Right. Which is why I’m happy instead of upset. But I’m not a fan of running anything similar to what Michigan ran last year.
You're not going to run "that Michigan offense" because that wasn't really Gattis' offense. That's why he left for Miami.
Then I'm not sure why it would matter who the OC is either way then. I think Gattis is pretty good with the passing game. I don't think he had the QB to take advantage of what he wanted to do with the offense his first two years. I don't think his run game stuff was good at all in 2019 or 20. Last year, he married his passing game with Harbaugh/Baltimore run game very well for most of the season.
I mean you’re not hiring a guy from Oklahomas staff under Lincoln Riley to run some ball control offense. The hire matters, and Gattis by all accounts runs the offense that Cristobel likes. Hopefully it works out
Every winner from 2013 down is pretty fucking good. Hell the list from 2009 down is impressive. Kirby won that year
Don’t care about the run game fluff everyone keeps saying, give me a really good schematic passing attack and add in TVD and I’ll be very happy. By all accounts the passing game is Gattis’ strong suit. Mich ran lots of quick hitting RPOs and tempo, none of the 7 step PA drop backs that got Enos fired The 5 people who keep saying Cristobal wants to run a Big10 offense from 1994 have obviously never watched an Oregon game from start to finish or paid attention to what his offenses looked like at FIU
It’s also always a huge question mark to see what a new OCs offense looks like until week 4/5 anyway so all the posting between now and then will be some good word doc opportunities
The only “good” coaches Miami has had in the last 15 years is Rhett, Jedd, Kuligowski, and maybe Richt if he just hired an OC. I’d take our current staff now except maybe Coach kool
Remember when people were sad because BMac left for UGA(including me) and Mario just went out and got a better recruiter at WR coach lol
Remember when the AD search was a complete mess and HC situation was toxic? Lmao suck our dicks from the back Brett McMurphy
all I see is riley, venables, brady buncha other guys who fans wanted fired compile the rest it's a nice hire, hoped you guys would do worse
After the FSU loss I remember talking myself into Schiano being a realistic solution I could live with What a difference a couple of months makes
In a text to some Michigan players, Josh Gattis said, “Unfortunately the past few weeks has told a different story to me about the very little appreciation I have here from administration. In life I would never advise anyone to be where they are not wanted…”
2018 and 2019 oregon averaged 430 yards per game. the horror. really took a step back in 2020 to 415 yards per game with bad qb play and rona
The Banks came here for weeks exclaiming that Mario was difficult to work with and Oregon fans were laughing their asses off that it was taking 'so long' to fill the staff out. Please go back to your usual irrelevancy now.
I mean, neither program has won shit in over two decades so maybe pump the brakes with the irrelevant talk.
I honestly couldn't couldn't give a fuck and not going to get into a Rivals-level pissing match with you
Should be some fun games against Steele. He was good, but not great for us. That 70 against WVU did him in, obviously. I really like the Gattis hire, especially because the athletes he can get in the southeast.
I'm a Ducks alum hoping Mario finds success in Miami. Easy to root for a guy that left your program in a better place than he found it and CFB is better when Miami is good. Glad he's getting some good coordinators. The biggest red flag on Mario that I cannot figure out is why he kept playing Anthony Brown. Specifically, why didn't he play one of the 4/5* qbs he had on the bench when he was down big in the 3rd against Utah TWICE with no hope as long as AB was still at QB. He either didn't have the balls to make a change, the QBs weren't prepared after a full season to be prepared to go in if needed or the qbs on the bench are terrible and he doesn't evaluate qb talent well. Random comment. I don't know if it speaks to anything about Cristobal but it's the only thing that I thought was inexcusable during his time at Oregon.
Cristobal has never been the sole coordinator of an offense in his entire career. He doesn’t have an “offense”. His teams have run a pro/power spread with mostly 11 personnel 70-80% of the time. people acting like this dude’s teams have fullbacks in the backfield every play Go look at what his coaching offensive tree at FIU produced and what that system looks like Brown threw the ball 35 times in a game they were leading in at Ohio St for 3.5 qtrs.
I don't know what to tell you man. I get that the stats suggest something more rosy than our commentary, but that game at the shoe was very much the exception to the rule, and for anybody who has seen how football has been played over the last decade Oregon's offense this year was positively infuriating - and also very different from anything Joe Mo had shown in previous stops for one reason or *ahem* another.
yeah you had Anthony Brown at QB. We had the same deal with Richt when we went from Kaaya to Rosier. Same system same play sheet two completely different products on the field. When your QB blows and the staff has no confidence in him it gets ugly What everyone should be in here dumping on Mario for is not the “offense” he runs but what the QB room after Herbert left looked like.
No but Mario has been a Co-OC. He definitely has some things he wants to do on offense. Also, Nick Saban was a defensive guy but he basically developed his own system with Lane Kiffin and that's why it doesn't matter who he hires for OC they end up doing mostly the same stuff on offense every year.
It’s both offensive gameplan and probably moreso in game pulling on the reigns. For as much of a great recruiter as Mario is, there were a couple position groups that were mid-conference level at best (QB and RB). the two fan bases should Twitter space on this topic
