I doubt Cpj would resort to this because he and coach Ken are such good friends, But where else would he look if he plans to make changes to his staff ?

Bryan Cook who is on staff would be great to move up and take the roll of OC if CPJ would let him, he very qualified and would open things up

I believe I've heard PJ say that the day he gives up coaching the offense is the day he retires. That's what he really loves doing, the rest of the coaching job is probably just stuff he "has to" do to be allowed to run his offense. Also, I think he knows he would try to be too involved the minute things started going poorly and immediately undercut his OC, and he does not want to do that.

To be fair, it has been almost a whole year since our coach coordinated one of the most prolific offenses in the modern history of college football. He has probably forgotten how to do that. It is certainly long past time to move on. One bad season is way too many to forgive. And, as we all know, injuries and academic casualties are not legitimate excuses. Every team has to deal with exactly the same level of injuries we have had this year, and excuses are for whiners and cry babies. If we can't get a coach that can win 12 games a year ever year, we need to keep looking.

Well, given that any coach on the offensive side of the line would (1) need experience coaching within an option-based spread at least generally akin to CPJ's scheme, (2) CPJ might not want to "raid" assistants currently on staff of guys from the CPJ coaching tree, and (3) Tech probably still has budget considerations constraining such moves, one place to look might be -- I kid you not -- The Citadel.

The Citadel ? Here's why. Two years ago, The Citadel plucked a fella named Mike Houston as the new HC, Houston coming off three solid seasons at Div. 2 Lenoir-Rhyne, piling up rushing yardage and points, falling in the 2013 title game. Houston uses a Tech/Navy-type offense, he has guys on staff he brought along from Lenoir-Rhyne to The Citadel, The Citadel showed improvement in 2014 (despite a young o-line) in Houston's first season, and this season The Citadel is currently 7-2 (losses to Georgia Southern and FCS power Charleston Southern), rolling up yardage, and ranked in the FCS at #21. The Citadel has precious little which is above average in its football history, so -- Houston and his staff seem to be doing something right. I note that Citadel o-line coach Ron Boyd was with Houston at Lenoir-Rhyne and now is with him in Charleston. Ditto for OC/QB/B-backs coach Brent Thompson.

Just a notion offered in reply to a question, not offered as some sort of panacea.

Watch the tapes from last year! Our backs looked like men against boys (this year).
Plus the blocking and passing game is atrocious. But, it is not as bad as it seems, IF everyone gets healthy for next year.

It is not to much to ask. Just one win per week according to one of my favorite coaches.
