Illinois making a change at OC

[Frozen]

I wonder if Tommy D. knew about this before committing. Seems unlikely.

[orangenauburn]

Or did Dad already make his presence felt?

LMFAO always a possibility.

Wonder if George McDonald was ever in the running for this job

 

[JRHEETER]

I wonder if Dad is going to ask for to change the scheme or come up with a few plays

I think George is a good position coach and recruiter. I don’t think he’s a coordinator.

If he hadn’t flamed out and burned his bridge I’d take him back here to coach wr in a heartbeat.

For sure - odd dude. I got to meet him a handful of times, really engaging 1-on-1 but had some different philosophies.

Yes, like throwing bubble screens to a side where we had 1 receiver, 1 blocker, and 3 defenders.

Headphone discussion as the play call comes in:

Lester (probably) - George, we don't have the numbers on that side.

George - **** it, run it anyway.

Shafer (probably) - You guys figure it out, I'm talking to the defense.

My favorite is the toss sweep in the end zone for a safety with a back who clearly should never run a toss sweep.

I still have nightmares about that...

money3189 was there for this one day with me. He’s showing a group of us coaches cut ups of game plays.

I think he called the play Bear, but this was a long time ago so I might be forgetting. It was basically an empty set with 5 digs for routes. They opened the BC game I believe, by running the same play 5 or six times in a row.

He was laughing and talking about how he had a bet with Terrell Hunt about how many consecutive times they could run the play for a net positive result.

I get the concept of run it if it’s working, but that was the first time I’d ever seen any OC do that. Scripted same play that many times in a row, at any level.

Adonis right?

 

[PAcuse]

Adonis right?

Correct

 

[Chip]

Correct

If I'm not mistaken, that was the birthplace of "**** it"

Yup, the memory is so vivid because the play happened in slow motion. Saw the play perfectly and as soon I saw the toss I knew he was ****d

I think he was actually on to something there. Why not keep going back to something that's working. Conventional thinking says you can't run the play 5x in a row but if it works why not?

I've often wondered why coaches don't keep going back to the same plays in a game that clearly work. It's infuriating to see a play work great and then not see it again the rest of the game or maybe not see it again for 3 or 4 weeks. weird.

Right? In techmo bowl I would run the all streaks passing play. Worked like a charm

FIFY.

Spurrier was known for doing that.

It's funny because it's true.

I always thought that with things like a reverse or flea flicker. OCs think if they do it once, then the opponent will always be ready for it after.

If I were a DC, I'd think that's the last thing I need to prepare for because OCs never do it again.

lol good point. You might see it once a season. Cause even though they're pounding their RB 30x a game for 8 weeks straight but there was that time they ran a flea flicker in week one so the defense will be ready for it.

There’s some chatter that the new OC was bringing a QB with him. Now THAT’s when it’ll get interesting!

The new OC also runs a heavy RPO offense…
