Remind me again who coached Cam and Marshall? People are complaining but if this offense had a good QB, we'd be 3-0 right now.

What did he "coach" with Cam and Marshall? Run left, run right, and then throw to a wide open receiver after you've gashed the defense repeatedly with runs to the point wherein they have to start selling out to try and stop it? That isn't "coaching", its scheming...hence why after the season ended Cam was highly scrutinized on his actual QB fundamentals (to the point that he had to basically re-learn how to actually play the position pre-draft), and hence why no one thought for even a second to test Nick Marshall as a QB at the next level.

Malzahn is a pure scheme coach. His QB's look good when the scheme looks good. Its scheme over players, which is completely arse-backwards because his scheme has no flexibility and it is obvious that he has no idea what to do when he doesn't possess a huge advantage over the defense. Real offensive minds can make something out of whatever they're given; Malzahn is the opposite in that he needs X, Y, and Z to premeditate everything he does.
