Chev becoming full time OC scares me. I hope he hires a hell of a QB coach.

I trust him a lot more than BL.....I think we'll see a lot more air raid type stuff if he's the sole OC.
That does not make me feel better.
That is what I'm hoping for too but we still should have those double TE formations for the running game. Buffs are well stocked at WR for the foreseeable future.
Yea... Lindgren's problems weren't really scheme (he didn't really have any loyalty to any discipline... which may have been a problem), but how he called games. Smart guy, but he had real weird patterns.
This thread might be fun to follow:
"Mac must be going crazy after losing Leavitt last year And now his playcaller."
"also, guys, we poached a Pac-12 program coordinator. Little ol' OSU stole a guy in a lateral move. We should give each other a hardy high-five."
"Lindgren was the first QB Smith coached as a professional. so that is kind of cool."

There is a lot of concern on AB about Chiv potentially being promoted to OC but I'm not sure I understand why. Is it because he came from TT and the fear is he'll install the Air Raid Offense? Is it because he's not a known commodity at that position? What makes many on here think he wouldn't be successful?
Clearly had an issue instilling toughness in his offense and had accountability issues with his players as well.
He's never called plays. His unit regressed last year. he's never designed game plans as a head guy. Total unknown as sole OC. Scheme may be too pass happy for some of us. So far he's proven to be a motivator, but that wears thin if there isn't substance behind it. The unconditional love of Chev as full OC is what's weird to me. Not saying he will fail, but it's a real gamble.
Air Raid is good in college football for winning games and covering up deficiencies, but will never win you the games that matter.
Chiv has never been an OC or had play calling responsibilities. Given our HC has a defensive background, making Chiv THE guy on offense is a little scary.
He has no experience calling plays and has only been a WR coach for the last three years. Oh and the air raid offense he learned at Tech sucks donkey balls.
I'd like to see Chev switch to an Associate Head Coach title, similar to the one Salavea'a has at Oregon. Let him learn under someone who knows what they're doing for a few years, without getting any sort of unfair blame for how the offense performs (beyond his position group).
THIS is what I like. He basically does this already.
Im in wait and see mode right now. Pretty sure this is just one move. Agree on the other concerns, definitely need a qb coach.

The more I think about it........the more I think we have the same set up we did last year. Chev is too valuable a recruiter.
Perhaps he loses the Co-oc title and becomes Asst HC. That would be fine with me.

Jonathan Smith said last week in his intro that he's not planning on calling plays at OSU, which would make this somewhat of a lateral move. Probably a little bit of both.
Vic Lombardi said on the radio there is more to come
Ok - so mostly the fear of the unknown. I suppose that's reasonable. So does that mean it's preferable that he leaves CU to get some OC experience before we'd want him back in that capacity? I'm not sure I'm there. Perhaps he just needs more years of experience before he would be a viable candidate as sole OC.
I can't imagine he'd feel great with a demotion which may force him to want to move on. Hope not.

Doubt that highly-Jake says there's more than just this, but this is a very, very good place to start.
I agree just didnt word it very well. Anyway, just the beginning of a few moves.
