Warren Getting Noticed

Does that mean our oline is better now?
With a new found rushing game Be Like Mike, Sam should be passing gangbusters. If he does the same at TT, Lanning should start the next game. Hells bells, this is time for Sam to shine. He has seven receivers who can catch balls and he has a great running back and the oline is old.

Yep. And I know the senior transfer thing hasn't caught CFB like it has with CBB, but I could see a couple of our seniors, if eligible to do so, transfer to another school. These are just things you have to expect with a coaching change though.
So it appears that some coaches are "coaching up" their guys. If CPR is really the issue, I'd be fine letting Blaney, Mangino, or Ayeni take over the reigns for the rest of the year. Ayeni can obviously recruit and teach.
Mangino is a huge(no pun) part of the problem. If Rhoads can scrape through & make it to next year, I Promise you Mangino won't be here. 0%
CPR has given a lot of props to the offensive coaching staff over the last 3 games for what they are doing schematically to get the running game working.
It would be nice if the offense would tilt the run/pass balance a little more towards the former. Sam can't close the deal with a pass right now, even if a cheap hooker is on the receiving end of it.
Are there a lot of other examples of him being a good recruiter besides Mike Warren? I know he had good backs at Toledo, but that doesn't make him a good recruiter. Just wondering who else he has reeled in.
Coaches Ayeni and Blaney both kind of came here in a "package deal" when Mangino came in, correct? Pretty sure at least Blaney is an old friend of MM.
That's my only fear in firing CPR, you lose the good assistants. How do you dispatch the bad coaches and keep the good ones? Probably can't be done. Most new coaches wouldn't want MM around, and you lose him, you probably lose Blaney, too, possibly Ayeni. Or, a new coach may prefer to clean house completely.

Blaney was heavily wanted by Mangino because they had worked well together previously. Ayeni came here on his own but being able to coach under Mangenius (as he calls him) was a big factor
