allen, just what are you owed by these coaches? So sorry you are disappointed by a Div Champion team trending upward. Seems you are also poo pooing recruiting and coaching after Ohio's players have received the most post season recognition ever. You seem to think the staff needs you to tell them to conduct AARs. We have heard on this board, from parents, how their sons have been challenged by the coaches. Amazing that you believe the staff needs you to tell them to grade performance to standards. Pretty full of yourself allen.

What's your problem?

Why do you absolutely refuse to consider legitimate criticism.

All your point of view does is enable mediocrity that will never get us a MACC, the main goal and point of fielding a team in the MAC.


pm me if you need that explained to you. I'm sure over the next 12 or so years we can get you to comprehend it.

How about a new offense in place for 2017? The old formula isn't working for us anymore.

allen. Did you not just show us an article in which our hot new QB recruit told us our offense was one of the reasons he liked Ohio? "Rourke feels the type of offence Ohio runs could also help prep him for the pros. It’s going to challenge me and it can be transferable to the NFL because it has checks and puts a lot on the quarterback," he says. "I want to challenge myself mentally so I can prepare myself mentally for the next level.”

Wes. "The old formula isn't working for us anymore." Granted the MAC only stats for the offense have Ohio in the bottom half of most. It would either be the Xs and Os or the Moes and the Joes. It was a shame Sprague could not play. I believe Sprague/Windham would have been dramatically different than Windham/Maxwell. Maxwell did OK, but, there were times he looked like a freshman, which, he still is. I would not want to ask Maxwell to learn a new offense by next fall, which, would put him back again to being a freshman in that offense. Next, as I mentioned above, allen found a good article in which, Rourke, Ohio's new QB recruit cites the offense Ohio is currently running as a reason he picked Ohio. I would not want to change now if a young QB recruit with stated ambitions to be a pro is picking Ohio and liking the offense.

Maxwell/Rourke share all the snaps through the spring. Cope, White, Ball, Odom, Harris, Meyer, perhaps Cherry get on the same page with them, Brown, Irons and Ouellette all healthy, all of the TEs back, find a left guard and a right tackle and I think the offense gets better because of the Moes and the Joes.

We had one of the worst passing and scoring offenses in the MAC last year. I am happy that a new recruit is all in, but it does not change the facts on the ground. There is only one way to be and that is real.

To change the offense all that is needed is new blocking assignments. The QB is still going to know how to throw routes and read defenses like he did the year before. I watched the WMU Oline this year create huge gaps to let the RB's run downhill. The run blocking isn't where it needs to be to get Brown and Irons running a straight line. I watched Alabama in the SEC Championship game and what Saban is very good at is getting a read as to the momentum on the field. He would tell Kiffin "power game" or "deep ball" to switch the focus when he sensed he could exploit the opposing teams confusion. It sounds simplistic but it work. Frank will have a quarter where its several consecutive series of running the ball up the middle to go 3 and out. We need to be more responsive to the game momentum when play calling.

Explain; I don't get your point.

This may be the BillyTheCat sarcastic post of the year. Solich put the Michigan State cover 4 defense in 2 years ago when they were playing at their peak. I know we won't see Solich game managing like Saban anytime soon but I would love a coach who was good at it.
