I don’t know how anyone else really felt about Shane Burnham but I really liked the guy. Wish we would retain him for DL. Don’t even know if he he’s still available or followed the turd to TN? He seemed like a good recruiter too, most of our top rated recruits seemed to be on the Dline.

Cincy QB Desmond Ridder is actually coming back for another year unfortunately. He’s an average qb, nothing special but his athleticism and running ability is really good and he just kills us b/c our LBs were too slow to contain. I’m most interested how the defense shakes out this year.I know that CINN had a really good QB just graduate but their program went past us with a HC and legit balanced approach to putting together a P5ish program.
Although we will be ejecting the "run and gun" type offense, a more balanced program will quickly come out of what we already have with this staff. Love the recruiting resumes of some of these coaching hires and they will go into all the hot recruiting spots in Fl. with all they have
I expect for us to see some very positive results in 2 years that will make take this program up a notch. Next season could be a big surprise for us because we will catch some of the programs that were getting used to our style of play by surprise. Not to mention we will have a better defense
I’ll answer your rhetorical question, CFD, “No.” Lebby would not be pulling in a staff like this from top to bottom. 😎 We’re reaping the benefit of Malzahn’s decades of mentoring athletes and coaches at the HS and college level.
This is a good point. Everyone wanted Lebby but I am not sure he could have put together a staff like this in February. You can argue he is a better playcaller but his staff probably would have had more Texas guys.

I totally agree. Even in the 2018 undefeated regular season, with the team skill we had, they underperformed. Several games were close and I still believe we gave away the LSU game even with Mack in at QB. Several missed opportunities in that game. The 10-3 season blowing leads to Pitt, Cincy and Tulsa was a big let down. That should have been an undefeated season, just terrible play calling and lack of adjustments. Ever heard of a 3-3-5 Huepe? Then last year was just the sloppiest play I’ve ever seen in “All 3 Phases” as the slob used to say. Our special teams play was probably the worst slide of any phase, and that’s including our 2020 defense. What happened? That used to always be our strength, now can’t kickoff in bounds, can’t kick FG outside 35 yards (even extra points I hold my breath), can’t catch a punt, etc. Don’t even get me started on the pre-snap penalties or dumb player mental errors penalties. Anybody who didn’t see the old coaching staff was a
show was really drinking the Kool-Aide, save a few (Lebby - who got out and Wyatt - who just left lol). I liked Burnham, but oh well.
it was weird scoring 50 and still somehow feeling helplessI totally agree. Even in the 2018 undefeated regular season, with the team skill we had, they underperformed.

I’m just so happy Huepe and Co. are gone. They couldn’t even recruit, what good were they...
I think special teams being weak is/was a sign that our depth wasn’t great, tbh.I totally agree. Even in the 2018 undefeated regular season, with the team skill we had, they underperformed.
