Canada didn't run a shite ton of intermediate out routes? I was asking honestly and hoping the person who made that observation would expound on it.

It was never going to Briles which is smart. No reason for LSU to take a risk on him.

Makes sense that JA wants a say in the hire. He knows if O screws this up his arse is gone too.

Speaks to the fact that maybe he should have hired someone he can trust to not screw up an OC hire but whatever.

It does. But I'm a believer in Canada's system. If it's executed properly and the right players do their jobs at the right times, we have a good offense. As with many of our previous offenses, we lacked a QB that wasn't just a game manager. And when our QB was hot, our receivers dropped the beautiful dimes all year long. We just couldn't pull it all together all at once. We kinda did against a7m though.

Agree. Another year under Canada would have been beautiful. Its built in such a way that even low level talent can thrive in it.

Unfortunatley that was impossible.

It took less than an hour after the UH announcement for this column to be published.

Gilbert runs a pass option spread offense. Plenty of pass option spreads run intermediate out routes. They also run other routes as well though. But they are far from the same offense.

It seems like a Father/Son Relationship to me. Alleva is keeping O on a leash.

It shouldn't be this way though. You hire a head coach and then trust him with the autonomy to hire his coaching staff outside of the AD probing the hire for potential red flags. It's troubling that we've got a head coach who doesn't have that level of trust to run the program.



Yeah well, when you make a poor coaching hire, it prevents you from running the program the way it should be run. Good coaches don't fire their OCs in year one.

Thanks. I wasn't trying to imply the offenses were similar. Just that under utilizing the middle of the field was a poplar knock on Canada.

I think the thought is that the outs would spread out the middle of the field (safeties) allowing more room for running between the tackles. That’s only effective if they respect the pass though.

Imagine how much worse it would be if a top tier SEC school like LSU took him. National writers would take up residence down here til LSU was on probation.

That’s why the kind of people who run $100 million organizations like LSU Athletics have to make $100 million choices like “can’t hire Briles.” The risk is far too great at this level.

Briles would've been a good hire but I think Gilbert is a better one so I don't have any issues if they hired Gilbert in his place.
