Always a chance it isn't). The coaches I've spoken with re: recruiting make it seem like it a non stop effort and certain times of the year. Now if we were recruiting someone in Louisiana.......... That was going to be my other solution. Find random kid in Louisiana, say he is the keystone to bringing your offense together. See kid, meet with McNeese, fly back. But I know some folks on here are sensitive to the thought of a coach perhaps living in other truths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to going under Strong's helm, Gilbert's offenses were consistently among the best in the nation (minus one season where he was a co-OC and his team finished 41st in the nation under a backup QB). Furthermore, the high school coaches in Texas are extremely talented. He was considered among the best. Everyone got their wish and Gilbert is gone... I don't believe Gilbert is the problem though. I guess we'll find out if our offense looks similar next season - kinda points the finger back at Strong. Best wishes Sterlin at McNeese State. I hope you resurrect your offense (and your image) and land your dream job as a HC in Texas. Looking forward to seeing what King can do if given the opportunity. If not King, who? Good points, but at this point the fan base had pointed him out as the issue. I 100% believe they were waiting to see if another job panned out for him before firing him. I don't have a reason to believe in Mike Kelly yet, but I feel like Strong knows that if he comes back with the same product on the field next year, he'll definitely be the one on the block.

To the point of him serving his master....unless CCS told him not to watch any film on the most explosive offense in program history, I have my relative doubts on this theory I hope so too, but Charlie has said on numerous occasions our offense moved faster than he preferred and wanted to slow it down. I am glad SG is gone, but evidence points that he may have been taking orders from above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe this move is a fix all given the conservative mentality in game/clock management, but I do think the new OC will have more flexibility in running the show on their side of the ball Edited December 5, 2018 by IBulleve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's go USFast (irony). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes we'll have to fill the gap created Why is it obvious to promote Shaun King. He has no playcalling experience. It could be a good move, but he will be learning that job on the job.
