Being a head coach goes way beyond X’s and O’s. It’s about overall management of the organization. Time to give O credit for his CEO moves that bettered the organization.

Canada ouster and Ensminger hire
Burrow recruitment even though it may cost you some QBs
Signing Tracy to a one year scholarship
Swallowing pride and throwing the bank to keep Aranda
Hiring consultants
Hiring special teams coordinator
Finding a kickoff specialist
Late signing of Jefferson last year
Bringing in a 70+ yr coach for WRs

All tough decisions. All were the right move.

We comin’

Still not sold on Ensminger as a viable long term option at OC.

The WRs have had issues with drops but came through in the clutch big time yesterday so jury still out on the 70 year old WR coach.

Can’t really argue with any of the other points.

Clock and game management alone are huge improvements under CEO.

Swallowing pride?

I don't understand this one. What does he have to be proud about in regards to Aranda. He knows his livelihood depends on him.

If he let Aranda go to A&M he would be out in short order.

He improved the QB position, the special teams, and the defense has beaucoup depth.

I don’t blame people for doubting him but there’s no denying he addressed weaknesses and made them stronger. In the case of special teams, night and day.

Kudos to CEO

Agree with your list, but holding off on this one right now, mostly because we've only played 3 games and the offense still has a lot of room to improve.

That said, I generally liked the playcalling yesterday and it made me feel like the offense is trending in the right direction.

u have no clue yet. what we do know is O meddled because of him not undersyanding it and his ego and Canada never ran his full offense but i doubt you are educated on this.
