John Donovan named OC

Not sure why you are all surprised. I new who it was a week ago. Once you realize Jimmy is only hiring guys who played DB in College it really narrows down the offense coaching candidates.
 
At first glance it seemed like a poor hire. As I read more about him, it began to seem really shitty.

That was exactly how it was for me. My self-dialogue was, "well hang on, find out more. There has to be a good reason for this."
 
If his coaching of Blake Bortles is a sign, we will be in the cellar in no time at all.
 
Jags wouldn't even let him be a position coach.

But as Pete said - it's all about the kids. And Donovan has 3 of them to feed.

What a fucking disaster of a coaching search. My excitement for Jimmy Lake has gone from raging to completely flaccid in 3 weeks.
 
Penn St fans on reddit:

“Not to doom and gloom things but he’s our worst OC of the past two decades.”

“He ran a read option with Christian Hackenberg”

“Bubble screens, jet sweeps, and getting sacked on a two man rush.”

“The Jimmy Lake era has ended before it even began.”

“I hope y’all like jet sweeps to the short side of the field.”

FML!

More of the same shit.
 
A play in 4 acts:

Act I - Initial reaction is "who?" - feeling bad
Act II - Look up his background - feeling worse
Act III - Almost everyone on HCH hates the hire - shaking and about to vomit
Act IV - @Dennis_DeYoung is livid - feeling much better, quite optimistic really

From here until the first drive against Michigan, or at least until the first drive of the spring game, I plan to be obnoxiously leading the John Donovan bandwagon.
 
Rumor is he convinced jimmy with his scheme. It's a combination of air raid and triple option concepts.
 
What is it about football and the love of hiring failed coaches? This guys fucking sucks, pick a random OC from the FCS, at least you have a prayer.
