I think Pellum is way too passive so far with the athletes he has. If your linebackers can't stone anyone straight up, which they can't, then fucking use them! Having to switch to a Cover 2 so Ifo can make all the plays is garbage. Luckily there is no one in this league than can both run and pass really well so it won't matter.
The WR coach has been awesome so far in designing the passing game. There have been tons of route combos that leave someone uncovered up the field against both opponents. His WR's are already better than anything Frost ever put on the field and these guys are mostly freshman. Great hire by Slingblade. The run game has been mediocre in my eyes both by design and performance. The talk about the wealth of talent in the backfield, but outside of Royce Freeman it has been dancing and stupid plays. Honestly I don't think very highly of Scott Frost. I'm ready for him to take a head job at a shit school and disappear, which he will.
Helf is a head coach with a Run, Pass, D, and ST Coordinator. It's hard to really tell what impact he has good or bad. Recruiting is going great, so I will give him credit for that. Next year without Mariota we'll see what happens. We all thought Mike Bellotti was Jesus until Ted and Joey Hamilton (another e-Duck classic) left.
