Prioritize your staff changes for 2022

[Not Sure]

Chancellor.

as that’s highly unlikely, and therefore any changes in the AD are equally unlikely, I’ll go with OC as the top priority. This years offense was epically horrible. No OC should survive that kind of performance. I’d put Langsdorf at 1A. I actually saw real improvement in the OL once coach blocking sled was shown the door. I’m cautiously optimistic that OL won’t be a **** show next year provided we have a cohesive offensive strategy.

It's hard to absorb that $600k.

1A- Karl takes it out of his ridiculous salary (Frost like)

1B- Karl coaches WRs with help from a GA such as Nelson Spruce who is looking to get into coaching.

hire an OC who coaches QBs also. Pay up for a OL coach who can attract a few recruits and transfers.

1st. Someone has to be fired to make room.

2nd. Do something.

 

[Bliff Cranch]

The entire offensive staff must be fired. This weekend. A replacement staff must be assembled before 31-Dec.

Agreed. I thought Valachos did a nice job but this isn’t the time to take a shot on an unproven guy especially in recruiting. We don’t have talent stacked up right now on the OL for that risk. We need proven guys coaching or recruiting at every O coach spot.

I started the accountability thread (I think it was after the Minnesota game). The offensive coordinator has to go. Has to. I do not understand any argument to the contrary. Let the new guy hire his staff.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

It should be a requirement that the offensive side all goes for KD to keep his job. I would prefer to have KD gone with RG LC and that midget of a chancellor. That would be a dream scenario but the minimum nightmare has to be the whole offensive side going. Full stop

The argument to the contrary: CU AD is dysfunctional.

I think that's putting it kindly.

Valachos didn't change much on performance. Sacks and rushing yards weren't really better the final 6 games vs the first 6.

It’s a skill and overall offensive scheme problem. The skill level on the OL is as bad as I’ve ever seen. And the offensive schemes with long, weird WR route trees, slow developing stuff doesn’t help OL who possess awful skills.

KD withe the "Assistant Coach Energy"

Interesting AMA

I know it makes me the angry old guy, but really don’t like players airing out stuff online this way.

KD withe the "Assistant Coach Energy"

Interesting AMA

This AMA gives such a meh endorsement of KD. “Feels like an interim coach…” “He’s always performing for us.”

 

[patebuff]

I can’t see any scenario where you don’t clean house on the offensive side of the ball if you truly are committed to excellence. However, the AD has made it very clear that he runs a good ol boys club within his athletic department, so doing absolutely nothing will be on the table.

 

[Goose]

That AMA is brutal to read if true. Wow.

Certainly take with a grain of salt. That is only one of 100 players

I’m a Lytle sure it is one

It’s not ideal but things like this tend to happen when you have poor leadership within your organization.

Sounds like bringing back Chev could cost KD the locker room.

 

[ElCunado]

Ha. Kinda what I was thinking also. But some of the answers truly echoed message board material so I was a little suspicious.

Oh, I got that. Some of the players previous answers made me think that’s who it was.

Pur-Sure. I’ll see myself out.

1. Offensive Coordinator
2. OL Coach
----------------
3. QB and/or WR Coach - driven by what position the new OC coaches

I'd like to go beyond this, but those are my changes that are absolutely essential if we're going to have reason to have any hope next year.

Agreed. RG isn’t going anywhere and I personally don’t think he should. Outside of KD’s contract, he’s been solid IMHO. KD isn’t going anywhere because of said contract and with all the changes happening in other HC jobs around the country, should be able to sell stability on some level. But these things must happen…

1) OC - Has to be someone with full authority over the offense. Not implementing KD’s offense.
2) OL - Has to be someone with a track record of development and recruiting.
3) QB - Has to be someone perfectly aligned with the new OC who has a track record to recruit and develop the most important position.
4) Keep Hagan. Let the rest go. Fill the spots with young, hungry recruiters eager to make their mark.
5) Recruiting coordinator - this whole area needs an influx of cash and fresh vision.

I like the D under Wilson.
I love the new S&C coach.
Make KD the CEO and have him specialize in closing when it comes to recruiting.

OC and OL. It feels like we haven’t had a good OL in 20 years. QB always running for his life.

Best recent OL I remember was the year under Hawk when we played all those freshmen. That was Grimes' last season here, which shows what an impact a great OL Coach can make.

 

[Not Sure]

Has Wilson figured out how to get a third down stop yet?
