverage they need both to wreck and to build programs.

They are not mutually exclusive if you don't believe in logic and are searching for scapegoats.

Should throw the money truck at Burton Burns. Go get him, BMA's!

Fishback just hired as RB coach?:
"Fishback spent 2022 as the running backs coach and co-special teams coordinator at Morehead State."

Behind a pay wall but 247 is reporting Scottie Montgomery is the lead candidate. Also we brought Fishback in to be an analyst.

No, they're just not mutually exclusive because of exactly what I said. Feel free to point out the error in my logic or make a single argument at all. Also, I have no opinion on the firing - I was just responding to your logical fallacy.

The error in your logic is you assume we liked one back more than the other and that's not the argument. We are talking about sharing the load and using the hot hand/proper RB. In 2021 there were times Achane was running wild but out of nowhere we started running Spiller exclusively. Then this year there were times Achane couldn't get anything on the ground and we had 3 capable backs sitting on the bench but they didn't get any touches.

Again it's not about 1 RB but the entire room and using them

I assume you were responding to him because you're agreeing with me. I was pointing out that it can easily be logically consistent to say that Achane should have had a bigger load in 2021 and not the entire load in 2022.

Yes. Sorry

Adazzio's contract is up Feb 1st if I remember correctly.

No reason to fire him. He'll be done soon. I'm betting the new OL coach is already tabbed/set

Wouldn't the RB rotations have been up to Jimbo?

---

Apparently the position coaches decide on rotation.

---

That's what I would say if I were Jimbo too. I bet the position coaches also decide whether or not to bench guys for wearing arm sleeves.

Rules are rules.

At least he's currently a RB coach. Fishback has never coached RB.

Also I'm not sure Montgomery will be the guy. He's just one 247 has mentioned.

I believe he is interviewing for NFL OC positions.

Can you provide a link to a story/article to support your claim about Robinson? I have not heard this anywhere else.

Robinson is still listed on the athletic department football staff web page.

As many times as it takes to prove to me that he is a good recruiter. Feel free to list all of the guys he recruited that you would want again. He has had six recruiting cycles. I'll give you a head start: Stewart, Moose, Noah Thomas.
