failed due to a poor pass or bobbled reception.

This sounds critical. I'm going to nominate you for the blacklist.

Only because we were afraid to throw the intermediate pass and had no confidence in completing a high % of them.

The long passes are viewed as a 50/50 chance since it is normally a 1 on 1 so DE16 didn't have to read but one coverage. Kept him from throwing into double coverage most of the time. So the receiver either catches it or it is incomplete most of the time. At worst, an interception acts like a punt instead of a turnover near the LOS which can be deadly in a offensive series.

Straight out of the offensive planning room.

Brennan turns out to be legit.

I pray either brennan or narcisse can get it done. Im sure one of them will.

As for the missed opportunities, I thought that it was our Achilles heal all year long.

CMC has a knack for dialing up the right play at the right time and we consistently missed on the opportunities.

I really hope CMC comes back cuz I think either Brennan or Narcisse will give him much more to work with and lead to some great offense.

You are exactly right. How many times did we throw a seam route to a TE this year? How many slants were thrown? Not many deep wheel routes. But, at we least we learned how to complete a screen pass. So, there is hope for the future. Before DE got here, we couldn't complete any of those 4 routes, now looks like we have a couple of them working.
Hopefully, our next QB can continue the progress that was started last year once Miles was fired.

We need Canada to stay too. If we have a new OC we’ll have two young inexperienced QBs learning another new system. Everything I’ve heard and read about Brennan is that he’s one of these guys who stays in the playbook and looks like as much of a sure fire pro as anyone but changing coordinators could slow or ruin his progression. Narcisse may need more time and that ok but i think Canada’s offense would max out his potential as well.

I agree with the optimism of a Canada offense and Brennan at the QB. I think he could be an All-SEC performer and turn us into a pass first offense that then sets up a formidable run game. And since it doesn't look like we will have a superstar RB next year we will probably need that.

Even if Canada leaves, I still think that Brennan will flourish under the right OC. I like Steve E (known him since he was in JR high) but he really doesn't want the job and I think we need a fresher play caller. More innovation, more up to date thoughts. With the little I have seen of MB, if he can get through progressions against good defenses, we should be really good on offense next year. Of course, we have to provide some protection. But even with that he seems to be able to throw on the run better than DE16 has during most of his career.
So I am looking forward to next year.

A question that has plagued this team for 5 seasons now.
Dropped passes.
Wide open receivers.
List goes on.

I personally believe that Canada's motion pre snap is a game changer because it makes the defense adjust and keeps them from just loading up and playing the position. Plus, giving the same look and then adjusting to pass or run, etc. all of that people already know. Just saying, It is effective. Your question is however no different with any coordinator. Execution is key. Why I was an advocate of not firing miles. Execution/discipline has to happen.

I agree i think Ensminger did a good job last season but you’re right we need something fresh. Canada is the guy but if he leaves we need someone new, what worries me about O is that we didn’t make a clean break from the previous regime and i saw lingering offensive habits early on this year. Not that we were calling the same plays but it was the same rythm the same approach. I don’t want some flag football spread pass but we need a modernized attack whether that’s Canda or something that resembles a modern NFL offense.
