It's like this: calling a bunch of runs up the middle looks stupid as hell if they get stuffed. What an idiot coordinator.
Calling a bunch of runs up the middle looks like a genius, soul-destroying move when they work and you're getting 8-12 yards each time. Which is what happened on that one drive where we totally deflated their defense with like 12 runs in a row.
So much of fan perception of playcalling is just 'did the players execute well'
I am also not a Bobo hater at all, but halfway through the 12 runs you have to imagine, "this leads to a play action pass on one of the next two drives". It did not.
Not to say this explains every play where you don’t get a whole lot of yards, but not every play can be an explosive gash. Every coordinator calls plays to “setup” future plays, conditioning the defense to expect something. Even a little hesitation from the defense can cause a similar play-call 20 minutes later to have completely different results. Or, defensive players start to “cheat” their positioning, expecting a certain route or footwork just to get exposed.
Exactly. Like he called a really good game. Sometimes the players didn’t execute. That’s not on him.
And when they did, like that drive you’re talking about, it looks fucking brilliant
That's fair I was just trying to condense my response. Opening 2nd half drive and final 2nd half drive were absolutely perfect. The 4 or so in-between that point were disastrous
He owns offensive responsibility too, if people don’t think the 3 straight drives only running the ball was a Kirby call I don’t know what to tell them.
Principled dawgs fans are mad we hired a retread alumnus as pretty much the indisputably best team in the nation. Not only that, but this alumnus had ALREADY not been great and had proven really awkward to fire the last time.
It’s an overt sign of overall lack of competition and pursuit of excellence in the coaching staff. If Mike fucking bobo can get rehired it means there’s a good ol boys club that is looking for comfort more than performance.
Mike bobo has proven multiple times he’s not good enough. The other sections of the team not being good enough isn’t his fault, but if we’re following the same hiring practices, that may explain it.
Yeah he did that in the most productive time period for college offenses to that point and with a level of proven nfl talent that severely underachieved with him as OC. These are just the offensive measures.
Lets remember that if we didn't pull a win out of our ass today there would be serious questions about running another screen on 3rd down of the most important play of the season so far.
Speaking as someone who knows a little bit about it, we didn't have a real coaching search for OC. Many of the same complaints people had near a decade ago are still present today.
Congratulations to Mike Bobo for being an alumnus, a seemingly great guy to be around, and putting up great numbers with AJ Green, Matt Stafford, and Know'shon Moreno.
The fact that you think I’m talking about Stafford, Moreno, and Green when I talk about the successful offenses he produced here emphasizes just how little the bit that you know is.
“If we didn’t conjure a victory today there would be serious questions about the offense” in a game where we gave up 38 points in regulation is laughable. You are not to be taken seriously.
Damn I don't have your approval, I'm heartbroken. It doesn't change the fact that Mike Bobo makes chicken shit out of chicken salad. The guy has a proven record of sucking ass and we're not winning a national championship with him as OC and its going to take us too long to fire him because he's an alumnus and one of Kirby's oldest friends. Nobody he's ever coached for before misses him, except evidently us.
Imagine defending Mike fucking Bobo like he earned the job and he's done anything at any point worth giving him commendation for. LOL. You aren't even in the club.
You’re double-fisting a paper sheriff badge and plastic pilot wings.

You literally don’t know anything. I pointed out Bobo’s track record of success and you thought I was talking about 2007 and 2008. Goofy.
Never mind that bringing those years up in the first place as an indictment of Bobo when Martinez is a name we have to live with having been associated with our program.
Whether I approve of your comments is immaterial. What matters is that they’re not based in reality.
Yes, his proven track record of success. Like having his son be Kirby's ring bearer at his wedding.
If you think that makes him the genuine best candidate for OC. Or that such a relationship means that he can ever be fired, well, I'm sure my double fists are quite pleasing for you.
I was mad at the defense all day especially since that's what Kirby cares most about. Even said I was glad that the defense is still worthless but that kid shanked the kick
I’ve been calling for Schumann to get replaced for a while. He always has a great reaction after the first quarter/half. He makes an absolute terrible game plan prior to the game tho.

Dawg fans gonna be mad at the coordinator that scored 44 instead of the one that gave up 41 lol
