I genuinely think that a lot of people are nervous about next year are looking for things to blame as to why it won’t go well. kind of pathetic imo. we’re gonna be just fine.

Your title and body are asking two different things.

Billy Gonzales sucked arse here. But we were excited about the hire.

Everyone on the rant was disapointed a couple years ago when hired a 74 year old dude as PGC but he was a decent hire to get the ball rolling on to brady the next season. Brady was just unbelievable.

it's such an insignificant position, that the right hire led to the greatest offense in CFB history.

I think if Ensminger had his a system and a history of success running it, people wouldn't sweat the PGC hire. I'm taking a wait and see approach, personally. I'm pretty confident that if Linehan doesn't work out, he'll be replaced and they have all season to be putting feelers out to see who is interested.

Our last thee hires have been

2018 Jerry Sullivan
2019 Joe Brady
2020 Linehan

The last offense Linehan ran was built around the run game and as soon as he left Dal has a career year and Dallas has the #1 offense in the country (his replacement is 31)

As influential as the Saints were on our offense we still ran those concepts in a very college style way.

We never huddles, outside QB sneaks and Victory Knees we never went under center, we went uptempo all the time, we rarely subbed.
We were still very much a college offense.

The last offense Linehan hand was under center 50% of the time.m, and was very run heavy.

I dont Have stats going back to Detroit but I would imagine he ran a lot of stuff under center going back in his career.

So there is always the questions: how does it translate, what is he bringing, and is this a good fit?

O thinks so, but for every Brady he hires he also hired a Canada and a Sullivan.

It's no surprise that after the season we just had that some people still don't just trust the judgement of the HC. I think we damn well should-he has certainly earned it.

So basically just invert reality is your argument. Par for the course here.

How many programs have seen their program go from terrible offensively to the best passing offense in the history of college football where it coincided with a new passing game coordinator.
