Brady didn't appear out of a magic lamp. O & E looked for a guy who could install the Spread/RPO, and selected Brady. Nice work by E & O, IMO.

This is a great hire

but why coudln't O have jsut found this person in 2017 or 2018.

Why did he hire a guy to help him find a guy to install the offense he wants? Thats just not a brilliant move.

I'm going to enjoy this year with a generational quarterback

we were lucky enough to get. We'll see next year how good

Orgeron is with a new quarterback. the proof will be in the

pudding then. We'll sure have the receivers, but gosh, the

quarterbacks the main man and I suspect that we'll be

good but nothing like this year.

Maybe I'm missing something, but has anyone said it any differently than this?

The rule changed for 2019. But last year, schools had to give permission to transfer the scholarship. Ohio State slow-rolled the permissions. Burrow could have paid his own way and gone anywhere, or waited for permissions/appeals.

In no way were LSU and Cincy Joe's only options. Many would have developed thru the rest of May and June. Joe's brother pushed for LSU, but other schools were interested.

Again, it was only 10 days into the search that LSU signed Burrow.

LSU was a good situation.

We REALLY needed a QB.

Yes. The nega's "dumb luck" false-narrative.

Can you link to someone saying that in this thread? I haven't seen it. All I saw was LNCHBOX saying that Brady was the difference in the offense being better this year vs last year then you and Canwood started taking about hating and nega.

There is a large contingent of our fanbase that will not give O credit for it. I call them the “shite against the wall” contingent, because that’s what they attribute our success to thus far.




You want to give O credit for the 2019 offense back in 2017. That's the ridiculous take.

Orgeron deserves a ton of credit for the success so far this season. Apparently that's not enough for some of you.

Don't task me. That one's been showing up daily lately. Take my word for it, or wait around... it will soon pop up again.

People are just pointing out that you don't hire an OC to find another guy to run your offense.

Steve had a horrible OLine to work with last year, and zero production among recs and rbs. He also had a qb that had just gotten to campus. He still outperformed most offenses in the west. But, you can't get people to be objective on here. Some simply don't have that ability.

And what is the difference here?

Why did it take Urban Meyer 2 years+ to get Ohio States Spread/RPO installed?

This isn't a video game. You don't just click on an icon to launch a new offense.

Is this for real? The guys were largely inexperienced and lost their top OL just prior to the season, to legal issues. In fact, due to injuries and inexperience, they had a different lineup in each of the first 7 weeks. They have made huge strides from last year, just like the wrs have done. If you want to argue that, find someone else. Fact is that offense had ZERO returning production, a new OC, and a new Ol coach, to go with an inexperienced, albeit older starting qb. E actually didn't do badly last year, when compared to other West teams, if you are objective.

The difference is they aren't TF and sophomores anymore. Wow. This improvement started showing up towards the end of last year.

Per The Advocate this morning LSU has started a different O-line in 4 of the 6 games.

a new OC

An entirely new offense was installed this off season and is now the highest scoring team in the country.

I'm simply saying that Brady's offense is better than Ensminger's offense and at the same time saying credit Orgeron and Ensminger for identifying a problem and addressing with a young up and coming talent. Ensminger also deserves a ton of credit for not having an ego and showing the young coach what it takes to be a coordinator on an administrative level.

Which two years are you talking about? He had a top 25 scoring offense his first year at Ohio State and that was with a true sophomore QB who was a WR.

Except we definitely did that this year. We more or less scrapped last years offense.

You may be right. The new WR coach and passing game coordinator probably didn't have any impact on the dramatic improvement in the WRs and passing game this season.
