Nussmeier and Fuente makes the most sense to me.

We not only need a coach that can run a quality, balanced, and lean to pro-set/I to meet miles philosophy. We need a guy that can recuit.

I like Nussmeier my self. a young guy who's played the position, has played and coached in the n.f.l., has come up the ranks under some very good offensive coaches in pat hill, sark, john l smith ect.

he should be able to relate to kids, sell/recruit for the program, coach up talent, and run a balanced offense.

i think he's definately interested because his wife is from lake charles. she comes from a close family and would like to get closer to home.

They are both intriguing. What were the offenses that Nuss was the OC for ranked?

Fuente i love, Nussmeier would worry me. A lot. A LOT. Jake Locker was awful this year, he regressed horribly.

i don't know. i don't think that is as important as having the right fit. I don't know what jim mcelwain's offense ranked at fresno prior to going to alabama. however, he's fits what they are trying to do and he's done very well. Same with jim chaney at tenn.

I'm leaning on nussmeier because i believe if the guy had as much success as he did playing the position in college and pro, he obviously know's how to attack a defense. Then, he has come up the ranks with some of the best offensive coaches in college football. I don't think it would be him no knowing what or how to formulate a plant to attack a defense.

i like his nfl background to go with being a relatively young coach. he should be able to recruit and coach. which is what we need. not just a good offensive mind like g.c..

as to the cat that don't like him because he feels locker didn't perform well. locker had one of his best season this year. he got better as the season went on. And, he picked apart one of the best defenses/minds in the country in pelini during the bowl game.

they were awful, worse than ours if you consider the disparity in defenses he faced and the fact that he was supposed to have a first round QB - even a number 1 overall according to some - in Locker

LSU 2010
total offense: 341 ypg (86th)
scoring offense: 30 ppg (45th)
passing offense: 155 ypg (107th)
rushing offense: 185 ypg (28th)
time of possession: 30:10 (57th)


WASHINGTON 2010
total offense: 363 ypg (76th)
scoring offense: 22 ppg (96th)
passing offense: 190 ypg (84th)
rushing offense: 172 ypg (38th)
time of possession: 29:06 (81st)


WASHINGTON 2009
total offense: 376 ypg (62nd)
scoring offense: 26 ppg (69th)
passing offense: 237 ypg (40th)
rushing offense: 139 ypg (68th)
time of possession: 30:25 (49th)

I'm with you on Nussmeier. I like the style of offense he runs. He's played and coached at all levels. Not to mention the fact that he recruited the Texas and Louisiana areas for Michigan State. And he was the one Joe Montana credited for the signing of his son Nick.

Stats don't tell the whole story. There is a lot of stuff that people don't know about if you aren't a Washington fan that makes it look like the offense was horrible.

well, if your just a simple minded individual who can only look at the national ranking for offense, which changes every year, then you are saying Sark sucks at offense as well.

I think most people would agree that sark is and has been one of the best offensive minds in football for a while now.

Washington was one of the worst teams in college football just three years ago. now, they are a winning bowl team with a two year winning streak over u.s.c.. considering they don't have the same talent, but are improving, it's a pretty good accomplishment. considering they put up 35 points on MONTE KIFFIN, a hall of fame defensive coach. Picked apart BO PELINI, a very well respected defensive coach. Not bad accomplishments.

look on rivals who this guy is responsible for getting commits from. he's a good recruiter and he know's the game.

just for the point, check out 2007-2008 Notre dame.

2007 rank- 118 Notre Dame 3344 278.7 2441 203.4 903 75.3 197 16.4

2008 rank 58 Notre Dame 4616 355.1 3380 260.0 1426 109.7 321 24.7

charlie weis is a bad offensive coach?

Oohhh, yes, I’m too simple minded. Please come down from Olympus and explain football to me and how the numbers teams put up are irrelevant.

I sure as frick wouldn’t. Why, because he came from USC? Because he had better players than everyone on the planet?

“Hey, Reggie Bush, run faster than everyone. Yaay, my plan worked!”

Monte Kiffin is 900 years old and hasn’t done shite in college.

quote:

Picked apart BO PELINI, a very well respected defensive coach.

“picked apart”? They scored 17. The first TD was after a Nebraska fumble on their own 21.

And that was the second time they played Pelini, after the team fell apart at the end of the year. The first time they played Nebraska beat them 56-21, in Washington.

Yes, he’s an overrated jackass who did nothing at notre dame and who apparently didn’t mean that much to the patriots considering they've done just fine without him.

Locker was only awful according to the hype (those predicting him to be a Heisman winner... 1st overall pick).

His year was solidly productive and way better than anything we had.

I'm not saying Locker is a victory... I am saying he may have gotten the most out of a kid who is basically an athlete (option QB in HS) playing QB trying to run a pro-style offense...

They do not have much to work with at UW if you watched any games their line sucked, Locker ran out of necessity alot. He never seemed comfortable in the pocket in the games I saw.
