Just think how good we could of been with say Charlie Strong at the helm or CWT in earlier. Talented players mean nothing if they are not put in the right place to succeed. Look at UL, ND, Michigan, Stanford, NW, Miami, etc. All those teams went through bad coaching hires, got rid of them, then hired the guy to lead them. Those teams always had talented players but no one to "coach" them up. Another example is FSU the last few years with bobby at the helm. They had top 10 recruiting classes every year playing in the ACC and did crap. Bobby retires (forced out) and now they are competing for ACC Championships and BCS bowls. COACHING MATTERS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ never had a full corp of receivers or backs to take some of the pressure off or even to have a reliable safety valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Matt Floyd turns into Peyton Manning, you can basically punch our ticket to the Big 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i know is you prob. cant name a single player in the Holtz New Error that didnt regress in development. Not a 1 player made any sort of progression as a player. That all on coaching. There was tons of talent on the team offensively and defensively. Offensively - BJ (NFL Backup now), Lamar, Shaw, Andre Davis, T-Rex, Dunkly, Griffin, Price, McFarland, Landi, etc... Def - Grissom, Giddens, Chandler, Watson, Forte, Barrington, Lattimore, Kavon, Jenkins, Joyce, Lejiste, etc The cupboard wasnt bare. we had the one season where our Wr's were super light but after that we were fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the niners system, Kap has options to make moves. BJ will be fine if he isnt pigeon holed into a pure dorp back passer. If he makes the team I see him getting on field as return man, RB, WR utility guy not QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJ was top 30 rated passer his redshirt freshman year under Leavitt because he didn't expect him to pass 33 times per game. he used his strong arm to strecth defenses and open them up for run. skip liked to call low percentage high risk plays. short tough throws that didn't net a lot of yardage even if completed.

Therefore he won't see the field unless Kap gets injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
