offensive plan for the off season

[bulls96go]

1. fire OC hobbie

2. fire QB coach smith

3. find solid QB (grote, hill, denson)

4. drill fundamentals of pass catching

5. change system (use TE, improve situational playcalling)

6. find O linemen to replace those leaving (toweect.

finally get some emotion and consistancy

total make over on passing side of equation

[Bull Matrix]

It is a lost cause. We are in big trouble.

[E.T.]

I think the OC for sure ... don't know enough to fire QB coach .. Grothe will start at Penn St.

Hopefully another great receuiting class and the last two really start to pay off.

Go BULLS !!!

et-we had a great recruiting class last year

where are all the great players

i don't see it

96-you should be head football coach

i agree with each move

There might be a few freshmen that can come in and step it up right away but tjose are few. They need time to adjust to speed of game and bulk up. The offenses and defenses in HS are pretty plain compared to college and they are not going against kids with similar talents in all positions.

Youll see a lot of this kids blossom in the next couple of years.it shows the talent they have that they beat out our seniors and juniors that were recruited while in 1AA

1. fire OC hobbie

I think Hobbie will be reassigned

2. fire QB coach smith

there were rumors of him leaving after Blackwell's last year ans we were all worried now we want to chase the SOB out of town. Fans are funny aren't they. The bottom line with Hobbie and Smith is that we have to some how find better replacements and figure out how to pay for them.

3. find solid QB (grote, hill, denson)

no argument here, but don't leave out Julmiste. He may not of shown much but if for whatever reason none of the new guys distinguish themselves or can pick up the offense quickly enough PJ may still be our best chance to win, unless we want to just concede the season from day one next year.

4. drill fundamentals of pass catching

Plenty of talent in the WR corps. Green, Chambers, Peyton and some of the redshirts have plenty of ability. The real problem is getting repetition in games. Remember that players like JR Russell at Louisville had the same hands problems as Peyton and Bain. Now look at him. What I would like to see is for our receivers to bulk up so they can get off the line of scrimmage next year when face press teams like West Virginia, rutgers and UConn.

5. change system (use TE, improve situational playcalling)

great play calls w/o execution equals bad plays. If yesterdays fake punt would of been blown up by Memphis then instead of being a great coaching move it would of been beat to death this morning. Everyone remembers the decision to go for it against TCU last years .....right?

6. find O linemen to replace those leaving (toweect.

We don't have to find anyone. The replacements are already on campus. Dile, Griffin and Walker were recruited and offered by everyone. By all indications Dile and Griffin will be ready to play next season and Walker has looked good in the limited time I have seen him this year. This is not to mention that John Miller will take over at the center position and he actually gives us more athletic ability at the postion, albeit in exchange for size and bulk. Don't forget about DeArmas coming in this year and we are in the hunt for some other bigtime OL.

finally get some emotion and consistancy

Young teams get too high and too low. What we really need is for some leadership to arise from one our LBs such as Ronnie McCollough or Ben Moffet. We also need a head hunter that has size and fundamentally sound. I am not going to knock Javon Camon b/c he gave it his all but we definitely need to upgrade at the Safety and QB postion.

I think we are already seeing this transformation. The Iformation is hear to stay as is the QB under center. Now we just need the personel and proper execution.

Another class and hopefully we can show how good we've recruited lately ... recruiting is on potential AND we need to RS some ... 2005 will be a great season.

Beat Pitt !

Go BULLS !!!

smazza doesn't want to hear that.

I would like to see Franks become the OC and let him hire his own staff.  I sure hope he doesn't go to USC.
