gonna be hard to replace the shotgun on the 2 yardline

And passing for 5 on 3rd and 8's.

It's funny that stuff like that is all that ppl remember


Nov 27, 2014, 11:08 PM

Meanwhile, everybody thinks Venables is great because his defense is good this year. People forget how bad we were in 2012 and how mediocre we were in 2013 at the beginning of the year.

We were as bad on offense the year before Morris got here as we were on defense the year before Venables got here. People have short memories.

and "ppl" also see our defense is better than it was 3 years


Nov 27, 2014, 11:17 PM

Ago. Our offense is not.

We've had a bad o line for 20 years...that's certainly not chads fault, but what did he do to fix it?

Stop using facts and logic, cam is immune to it.

Lulz at you thinking any of that is changing

and you not complaining about Boyd when he was pretty much unstoppable running from the shotgun on short yardage.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Yep


Nov 27, 2014, 11:53 PM

It's amazing people forget how bad we'd gotten on offense in 2010 and how much better we were immediately in 2011. Venables actually took longer to make his turnaround.

Also, it'll be interesting to see what people are saying next year when we'll be stacked on offense again and young on defense again. My guess is they'll all love Morris again and start to wonder about Venables.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Agree. Though I think Venables is legit


Nov 28, 2014, 12:14 AM

and will be much harder to replace than Morris. In this day of offense, having a defensive coordinator that seems to understand and enjoy facing them is rare.

But, to your guess, I very much agree. We'll take a step backwards on defense and a huge step forward on offense and people will wonder what happened to Venables. I do still think we'll be good enough on defense to beat FSU and SCU and make a run for the playoffs.

If these rumors are true about Morris, I'd understand why he would leave, but I think in a year or two he could get a better job for similar money. But like I said, I wouldn't be as upset at replacing him as I would Venables.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

But thats the thing...people change.


Nov 28, 2014, 5:24 PM [ in reply to Lulz at you thinking any of that is changing ]

We don't currently have teh staff to support that now.

A decent O-line coordinator should see that, and work around it.

We're still playing the same offense we had with a 230# QB. We don't have that now.

I guess as a manager I see that I have to work to my staffs' strengths; I can;t work on what we used to have.

Maybe we need some nerdy IT managers in there?

Promote Jeff Scott? Great recruiter, hard worker,


Nov 28, 2014, 12:26 AM

requisite experience, runs the same offense, loves the state and school. Success at every step. Seems a no brainer.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Perfect but if it goes sour...


Nov 28, 2014, 6:41 AM

we might lose one of our own. I'd just pay the next guy less and give Jeff a big fat raise out of it.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpgringofhonor-clemsontiger1988-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

^^Ditto on this


Nov 28, 2014, 7:11 AM

I am not saying Lincoln Reilly is the answer, BUT could you imagine the recruiting we could do if Jeff and Rick were traveling together? That would be like the powerhouse team of recruiting.

I am not sure that Lincoln is ready for this level of ball, but soon, he will be heading to bigger and better things. Carden is not that great of a QB, terrible mechanics, but Hardy can catch anything thrown his way. With this being said, in my years of following ECU football, Lincoln makes great calls at the right time in big games. And the athletes coming in love his style of football.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Jeff might leave if we hire Reilly


Nov 28, 2014, 8:50 AM [ in reply to Perfect but if it goes sour... ]

But that might be the risk you have to take

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

terrible idea


Nov 28, 2014, 10:00 AM [ in reply to Promote Jeff Scott? Great recruiter, hard worker, ]

See Dabo's first hire as OC as proof.

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's a non sequiter if there ever was one. By that logic,


Nov 30, 2014, 12:13 AM

every decision he makes will be wromg, and/or Dabo would never be head coach in the first place. Unless Dabo has some specific reason to think Scott needs additional expereince, he will get the job. Barring that, Scott has hit all the objective benchmarks. Every OC is promoted from position coach.

I am not saying that is the case here. How can I, or you, know? Dabo might think he he needs more experience. But if Dabo thinks he's ready, count on it. He wont mind making a battle field promotion.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Can we find an O coordinator that thinks

the bubble screen shouldn't be called more than once or twice a season?

...I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.


I'd like to find one that so firmly believes that it all

starts in the trenches that he would lie, cheat, steal, and murder to create the greatest offensive lines in the history of college football.
