I think a lot of you will look back and and say, boy was I wrong, what a dumb post I made just like the original TJ, Campbell, and Hoiberg threads. I think it's a solid hire with great potential. Glad a change was made. Now hopefully MC also rethinks his special teams philosophy. Schemes are bad there.

Lots of people loved Chizik and McDermott too. Let's face it, hiring is always a crapshoot. Even those with in depth knowledge doing the interviewing can get it wrong. Us here with zero insight are just guessing.

Hopefully Scheelhaase is the next Lincoln Riley and CMC has it figured out.

Looking forward to his entry in the Paul Roads Memorial Mispelling Hall of Fame in the next couple years.

Because they didn't qb sneak it. They did a three step drop handoff to the running back. This with a Heisman candidate qb who had kept them in it with his legs.
They way they ran that play they may as well have been in shotgun. It developed so slowly too.

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.
Meaning more changes than players want, or less?

He didn't say call the plays, he means audible when the defense presents something, you know like in ancient times. If you have a capable qb, a far better system.
Why not simply trust your QB to call the play, or audible at the line into something they think would work better?
"call the play, or audible"

But on that topic, do many college programs give their QB the freedom to audible at will?

No, it's why I did say today it would be innovative and different. The thing is the time it takes the offensive staff to make a decision and relay it in, the defensive staff has time to do the same. No college defense would be used to adjusting to audibles.

There aren't many college teams that give the QB audible freedom. If they do it is usually to something like run up the middle or bubble screen type pass.

Besides that the days of “audibles” are mostly over. Replaced by the RPO. On any given play I’m guessing our QB has 2-3 options depending on what he reads at the snap. Which is WAY more effective than making a pre-snap audible since most defenses are disguising their coverages pre-snap.

It was good enough for Sid Luckman, it's good enough for Iowa State, damnit....
I haven't read all the posts but to me Campbell didn't think he could afford to lose Scheelhasse because of his ability to recruit high end talent so he just about had to give Coach S. a chance as the offensive coordinator.
