I think so. Winning helps everything.Is the Barney relationship salvageable ?

Do we need anyone or anything groundbreaking? Or just better talent to work in the system we’re trying to implement.Not duped but per usual people ignore the red flags. He was a solid hire when considering how it plays into Mario breaking his own mold and narrative. That said he isn’t some ground breaking offensive guru. He is solid and a good safe hire when breaking into the new age of offensive football

when Dawson was hired, I dont think he was overhyped lol. even cribby wasn't even excited. he was a plan b/c target as OC. it is what it is. hopefully his scheme fits our roster and the players we recruit better (anyone who didnt play with Fred flinstones)
You don’t see a bigger problem??? Really???50 pages on a kid we “lost” that we’ve been recruiting for 3 months when he’s from Texas and has been going to Norman for 2 years? Never change, y’all.
I agree as well if we run that system. I do recall quite a few posters stating. Stoops wanted a power game. Now it wasn’t very successful so U are correct. That style of play if far from his lineage.You say you’re not trying to make excuses but are making excuses. Not trying to be combative but that is exactly what it was. Bottom line: when he went on his own he struggled. When he worked under Dana and his system he did well. He did so bad on his own that he had to crawl back to Dana and worked his way back to being an OC. Like I said, if he just follows Dana’s scheme we should be okay but let’s not pretend there isn’t serious concerns over what he did out on his. You couple that with Mario being the HC and his track record and you can’t blame people for being concerned. I still think we win 8-9.
If we win we can get much better players than barneyI think so. Winning helps everything.
Listen I totally agree as far as style of play. I’m just stating I expect to see a stark difference. From last years offense and this years offense. No way Mario would replace one Broffense coach with another would he?Saying he needs 'talent" to run an Air Raid simply does not compute. Most, if not all Air Raid offenses are doing way more with less. You don't find Air Raid offenses littered with high profile recruits.
He had 3 years at S. Miss. His offenses were not good. He had his time to recruit his own players. And again, he did not run an Air Raid offense at UK or S. MISS. Truth is, Houston did not run a true Air Raid. They utilized concepts of an Air Raid. So we definitely won't see anything resembling a true Air Raid regardless.
With that being said, I hope his 2nd time around with Dana he learned and has decided to run that style of O rather than what he ran at UK and S MISS the first time he left Dana. Because they were not good or what you are hoping to see. Let's hope for the best.
Plenty of people can but they/I’m reacting to people trying to act like some of these misses are no big deal because we have bigger needs at other positions. The cumulative misses are a big deal to me and reflective of a pattern this cycle especially now that we are well into July.People can’t just take an L.
Staff recruited a player, close race, lost the battle: L.
Did you happen to watch his offenses the four years combined he spent at both UK and S. Miss? That is when he was actually OC on his own.
It sounds like he was learning under AIR RAID COACHES, but deviated from his roots when he got on his own. Is that true?Don't worry, Mario's got this. Dawson and him will work tirelessly until they have a playbook.
- Runs away as fast as I can.
On a serious note, we'll see how it goes. I would daresay it can't be worse than last year.
I agree but for me personally, I have shifted to “Prove it to me first, Miami” Mode.Personally, I don't think 8 wins will do it.
Miami is practically being handed 6 wins in Miami(OH), Bethune, Temple, GT, UVA and Boston College. The last 4 teams in that list had a combined 14 wins last season.
Then you have Louisville (trying to replace Cunningham) and NC State (trying to replace Leary) along with UNC, Clemson, FSU and A&M. If you can't split those 6, which includes beating lower tiered recruiting teams replacing long-term starting QBs and beating a few teams you recruit head-to-head with, to win at least 9 overall, the negative recruiting will only get louder......especially when you are likely going to lose TVD and only have JB, Emory and Judd returning at QB.
You underestimate the power of the human ego.Listen I totally agree as far as style of play. I’m just stating I expect to see a stark difference. From last years offense and this years offense. No way Mario would replace one Broffense coach with another would he?

You don’t see a bigger problem??? Really???
Mark Andrews is better then every TE we have in the league combined. JS.True head scratcher. Who has Oklahoma sent to the league from the tight end position. Were like a dam factory for putting tight ends in the league.
