Please explain to me

How Louisville can consistently attract outstanding quarterbacks and other than Tim Couch and Andre Woodson we seem incapable of doing so. We outrecruit them at most other positions which is why we have won five straight over them . But they always seem to have always have better QBs . Louisville for Pete’s sake . Not Georgia , Alabama of Texas . Louisville! how do they identify the top QBs ? how do they recruit them. I really really just don’t get it .

Can our coaches not spot talented qb’s ? Is our reputation for the type of offense we run an impediment to recruiting a quality QB? Is there some other factor ? I just don’t understand it . Would some one please explain to me what we are doing wrong or perhaps not doing at all ?

Stoops is awful at identifying QB talent and a rotating door at OC isn’t good either. You have to have continuity and everyone on the same page which obviously isn’t the case.

You’re not giving J Lo enough credit. RIP.

Our last 3 quarterbacks were handpicked by Liam Coen .

Can't develop them. Brohm and others know how to develop QB's because they are offensive focused coaches. That ain't Stoops.

 

[OleBluCatz]

It’s fairly obvious at this point Stoops wants nothing to do with the forward pass, anything involving QB development ain’t happening, practice pass blocking ain’t happening, and WRs need to block, not catch.

Levis his junior year is the only decent throwing QB we have had in a decade. That should tell us all we need to know about the overall coaching philosophy. Without a STUD running back,Stops coaching philosophy is bankrupt. We have a decent running back this year and one that MIGHT have been but he doesn't get enough touches to know

 

[mrschwump]

A reminder that Leary threw for 2700+ yards and 25 TDs, that's not bad.

 

[chevyman 50]

It may not be the QB but the coach that where the plays come from.

 

[MrHotDice]

Maybe it’s not the QB but an offensive system that’s hard to learn, easy to defend, and hard to recruit to.

Brock regressed since the beginning of the season. Early in the year he had nice pocket movement, didnt panic, and nicely went through progressions.

Also the offensive play calling regressed. No more tempo (partly because we insanely rotate qbs), very few route combos that stress a defense, and we refuse to stick with whats working in any given game. Our offense is good at one thing, which is inside zone and pin/pull but we refuse to run it. Whens the last time we saw pin/pull that was so effective for us the first 4 games? Why do QBs get so many carries when our most explosive player in the backfield gets limited touches?

I was underwhelmed by bush's resume when he was hired but remained open minded. when he said the right things, it sounded positive. Now i van clearly make the decision he is a poor fit.

We just lack identity, lack a coherent plan (in game or across games), and continue to focus on touches instead of results (the latter is definitely a stoops thing as we saw this persist through the last two ocs too).

We could've and should've made a much better hire especially given what we paid hamden. That's on stoops. He needs to fix it and i think he should be given that opportunity because the last three guys he hired were all good or great.

 

[know1]

When the offense ends up being a problem every single year, and you've changed OCs most years, the problem is elsewhere.

Man..hard sell to give Stoops yet another OC he’ll fire in one year. Dawson, scangerello and Bush all would get axe in year one 😳

Unless it’s a situation Ky can’t fire Stoops (which may be the case) the head coach has to wear this one.

But j agree Bush has been very underwhelming with his decision making.

To imagine all we lost off the offense last year was Leary (didn’t blow me away), Ray Davis (really good rb), Flax (decent tackle) and Tayvion Robinson (third best Wr) and brought everything else back with portal upgrades….and we’ll score 20 pts a game this season va 29 pts a game last season. Unbelievable decline

Don’t forget Oregon. Man those guys just reload every year. They have stupid Ducks on their shoulders and yet superstars flock to them.

 

[ManitouDan]

It’s stoops 1976 approach .. attempt to run run run run , then put in a QB to run — like on 3rd and 7 … wildcat their ass , works every time , right ? Yes the OC has sucked , but only 1 common denominator in this entire equation, Stoops .

 

[jeffky]

To much offense to stretch the field gets in the way of stoops philosophy he looks at the game like this keep the score low possession control run the clock out and don't keep the defense on the field play not to lose and limit penalties and mistakes problem with this his style is like pulling teeth to watch his special teams are horrible to play this style and his players are very undisciplined with our recruiting base in the sec you can't win if you don't put points on the board for God sake Iowa come and take him he would be a perfect fit stoops has got to go

 

[Mark80]

2 of the biggest reasons are (1) offensive line is terrible too many deep routes which gets the QB hit, (2) the head coach is a offensive player not defensive player. We don’t develop any players anymore, too much dependence upon the portal.

His philosophy gave up 48 points last night. So much for a defensive mindset.

pretty easy to developed a QB in a crappy conference.

Scang is a unique case. He doesn't get fired if coen never expressed interest. Scang did a very underrated job here. Had freshmen wrs, no lt, and an injured qb that struggles with progression. Fans wanted the wandale offense back and stayed up in arms due to unrealistic expectations.

I know you can't say no to coen but honestly we'd be better off had we never fired scang. He seemed happy and he was really good. Was never going to be sexy enough to get an nfl oc job.

So really this is really only the second poor oc hire in his tenure.
