Offensive Coordinators -- West Edition

My take on the western division and thoughts going into the season.
1) Auburn - Malzahn won't be a coordinator much longer, enjoy it while it lasts. One of the best offensive minds in college football.
2) Arkansas - McGee has been learning from the master for years, remains to be seen how he fares on his own, his offense should be scary this year.
3) Alabama - I don't think McElwain gets enough credit, Bama usually finds a way to put points on the board.
4) MSU - Don't really know much about Koenning, if they stick to the ground this year they should be solid.
5) Ole Miss- Doesn't really matter who is OC for Houston Nutt, he's just there to take the blame if it goes wrong,which it usually does.
6) Lsu -
Serious discussion only please, no flame fest...

LSU's offense is looking a bit shaky now, not sure how they will turn out. Thought they might improve but now not so much

So, who is the genius here - Him or Petrino?

For sure. Usually a lot of points.

Dan Mullen calls the plays.

When Jacksonville State hangs more points on Ole Miss than Alabama (with Julio, Ingram, Richardson, Maze, a senior QB, etc) you have a problem.
When you can only score three points in one whole half against an average Auburn defense that lesser talented offenses hung more on, you have a problem. THREE frickING POINTS! That goes to show how much of a difference those two Aubie defenders who were suspended in the first half, really made!
When teams like Kentucky, Troy, Arkansas, and Tennessee hang more points on South Carolina than UA, you have a problem.
And seriously, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Florida, and North Carolina hung more points on LSU's D than Alabama did...
Should I also mention "powerhouse" offenses like Kent State's, Indiana's and Iowa's equaled the amount of points Alabama's loaded offensive hung on Penn State?
McElwain deceives people (particularly the braindead UA fans) by padding the stats against weakling opponents like Duke, Georgia State, San Jose State, and occasionally has one phenomenal offensive outing against an okay team like Tennessee or Mississippi State, making him appear to be better than what he is. Translation: he's overrated as hell. UA will never field an offense loaded with talent like we did last season and last year McElwain's once in a lifetime offense shite, pissed, and puked in the bed.
But I'll give McElwain credit for at least showcasing that talent against second/third-tier teams (Duke, Ga State, SJS, etc.). I can't wait to see what he has in store for Kent State, North Texas and Georgia Southern this year!

I thought Petrino did most of the play-calling. I could be wrong but I would have Mcelwain hire and your Nutt analysis is spot on.
I thought Kent Austin was going to be the X-factor Nutt didnt have at Arkansas. Our Offense looked great the first two years in the system. When Austin left I lost some faith in Nutt's ability to retain a good OC. For God's sake Austin was a star at Ole Miss and was back coaching at his old school. Hell at one point I remember thinking to myself we should give Austin a shot at HC when we got rid of Nutt... Prolly not the best idea but WAOM. He left us for the fricking IVY League

McElwain isn't allowed to change the script, Mullen, Nutt and Petrino call their own plays. With K out at LSU, Gus is the only OC in the West.

When LSU hangs 40 on you, will you change your mind about the rankings?
