Is Ron Roberts the best DC in the country

I would be tempted to say neither coordinator returns and both replacements may already be on staff. As far as Crime, I’m wouldn’t mind Marcus Woodson coming back to fill that role.

You will see change. My guess is Roberts stays. Montgomery will be moving on or accept the fact that Hugh is in charge.

Maybe we will get lucky and Louisiana Monroe will hire Montgomery

In aggregate his defense was good this year. Offensive coordinator pretty much needs to go and feels pretty wild firing both.

Experience as an OC/WRC/QBC/passing game coordinator.

Known for the biggest point spread upset in history as OC at Howard in 2017 (45 point dogs and won 43-40 with Caylin Newton at QB).

WRC at Pitt in 2021 where Addison won the Bilitnekof

WRC/pass game coordinator at Texas in 2022 developing Xavier Worthy and Quinn Ewers

UNLV offense runs a system that would fit Hugh’s preferences for style/playcalling.

As a player:

NCAA all time leader in Yards per Reception at 28 during his time at Tulsa.

Can he croot? No idea.

ETA: as I’m learning more about this guy the more I like him

The inventor of the GoGo offense (described as a mixture of triple option with spread concepts, nothing relevant or in vogue about that right now), he actually started his coaching career as a head coach at the high school level, where he made literally every team he touched into gold before eventually moving up to college.

Also he’s currently a top candidate at Penn State

Where the frick did you find that name from?

I think we held nearly every SEC team we played below their scoring average. Our WRs we're dog shite this year..I don't know if any OC in the country could scheme those guys open.

I would for sure bring Roberts back and I lean heavily towards bringing Montgomery back. His offenses have put up good numbers everywhere.. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say we just didn't have very good offensive personnel at QB and WR.

Given that if we do make a change at OC it would most likely be Kent Austin imo, I would at least wait until camp and see how Monty is doing with better weapons. Maybe you flip Austins and Montys roles though?

I said this on Reddit the other day, but I think there's at least a 1% chance that Austin gets named OC and our favorite boy Dameyune Craig takes Austins spot as an analyst. Would help lockdown Coleman and maybe some transfers from TAM.

According to Freeze, the DB's did not play the 4th and 31 the way the coaches called it, even after burning a timeout to make sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do.

If that is true, there were two catastrophic failures of the DB's that gave Alabama two TD's in that game: one early in the game where the corner and the safety did not guard the WR which resulted in an unopposed TD, and then the disaster of 4th and 31.

If I were Roberts, I would point that out.

Also, Freeze himself deserves a lot of criticism for wasting half the year rotating Ashford at QB. It is clear that he does not understand the offense at all. Even his runs are unproductive, if not downright damaging to the team. Thorne, despite not being as athletic, clearly understands the formations and blocking and knows where to run. He is a more productive runner, and he obviously can execute more of the offense as QB. If Freeze hadn't wasted so much time on Ashford, Thorne might have been more effective, and maybe, one WR or one TE might have got into a rhythm and might have made a difference. Instead, I think the Thorne/Ashford struggle hindered the team.

"If you've got more than one, you've got none."

Places are looking at him for higher positions from HC to OC at much larger programs.

Jake Crain said this today. He said he would bring DC back just for croots.
