Agree. Don't know who calls plays at Indiana though. If Sturdy was moved to OC, I'd love to bring in Johns as WR coach.
Another potential OC hire- Nick Quartaro
- Thread starter Luth4Cy
- Start date

If mess is here. My season tickets are gone. I cannot buy in to the concept that we can do the same and expect different.
As the individual who started this thread, I'm going to point out that suggesting a former BCS OC and a guy with Iowa State ties as our future OC is a pretty legitimate reason for starting a thread.
Seriously? Even "more frequently", as you put it, still doesn't equate to quoting CPR as saying it's a "big" concern.
So, if you also watch/listen to the weekly Paul Rhoads show on TV, you'll have seen how clearly he has endorsed Messingham's play calling at various points this season. I don't have to "draw any conclusion" to point that out.
If I were to do so, I suppose I'd guess that while CPR has had concerns from time to time, he feels that his OC has improved as the season has went along. That's just a guess, mind you.
Perhaps he's just saying nice things to help Messingham get another job elsewhere. I dunno. I can't read CPR's mind--but I'd have to say it was one of the two.
Well, if you're putting your judgment ahead of CPR's--whatever he decides, good luck with that.
So if Mess is retained and we suck offensively, and then another year we suck, and another, then who is to blame? Is it the players again because they lack talent and can't execute? Or do we finally say, "Mess, we are going another direction. Because the only way your offense works is if we have far superior talent to every other team in the country. And even then your offense sucks because everyone is stacking the box and knows what the play is before we run it."
Oh, Mess is going at some point - either out the door after one of these seasons by CPR's hand, or out the door following CPR when he's been given his walking papers after several bad years, mostly due to inept offense.
3 of the 4 playmakers mentioned have been injured for numerous games this season. Just sayin
But according to many on this board, Rohach is better than Richardson anyway. So why would that hurt the offense? James White was a starter at the beginning of the year before Wimberly was. Jarvis West wasn't a starter either. Interesting that 2 of the 4 playmakers are on the bench to start the year. So there must be other playmakers as well.
Yes I realize that. However, I mention their names only to argue that we don't have that big of a talent gap relative to others, especially the bottom half of the conference. Too many on here saying, "we don't have the players." We have pretty good players relative to our peers in my opinion. I regret leaving Bibbs and Farniok off my list as well. Thanks for the chance to amend my point.
Those same people think that Mess should stay on as the OC and everything is fine. It is the injuries that is the problem.
