Gilbert Rumors

[SoFlo All Day]

Twitter blowing up about him leaving for LSU... apparently they are "closing in" on him...whatever the hell that means. 

I mean it is LSU the same program that fired Les Miles, brought him back and then fired him for real midway through the next season. But if these rumors are true and pan out then Christmas has come early in 2018.

If he leaves we need to bring in Weist or Reeves ASAP....or promote King ( that would protect him from getting poached by Taggart too)

King should get the chance to be OC. Bring in Reeves to take King’s current position

What makes anyone think CCS would have a new OC run a different type of offense?

My concern as well. Gilbert could be an excellent OC, but Strong may prefer HB dives to better position the defense. New OC would have to dance to Strong's tune.

I think if he stays we might see the other side of the play napkin next season. My conjecture is that he would have more trust/confidence in the new qb then he did in Q.

Its really amazing the hate for Sterlin Gilbert.  One of the best offenses of our history, and people want him gone.  The UCF loss had nothing to do with him and essentially that was the only game that mattered.  Houston loss wasn't on him either, although the clock management wasn't good down the stretch.  It was the D that couldn't hold the lead in that one.  Our fans are great...

Its not just the fans - you could tell some of the players, Quinton in particular, were visibly frustrated on offense. He underutilized Johnson- the stats don't lie there - and tried to turn Q into a pocket passer. There were a number of different instances where he neglected our strengths in crucial situations in order to implement his vanilla offense and it didn't work - happened in the houston game once or twice in the first half and again late in the 4th. An offensive coordinator that calls 4 straight HB dives in the red zone on multiple occasions throughout the game especially when he has as elusive as a QB as Flowers is probably doing something very wrong.

500yds/38 pts per game. We can only hope whoever is oc next year does things just as wrong ...

The last season is in the past. We have a bright season coming up, let’s see how things progress.

Against who? You're looking at the result when the process was way more important to look at here, especially given our weak schedule and the talent gap between USF and its opponents this year. We do not score 38 points per game and rack up 500 yds if we play a harder schedule.   

The offense never really got into rhythm. Besides the UCF game and the second half of the Texas Tech game, where Q either went superhuman or decided to go rogue from the play calling and try to will his team to victory, the offense was downright frustrating from the start and no real adjustment was made to work towards our strengths.
