My question is will we ever have a good OC under Kelly. He brought up Rees and Sloan and seems unwilling to go outside his system for an OC. I don't think the OC is the problem, I think its the guy hiring the OC

We had a top 5 offense in the history of the sport last year. Where do you people come from?

I think Sloan gets another year.

Mostly because of the execution issues.

there are some moments and some games were i really felt play calling was bad, but for the most part we had no ability to run the ball, regardless of the play called.

there were times where you could tell he was throwing the kitchen sink at the run game and nothing was working too well.

Ok, I googled it. Sloan’s not doing too great.

But, you might be right - Sloan might well have called plays at LA Tech. Seems he was OC there. Not sure that makes him qualified to do it in the SEC.

Fans always want to blame playcalling, Lincoln Riley is an elite playcaller and we'd all take him over Sloan.

Points Per Game

Riley - 29.8
Sloan - 28

Yards Per Game

Riley - 440.7
Sloan - 436.6

How many coordinators has BK gone through in 3 years?

The subject of the thread is coordinator changes. Not roster management.

But Kelly isn't much better at that either

He's on his second set, I mean House is 100% his fault but it's hard to blame him for Denbrock (and Baker potentially) leaving.

That's far better than O hiring retreads without interviewing them and random young guys like Peetz.

We had a few pretty fricking good players on that offense. Who couldve fricked that up? If Rees was made so good by him why didn't he land another job? Were you impressed by that offense this year with Sloan? Did you see great scheming or innovation? We ran a jailbreak screen against OU and the commentaters said that Sloan put that in that week, it took til the last week in the season to put in a screen. Simple minded motherfrickers.

1. frick Lincoln Riley.

2. I don’t think comparing Riley PPG and YPG to Sloan proves that Sloan is good.

3. Is that USC offense for this year? Cause Riley’s reputation for being a great play caller was built on offensive production years ago. What was PPG/YPG of his offenses at OU with Mayfield and Murray?

Read the article I posted - sloan’s who we’re talking about. He’s not good. So not good that anybody can see it.

It doesn't, my point is that fans make playcalling 80% of the problem when it's usually more like 20%.

Even elite playcallers aren't immune to execution issues.

Riley had a great offense last year, #11 in yardage and #2 in scoring.

That's an opinion from a blogger, he isn't any more qualified to judge Sloan's performance than anyone here.

Only BK can accurately do that.

For the love of God, BK please hire a special teams coach.

And the offense looked entirely different after all players (including the quarterback) had one year in the system.

You mean like the offensive coordinator at Alabama? Then Deboar took over in mid January. Not much time for Rees to find a job at that point. He still ended up in the NFL
quote:

Offense was down across the conference this year. Sloan was only bad in the redzone. Really inside the 10 yard line. The offense moved the ball well all year.

Well this simply isn't true. We ran screens throughout the season.

And I don't know if that's even just him being bad, it's hard to be effective in the red zone with a combination of a pocket passer, no run game, and a weak interior offensive line.

All fair points. I think Sloan totally sucks, but I can’t say FOR SURE the problem is all him.

But on the other hand …. There’s no question Denbrock is better than Sloan at play calling, better OC.

Probably, he's much older and has a lot more experience. That said, I am not in the camp that believes Sloan was only given the job because of Underwood. I think they believed he could do it competently and carry over some continuity.

Would be nice to get a Special Teams coach. Unfortunately I don't expect Brian Kelly to make that change. He seems pretty stubborn on this topic.

I look for LSU to bring in a special teams coach with college and NFL experience to get this unit going in the right direction. I expect that changes will be made possibly by eliminating the dual OC duties between Joe Sloan and Cort Hankins, with maybe a new OC and Sloan being a QB coach as he once was, and Hankins remaining WR coach. We will find out for sure after the bowl game.
