JJ OL coach/passing game coordinator is the direction I think they go. Gran stays RB coach/running game coordinator. JJ shot caller, Hinshaw/Bouknight out, new QB and WR coaches.
Why Bouknight out? If anything the lack of continuity in that room has contributed to the issues. Do we know yet wether Bouknight is a problem.
Yeah...unless they JJ has a great WR coach he needs...not fair to can another WR coach. What is that three guys fired in 3 years in a row now?
Just basing that on the lack of production from WRs. Maybe unfair but Bouknight was a very late addition to Stoops staff, just got the feeling Stoops grabbed the first guy to come along. Think JJ probably has someone else in mind. Purely guesswork on my part.
Sounded that way to me as well. That's two press conferences in a row where I got that vibe from him.
I think the dye is cast, staff is probably aware of who is to be set adrift.
Hinshaw's being absent was probably Covid related.
Not at all!! Stoops will handcuff the next one just like he has Brown, Dawson, and Gran.
I've seen this posted a lot about Brown. I've watched a couple of his games at Troy and WVU, he didn't run an air raid style when I watched them. He ran stuff more similar to UK than Washington State, more balanced than we were this year, but, it was balanced offense, good defense. Neal didn't have a lot to work with early on. Dawson and Stoops were not similar in approach. The only play that sticks out from Dawson, an incomplete bomb on third and 1 or 2 in our half of the field. Not really a smart play, I think he had more gamble than Stoops wanted and really it kind of flies in the face that Stoops was calling the plays.
Ok so let me get this straight. Because Herman struggled (30-18) at Texas he couldn't be a good coach at UK. Mack Brown seems to be doing fine at UNC and his last 4 years at Texas were bad. Are you saying you wouldn't take Herman over a coordinator?
This is way over reactionary. Stoops is coming off 4 straight bowls. A 10 win season was just a couple years ago. Under no circumstance is his job on the line. The philosophy on offense however is another story because the offense was bad even during that 10 win season. In fact the 2nd half of last year with a WR playing QB is the only time in Stoops' tenure that you can say our offense was good enough to win us games. The offense needs to get better and that might or might not mean replacing Gran. But something needs to be changed.
I gave my opinion and the first thing you said is its fkn stupid contradictory and ignorant. You must have self esteem issues to get that mad about me stating something as small as getting rid of Stoops. Take your meds and chill out lol
Just to be clear firing stoops wouldn't be my first choice (1. & 2. wasn't an order). But the reason I think that should be an option is because I just don't see him changing his ways about our offense. I think he may have peaked at UK. I hope I'm wrong but time will tell. Next season will be huge for him.
His receivers we're just fine at Oregon, ofcourse they threw the ball and the quality of their receivers we're better than ours. Look at the upgrade of our current commits at the Recievers position, highest of any position. Evidently they must think he's a good position coach or they wouldn't have commited, that also includes Dingle.
I'm a firm believer that you never demote someone. They lose morale in the short term and in the long term, they know they'll never be up for a promotion. It's better for all parties to fire someone and let him go elsewhere. If fired, Coach Gran can leave and pick a spot where he can learn from an offensive head coach or OC. He could also find an OC job on a lower non-power 5 or FCS level, work on his system, and re-prove that he's ready for another power 5 OC job.
North Carolina is a solid, middle of the road ACC team.
