I am not calling for Hunt's job.  Just that we are incredibly limited as an offense due to the throws he can execute.  He is the best we have.  If we had an OL like we did during Marrone's tenure, it would probably work.

I think McDonald is very creative.  We have run a ton of trickeration during his time here and (to his credit) it works most of the time.  Problem is with your wildcat suggestion, our OL isn't good enough.  We see that in short yardage plays.  To teach a triple option (which is probably the best offense for the personnel in all honesty with Moore at the FB spot and our stable of RB's at TB) is just not going to happen.

Key here also is Hunt is elusive, not fast, so if the defense stacks the box we aren't getting yards.  I wouldn't mind an offense that is option based with Broyld at QB, but I think the OL would get him killed.

I think that is lip service by McDonald (and have always thought so).  He is a WR coach and this is the offense that most WR coaches will run, get the balls in the hands of his guys on the perimeter to make plays.

The reason we have to throw all the time is because we have games like Notre Dame where our Punter is our leading rusher.  Our only avg unit is the RB position, but it gets to be below avg when fitted with our below avg OL.
