re: I'm starting the Coach E bandwagon. Who's on board?

I never said it was a terrible looking hire. Why would you say this????

I inferred it from your first line where you stated, "I was skeptical when he was hired because, like O, it felt like there was no search." I agree with that assessment, but if I misrepresented your point of view I apologize. That was not my intent.

Who are we to judge on play calling and X's and O's.

First, it's what all fans do. While these guys are experts, they're experts in football. We'd be terrible at it, but most seasoned fans who have played a time or two could call plays badly if they were given a head set. Let's stop pretending they are neurosurgeons.

That being said, we can not judge him for the job he was actually hired to do until the actually does it. the only thing that can be judged right now are if you think he was a qualified hire and whatever he says he's going to do when he actually coaches a game. everything else is just speculation...good or bad.

Really?? None?? Are you sure about that?

Yes. He has not installed his own offense as a full time OC in 20 years and even back then he was never considered some fantastic OC. Until he does it and we see the results, we have no idea what he;s going to produce.

So when he took over in 2016, he was a part-time OC - wtf are you talking about??? He called every play in 8 games that year.

Utilizing someone else's playbook and what amounts to someone else's offensive players. him calling plays at the interim OC is as much of an indicator as to how good a job he'd be installing his own system and calling plays on a yearly basis as Orgeron's interim gigs were in deciding if he'd be a good full time head coach.
