Steve Spurrier Jr is wide receivers coach at MSU---could he be OC?

He’s also listed as passing game coordinator, so think he was more involved than just being outside receivers coach

Doubtful.

Don’t leach quarterbacks call their own plays? Pretty sure Leach just sent in formations and the QB called the actual plays. I know that’s how it worked elsewhere when he had upperclassmen QBs but maybe that changed in the last few years.

Leach called the original play, but according to front and coverage Rogers had the authority to check.

Definitely was not his philosophy at WSU.

quote:

former Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday: "By the end of my junior year and all through my senior year, I was probably calling 70 percent of the plays. He would give me a formation and then I would call the play. His coaching philosophy is, you’re out there on the field, you can see the way the defense is lined up better than I can. So it’s my job to get you to the best point of believing in yourself and believing in your ability to call the plays. That’s the way he coaches. He does it in a roundabout way sometimes, but it’s his philosophy to get the quarterback to run the entire show."

Would be an abject disaster. He's never called plays before and is a 51 year old position coach.

His own father wouldn't let him call plays if that tells you anything. Ask Iowa what the opposite is like.

We have 4 million dollars to blow, there is no reason to hire internally when we can pay top dollar for a ready made offense that loses 2 or 3 starters at most.
