Right now he has better offensive talent at OSU.

I can't believe I just typed that.

I can't believe I read it and agreed.

I saw a private jet heading north. I'm pretty sure that was him but I wanted to make sure and look at my plane tracker on my phone. It was him. Done deal

I really will be surprised if he isn't offered a HC job. I know he interviewed with Pitt. I could see Miami looking hard at him.

Not really. It's just the same as the ambiguous wtf could that be about titles. I'm working and often don't have time to read all the "what if" threads and just focus on the real news.
Most times SF is better than espin for getting sports news.

That's not a good enough reason. I'd rather have a more physical offense than what Holgerson offers.

Because the guy is a hellova coach.. Anyone who can coach osu's offense to be the best gotta be good.. He's probably better than anyone we'll get thats why..

Uh...they've had a really good offense for the past like 5 years. Holgerson just kept it going at a good pace. It's still too finesse for me.

No. Don't see where that question came from based on what I posted.

Finesse? You do know Hunter just got All American honors right? They had a pretty balanced attack.

How often did they line up in the shotgun and how often did they line up under center with a couple of TEs and a FB? Finesse doesn't mean you can't run the ball.

And that was so totally different from ours this year and last year, and the year before that how?

Do you even remember the 2008 offense? We lined up under center a lot. And we ran it down people's throats. Well, most of the time. For the past two years, we haven't had as physical a line as we had in 2008. Not the same as Holgerson's offense.

boomermagic

12/12/2010, 04:43 PM

Does it really matter how ya get there as long as you go ? The guy is the best I want the best because OU IS the best so as I said WHY NOT ?

Tigeman

12/12/2010, 04:45 PM

Yep, I remember 08' very well. If you remember the knock on Sam was that he never lined up under center. Hardly ever at least.... maybe 15% of the time if that.

I agree we did run it down people's throat, but that was a function of our OLine, not the change in philosophy from offense.

So what I'm getting is your trying to say you want us to run a pro-style offense?

Somewhat. I want to keep some spread elements in there to take advantage of the talent we have at WR and to keep the defense honest, but mostly I want us to have a more physical ground game to control the game and wear down the opposing defense.

Tigeman

12/12/2010, 04:47 PM

I'd have no problem at all w/ Malzahn or Holgerson.

But I'm VERY VERY cautious on Harsin. Apparently that offense was Peterson's baby. He calls the plays if you believe what comes out of Boise.

Personally I prefer the physical tough offensive approach as well BUT I think it's most people's opinion here that Stoops will promote from the current staff so I doubt we'll have that type of offense if he does.. I believe Stoops prefers the Finesse offensive approach.. We could get the guy so why don't we ?

That is my preference as well but I don't think it's Bob's.. Look at the people he has hired starting with Leach..

Mahlzan is not going to leave Auburn for another OC position, when he leaves it will be for a Head Coach position.

silverwheels

12/12/2010, 05:05 PM

I think we all agree w/ you Silverwheels that we'd like to see the run game improve w/ a power back.

Our Oline just needs alot of work to achieve that. Murray gained alot of yards this year through sheer determination. Especially in the OSU game and the Nebbish game.

If Patton is gone with Wilson, maybe we will see that.

I think the same is true of Holgerson.

I disagree, First off, We can pay more than osu. Secondly, Being an OC at OU instead of osu is a big difference.. Much better place to coach at OU and looks much better on a resume'.. The guy at Auburn is coaching the nations number one team he might not leave but coaching at Boone's place ain't no big deal folks.. We can get Holgerson..

While true, I think he'd rather be a head coach than be an OC at OU. I don't think he would leave OSU to be an OC anywhere else for like a year and then take a head coaching job.

And it looks like Malzahn is the new HC at Vandy.

I would offer Holgerson and see.. Couldn't hurt..

Holgerson is not the best OC out there. .

He's more than likely one of the best looking to move to greener pastures

Again, he took a good OSU offense and kept putting up numbers. He didn't take a crappy offense and revolutionize everything..

Are you saying that we are a crappy offense who needs to revlolutionize everything as opposed to an offense who needs a guy who is able to help continue to put up good numbers? :confused: I could find more than a couple of people on this bored that would disagree with that.

No. I'm saying I don't think Holgerson is the best thing since sliced bread. I just don't like his style of offense, but that's just me.

I guess it depends on who you talk to as to who is the best OC out there.. I do think he is very good and I think there is a good chance he would make the move to Norman.. Having said that, I doubt he gets an offer but I wish he would because I think he is better than anyone Bob has on his staff offensively speaking..

His STYLE of offense scored over 40 points on us this year.. How many points did osu score on us last year ?

Well, technically ... his offense put up 27 points. OSU scored 7 on an interception return, and 7 on a kickoff return. OSU deserves credit for those points, but they weren't offensive points.

Yeah.

And last year, OSU was playing in Norman where OU is damn near invincible. And Robinson was injured. And Gundy was still calling plays.

Yes, Gundy was calling plays last year when they scored 0 against us.. Thats my point.. Anyway, even if he doesn't get a head coaching job I doubt Bob get's him but I can think of worse..

Gundy scored 41 on us the last time we played in Stillwater as well.

Holgorsen is a weird dude. I don't see Mack hiring him. Really he has no reason to leave OSU unless he gets a massive raise or Head Coaching job.

He has put up some gaudy numbers against weak teams and decent numbers against good teams. But still not enough to win against the best teams he has been pitted against.

I wouldn't have taken the Pitt job with Pedersen as AD there either. WVU might be a good place for him. Morgantown would be a good place to live and Coach.

I don't really think he is Head Coach material for anyone. He reminds me of a cross between Beavis and Butthead with a really good working knowledge of Offense.
