We want to gain little to no yards = Williams

We want a chance to gain a lot of yards = Durham

Don’t forget first he went “hmmm” like he didn’t know that happened. Dude is checked out. Throwing Frank under the bus isn’t going to work pal

So is he just like O as a sideline cheerleader? Acts like he has no input into the decisions, calls, or personnel

Our offense is the most predictable offense in the SEC. Do they not think other coaches dont see that?

Yea. And people wanted to pin personnel decisions on Sloan.

Sloan is the least of the issues we have.

Can you imagine if our opponents handcuffed their best players against us the way we do Durham?

Would be nice.

You think Kelly determines who goes in for certain plays? Wilson is the guy who puts in the Backs.

I think Kelly has the authority to overrule Wilson, who is really only on staff because he is a great recruiter.

Yes, he can overrule, but he doesn't.

Can you imagine if the head coach would determine who plays on each play at each position?

That's the position coach's responsibility unless the head coach overrules, but that happens maybe 2 percent of the time.

I’m guessing he’s feeding into trying to keep the whole room happy, but it is mind numbingly stupid to have Johnson in there getting touches over Durham. You simply can’t justify that. If Frank can’t figure it out, he shouldn’t be here.

You'd have to watch the link I provided.

Kelly has no idea what the reporter is talking about at first. It takes him 13 seconds to even conjure up an answer. The reporter essentially asks, hey, this kid rips off these big runs and then we see him come out in the redzone, do you lack confidence him him in the redzone? Kelly sat there and then finally responded as though it was like a one time thing that this has happened, and then topped it off with the fact that his running back coach rotates running backs in the game based upon the offensive play calling. Which means, that now, for all you know, your RB coach could be telegraphing tendencies to the opposing team.

For me, it was him like.. not knowing that this was a thing. It seems blatantly obvious to all that watch that there is a pattern of Durnham ripping off huge runs and then 18 coming in in the redzone. It was like the first time he was ever made aware that this happens.

I imgine they discuss who and when players get touches.

Durham is a freshmen so maybe the whole playbook isn’t open for him yet.

he’s also coming off an injury.

So our trick play that we're saving for Vandy is that he's going to break the tendency! Lol

I’m not saying he should be making personnel calls every single play, but he can tell Frank “I want our best running back to be on the field when we get in the redzone”

I think he is still nursing an injury. He was run down from behind on the first big run. Prior to his injury he scores that 10/10
