Young Up & Comers for OC

quote:

---

He is already here and is an elite recruiter and his work turning JD into the beast he was puts him in the driver seat. It’s like a second coming of Joe Brady

---

Being a great developer and elite recruiter is fantastic and need to keep. But that doesn’t make you a great play caller.

What’s his history as an OC?

quote:

---

I’ll take Sloan.

---

Why? Other than recruiting, what’s his playcalling like? What is his history with offenses? How did they perform? What kind of offense does he prefer ?

quote:

---

Can you post stats that actually matter. Like PPG or YPG. No one cares about 4th down conversion rate when hiring an OC

---

sure ill do some extra digging for your lazy arse

quote:

---

During the 2020 campaign, Sloan oversaw a Louisiana Tech offense that ranked first in C-USA and second in the FBS in fourth down conversions at 88.9 percent (16-of-18). He guided the offense to rank fourth in C-USA and 53rd in the FBS in red zone offense at 84.6 percent (33-of-39). The Louisiana Tech offense also ranked fourth in C-USA in passing with an average of 216.6 passing yards per game.

---

Those are some very cherry picked stats from C-USA and didn’t answer how he is as a play caller.

Once again, being a great developer and elite recruiter doesn’t make you a great Playcaller

I’m not against Sloan by any means, I’ve just never seen him as a play caller while he was at LaTech. Never watched them play.

But here are some statistics from 2020 (I don’t put much stock in anything 2020) and 2021

2020 FBS ranks as OC
Total offense - 117th
Scoring - 78th / 26.7ppg
Rushing - 119th
Passing - 74th / 216.6 ypg
3rd down - 75th / 38.46%

2021
Total offense - 77th
Scoring -70th / 28ppg
Rushing - 105th
Passing - 35th / 261.8 only bright spot of improvement
