re: Predict the 2025 Playcalling Drama

Just when I was letting myself start to feel a little excitement about the season, this craptastic plan is made public. This screams JABA and I guess it is comforting to know now instead of being disappointed on the 29th. Has 2003 Nallsminger vibes all over it.

So Nix calls 1st down plays Freeze calls 2nd down plays Austin calls 3rd down plays

Anyone remember the "Offense by Committee" years under Dye from 1986 to 1990?

Lot's of Delay of Game and Illegal Participation penalties. Got worse with time, especially when Dye didn't have an RB that could take over the game.

Statistically auburns defense wasn’t that bad last year… top 15 in YPP among P5 teams. It was turnover margin and special teams that were killers.

this was the first time i couldnt control my language in JHS. I always curb the language due to respect for kids etc, but when that shite happened. the curse words flowed uncontrollably. I apologized profusely to everyone around me, but they wouldnt have any of it. They said it was completely justified

Do yall think this unusual or just an Auburn thing with multiple people working on the game plans/play calls?

This happens almost everywhere high school/college/pro.

So think of it sort of like Nix is the run game coordinator, Austin is the pass game coordinator. Freeze is the “play caller”.

What do yall think the assistant coaches up on the booth are up there for? They track everything. When we go 4 wide they track what the defense does, how the line up. Then we throw 12 personnel out and they track what the defense does. You guys would be shocked how much communication goes on between series. Most informational about what the other side of the ball is doing in each situation. Plus they already have an idea of what they are going to see. So a play call goes in, coach in the booth says yes we got the look we expected, run the play, if not then change the play to the defensive alignment.

Here we go again.

A smart person would know this happens at every level and almost all coaching staffs.

I’m not doing this bullshite back and forth with you so frick off.

I don't care who calls the plays, I just want the offense to stop looking like a chaotic wreck on the field. It's great we've got better receivers, but when you have them running around in circles like a flag football game and the ball continually goes where the receiver isn't, it's hard to keep blaming the talent.

We'll see how that goes this season. The playcalling drama, I just see as Freeze's continued tendency to shift responsibilities people assume he was hired for to his assistants.

For starters let's leave smart out of it...

... because a smart person wouldn't be habitually arguing with an imbecile (not every day).

And secondly I thought the reason we got Hugh Freeze is because he's an offensive guru?
