Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 330590, member: 485"] I can understand that fans don't like the offensive output so far. For sure, Marrone is a run-first, meat & potatoes guy, and Hackett is executing an offensive philosophy under Marrone. If you don't like that style of offense, you won't be happy this year either. It won't be a pass-first aerial circus or a track meet with big-strikes. Our new weapons are a big slot back (Broyld) and a big TE (Thompson) and two 300 plus lbs linemen. You can do the math. On the main point (should Marrone hire a new veteran OC and step back) -- I feel Doug would be frustrated, as he was in his first year, if his OC had a philosophy differing from his own. If the coach played offense, coached OLs and was an OC in the pros, he should have close involvement with the offense. My bottom line is this -- negativity about Hackett is pointless. He is making progress both as a recruiter and an offensive coach. Marrone likes him. [/QUOTE]
