I highly doubt the musical chairs at QB was Monty's idea or preference. That offensive plan was mutually designed by Hugh and the offensive staff, predicated largely on Hugh's desire to keep Robby involved. Hugh said as much, repeatedly during the first half of the season: "Robbie has to get his touches". It just didn't work out, and I think more than likely what happened, is Hugh walked in and said "this offensive plan [which we mutually came up with] is not working, here's what we're going to try going forward."

It is a little ironic that early in the season, Hugh was specifically calling Robby's package, yet that's the part that was ultimately abandoned (although he did give a lot of those same plays to Thorne).

Hugh obviously did get more involved with the playcalling and offensive plan, but he's been clear that calling plays has been a collaborative effort between him, Monty, and even Jake Thornton.

Monty is a very good offensive coach, but he may or may not be the right fit for this program. I'm absolutely not pinning all of our early woes on him, though. It's more likely that the original plan just didn't pan out.
