We don’t need a different philosophy. We need a guy who can “feel” it as the game goes along.

Prepare to get dumb and disagree responses. You will like the new coach regardless. Step in line or be criticized.
Alot of Gordon hate on here, which I guess I can understand. But I'm not sure that the actual QB play has been the issue so much as the O-Line consistently being an issue. Purdy spent the better part of 3 years running for his life and he's passed that torch on to Hunter. Obviously Purdy improved greatly in his skill set because Kyle Shannahan saw enough to continue elevating him up the depth chart, and Kyle Shannahan knows a thing or two about quality QB play.
It's just so hard to assess anything offensively when you have a line that can't block.

I’ll share some more thoughts from current players (not naming them of course) when I get a chance. But, there are mixed emotions though. All happy for him as a person and someone they respect, but a lot of concerns and reservations about how many changes will be seen day to day based on what they’ve seen and experienced.
How old was Campbell when he was hired as HC at Toledo?
How old was McVey when he was hired as HC for the LA Rams?
Do you seriously think being a 32 year old OC is an issue? There are many examples of successful young coaches in the OC or HC positions. Hell, look at the Big12 championship game- Colin Klein and Garrett Riley are both 33
This feels alot like Notre Dame giving Marcus Freeman their HC job. Young, talented and a solid recruiter, but definitely inexperienced when compared to other options. But I think you see these schools concerned about letting someone young and full of potential decide to cut their teeth elsewhere and leave. Heck, happened to us with Golesh.
So in many ways I get it. I imagine there will be a learning curve but identifying and retaining young talent is important.

Yeah, pretty much. Hopefully he's been designing his own plays and testing out scenarios on Madden '22 like Klein.
Indiana hired one guy who should have been at the top of the list. Bob Bostad was not retained by Fickell in Madison. If he can bolt from being tied to Tom Allen's hot seat that would be the smart move. I don't think it's that uncommon for an assistant coach hire to bolt for another job within a month of accepting a position.

It's pretty incredible to me how many doubters and negative Nancy's are on this thread. We all wanted change right? Someone a bit more creative than Manning? Can we all agree that staff retention is also important?
We get someone who is new at calling plays, but who is also familiar with the program. Someone who won't break the bank, but also is seen as an up-and-comer that other places would have opened their wallets. From what I've heard, he's well liked by pretty much everyone and is a natural leader.
To me this is the by far the best option available.

This is not making me feel any less underwhelmed. If the guys in the program aren't feeling it thats concerning.
How many who are critical of this hire have also voiced complaints that we ever let Golesh get away? This is the same situation. Do you want to let the young stud get away and possibly lose out on the benefit of him maximizing his potential elsewhere, then be left wondering what could have been?
Yeah, wasn't he Big 12 POY a couple times? Then he learned from Snyder.
Scheelhasse doesn't have quite the same pedigree. He was just an average QB at a Big 10 afterthought school.
I'll give him a chance but I still think he needs more experience first.
What players aren't feeling "it." Were there 3 players, 30 players, were they starters, were they subs, freshman, seniors, etc.?
Very weak post by whomever said this.
This was going through my mind as well. Have to make him a coordinator to keep him!
