This info from 2 sources just confirm what we already know.
Chip Lindsey is just a proxy for Malzahn on Gamedays. Malzahn has a direct line to Lindsey and Lindsey relays the play to the qb.
Lindsey does have some input, and has implemented a few things but the offense is still Malzahns and very much like 2016.
The playbook has not changed at all. We just have more confidence in Stidhams arm than whites.
Last season around November Malzhan started over-ruling Rhett's play calls.
Malzhan was told to give play calling duties to Rhett last year. And he did.....until November ish.
The offensive line is ranked last in sacks allowed and 2nd to last in tackles for loss through 2 games. Last season started off very similar in which the line ranked next to last in TFL after 3 games. The common denominator is Herb Hand.
The wr's are not getting open because of lack of creativity. The word is out in the SEC and teams know exactly what route each receiver is going to run based on formation and positioning.

So this is exactly what most of the folks have been saying on here, and elsewhere
We have no creativity
Gus doesn't know what the frick he is doing
and Lindsey is calling the plays from Gus's playbook
GIVE ME A BREAK

He needs to be fired yesterday.

I was told Chip would have full autonomy of design and play calling, aside from normal clock management, time outs, etc. (HC stuff).
If this is true, Gus needs to go.

Is it really that big of a deal Gus calls his own plays? His boss should set expectations, and evaluate his job based on those. Not tell him how to do it. That doesn't get me as rustled as some of you.

Wow.....

So you are satisfied with the playcalling?
Posted on 9/12/17 at 9:20 am to AUtigR24
Gus- you are washed up. Let it go already. But keep being stubborn, lose to LSU, UGA,BAMA and the bowl game and get fired!
Posted on 9/12/17 at 9:22 am to tilco
No. But it should be communicated that if he calls the plays; he doesn't get three years to figure out problems.

New Insider Info From Marcello: Kind Of
I generally like Marcello but this is honestly hot garbage. Yes, there are valid points but they completely gloss over huge issues as well
For example
quote:

This ignores that our WRs regularly fail to fight through jams at the LOS + run lazy routes
quote:
The common denominator is Herb Hand.
This ignores that our entire OL pass protections/scheme changed this offseason.
quote:
Malzhan was told to give play calling duties to Rhett last year. And he did.....until November ish.
So what? We sucked vs TAMU/LSU/Clemson last year with Rhett then? Pretty sure in November Bill Belichick/Josh McDaniels couldn't play call effectively with crippled Sean White/JJ anyways
quote:

This is just factually incorrect. We have run a few passing concepts that did not exist last year
quote:
Malzahn has a direct line to Lindsey
If there is a HC that doesn't have a direct line to their coordinator in the game, they should be fired for incompetency

Yes we're paying an OC 700k a year to do the same job a GA could do.

you should look into a job with Malzahn's PR dept. you spin shite so hard he might be able stay on as our HC for 2 or 3 more years. honestly what is hot garbage is Gus Malzahn.

No coach is completely hands off on his football team. Saban is heavily involved in the offensive direction. I agree with Gene in this report is not professional. Gus is the HC. His fingerprints should be on his team.
Posted on 9/12/17 at 9:36 am to AUtigR24
That's a leadership issue. Not a play calling issue.

This is why he needs to be fired. If we can't trust the head coach to have his fingerprints on his own team, why in the hell would we want him?

Yeah. That's my point. Derek Mason calls D plays at Vandy, so it is not unheard of. There just needs to be expectations regarding the O, and Gus needs to be held accountable. You don't get three seasons to figure it out.

If Mason's defense starts losing us an unacceptable amount of games, Vandy fans will be calling for his firing. What's the point of having a head coach known for offense or defense if that side of the ball is losing games?
I defended Gus's possible lies about player injuries,but this BS to throw Chip under the Gus Bus is pathetic. Own your shite. It's one thing to suck as a coach, but that's pathetic as a man.
Posted on 9/12/17 at 10:09 am to DoreonthePlains
That is what I don't get. A head coach should be able to step into the OC/DC role (Which ever he specializes in) and dominate that role. If Pruitt left Alabama tomorrow, Saban would take over and not miss a beat on that defense. If Lindsey had the offense rolling, but left during the season, I have no faith that Gus could step in and call a good game.
To me that is my biggest reason that he should not be a head coach at Auburn. What does he add?
