John Donovan named OC

I want NDSU's OC.

This is the type of shit we should be doing. Coaching is coaching. Guys that kill it at lower levels are doing something right most the time. I would have been perfectly fine with a move like that. It’s still a risk but at least you have something to be hopeful about and some proof they know what they are doing.

Sure, Beau Baldwin flamed out at Cal but Yursich was coaching at Nowhere State A&M before Gundy got him to Oklahoma State. We couldn’t get him to probably answer a call for this search.

One thing I do know is Hamden was terrible at assessing talent.

You don't think he had a hand in starting Fuller and Opera over wideouts with talent?

Just playing guys like Puka, Spiker and McMillan should be an instant boost in the O.

If I'm an O-coordinator who wants be pro-style run first, I'm copying the SF offense. Run guys in motion and throw/run to the vacant area. I'd do that all day.

I don’t think Pete allowed them to play because they did not show it in practice

That always made me laugh.

I just wanted to ask him when he'd say that shit, but are they showing it in games?

Our route combos have always seemed horrible and often there were two guys in the same area. It’s what happens when you ask all of them to run routes according to the defense’s position. It also makes it hard on QB’s and could be a reason why our QB’s hold the ball so damn long.
 
I would give anything to have a mobile QB and run a lot of RPO’s. Passing plays with where if the QB’s one and two aren’t open he takes off and has a safe check down. A mobile QB that can throw is nearly impossible to stop. Not many of them out there tho. I was hoping Yankoff could have been that guy.

Yeah, but it’s also a good way to murder your QB. You have a couple of high ceiling QBs in the pipeline...running a RPO system should work well if you have a great OC.

Unfortunately on that front...
 
I wonder if Donovan now regrets leaving Jacksonville? Oh, wait. He wouldn't have even sniffed an interview for this job.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28475805/jaguars-oc-john-defilippo-mutually-part-ways-1-season

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars and offensive coordinator John DeFilippo have mutually agreed to part ways after just one season, the team announced Monday.

Nobody was hiring Donovan. He barely existed until Lake saved him. You don’t be an offensive analyst and assistant RB coach by choice.
