I guess we're attempting to just be so damn good everywhere on the field that a shite OC won't matter, and hopefully in 1 or 2 years we'll can him and get someone else.

Defense shoudl be stacked every year Kirby is here, no worries at all there. Pittman should upgrade our OL tremendously, and not take too long to do it. We've always been capable at TE and getting nauta would only improve that. Eason can/would probably make any OC look good. As long as we get some playmaking from WR our offense should do ok.

WG I agree we keep trying to polish the turd that was given to us. Scotty now Chaney. Let's just hope that our recruiting at the OL and WR position will give him something to work with. We killed Arkansas in 2014 but Chaney was able to move the ball on us once they stopped turning it over. Also we got uber conservative in that game both offensively and defensively. In my gut I feel like this is an awful hire but Kirby had to gameplan against his O and he must have liked what he saw. My big question is how far down the list did he go to hire Chaney. Couldn't be his 2nd or 3rd candidate

Kirby has never called plays before so it doesn't surprise me he went after someone with a ton of play-calling experience in Cheney. I doubt Cheney was his first choice but it's not like the CFB OC market is saturated with experienced coordinators looking to work for a first year head coach.

All that being said, I think Cheney will under achieve relative to expectations and we'll hire an up and comer in 2 years. Kirby will have had the benefit of working alongside a guy who has been coaching offenses for 30+ years and will be a better coach for it.
