Good job to all the Dean haterz in this thread, you done good.
Pumped about this hire. Just as interested to see who is brought in as the other CO-OC and WR's coach. Cumbie???

Very telling stat in my opinion. Why we would want to pass the majority of the time is beyond me... especially with all our runningbacks.Originally Posted by OU Adonis
Nope...not Cumbie
The Football Brainiacs~UPDATE (12:47 pm): Our guy Brandon (@TheDrakeTFB) has spoken to his source close to Sonnie Cumbie and has been told that if the Lincoln Riley news is true, then Cumbie is not interested in a move for a co-OC position as a non-playcaller.
watched ECU vs V Tech offensive highlights from 2013 on You tube. Unimpressed. No meerkat, but I did see some swing passes and pistol. Lots of pro back sets and empty backfield. No TE use. not much vertical. Just one game but...didn't look very dynamic. Looked kinda like a big ten team decided to pass a lot.
ECU broke a ton of offensive records with Riley, so I'm not sure the Big 10 offense is an apt comparison TBH.

Very interesting. Anyone know what our run/pass ratio was in '08? Had a 4,000 yard passer and two 1,000 yard rushers.

On the face of it, this hire doesn't make a lot of sense. We just spent Heupel's tenure trying to toughen up our OL and introduce more balance to the offense. Josh may have been a boneheaded playcaller, but we did do just that. And now we want to go back the spread?
589 Rushes / 517 Passes
53.25% rush / 46.75% Pass

Never too early to start the cynicism.
Truth
I might as well go ahead and start this......Fire Lincoln Riley. He's been on the job over an hour and I'm not impressed.
You can be a cynic, but it *is* too early to call for his job. You can't do that until we get the details of his contract. Then you can ask "what are we get for our $XXX from this guy? Fire LR!". Protocol, man.I might as well go ahead and start this......Fire Lincoln Riley. He's been on the job over an hour and I'm not impressed.
I am not saying we won't win some games with him. I just don't think we will ever win a NC throwing the ball 60% of the time. We have a better chance winning a NC with the triple option.
Could be, but it's way too early to know what he will run here. Young guys tend to be more open minded than older guys and from what I've read, he has morphed his scheme to fit the players available during his stint at ECU. Hard to argue with that, IMO. What will be most interesting for me to watch in year one will be the development of existing players. Will we see guys that were considered under achievers step up to their recruiting hype? Could go the other way as well. I think that will be more telling of his long term success than the short term Xs and Os.
This is Bobs last gasp. If we have a couple more 8-5 or 9-4 seasons in the next 3-4 years then he will be gone. Better hope your right for Bobby's sake.
were they school records, conference records, NCAA records, what?
i guess it looked like a plain vanilla air raid, for lack of a better term.
As it should be. 3-4 years is a long time in CFB. But one year for a new OC is not a lot of time to make a call unless the results are extreme (positive or negative). Also need to see how his first year of recruiting turns out and I'm not counting the last couple weeks of this year, although he could try to help keep the commits on board.
Yeah, but he's already gotten a few commitments in line...lolI might as well go ahead and start this......Fire Lincoln Riley. He's been on the job over an hour and I'm not impressed.
