[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 851740, member: 282"] So, in summary [LIST] [*]We’ve hired an OC [*]Long likes to pass more than the average OC, but he’s not in Air Raid territory [*]He’s used a “standard” blocking philosophy, not the wide splits we moved away from three years ago [*]We can guess that Key keeps coaching OL in pretty much the same way [*]How this affects our offensive coaching assignments is unknown [*]He’s coached some good offenses. This past year may have been his worst. [*]It’s unclear whether he’s been a marked upgrade over the OCs he’s replaced. He’s done better, and coached in some of the biggest stages possible, but he’s also had some underwhelming stops. [*]If you’re looking for the consistency we’ve been missing (regularly staying ahead of the chains), he doesn’t have a track record as a miracle worker in that area. [*]He’s really good with TEs, but he’ll be coaching QBs. He’s had success with QBs [*]Whether our OL gels this year is unknown. It’s our biggest need, but it’s not something most OC hires will cover [*]The stats seem to tell a cloudy story. There aren’t many OCs who are going to be clearly separated from the pack, though. [/LIST] So, we’ll see. This probably isn’t going to be an instant fix, even if we got Lane Kiffin to give up his head coaching job and be our OC. For me, I won’t have a read on this until he starts coaching. The last couple of spring practices haven’t given me any indication on the team’s progress, but it’s still where I’d look to see an indication of offensive progress with the new OC—I guess I don’t learn.
