Gattis is Calling Plays from the Box - Is this Heaven or ****?

[NC_Canes_11]

With an experienced QB I don’t see a problem with it.

This right here. It makes sense when you have a QB you trust.

I’m guessing that ponce being on the sidelines is a good eyes and ears setup for him. I’m down with it.

 

[TemplarCane]

One thing is true. Mario approved Gattis calling plays from the booth.

Isn’t this enough?

 

[kryptonite]

Al for it, until he goes 3 and out the first time.

Then I’m like WTF.

Spoken like a true CiS Cane.

 

[kryptonite]

Y'all are overthinking this.....he just came from Ann Arbor, he needs the AC, he can't be in that south Florida heat after that climate!

I heard Mario will be in the box too for the same reason. Hopefully but 2025 those guys will be acclimated.

This usually the sort of news that launches a thousand rounds of fury and debate, yet today it’s been crickets.

Why are y’all so chill? Did you already know he was doing it?

If I'm not mistaken, he was in the box for the spring game.

 

[DontCareJustWin]

He did last year and won the Broyles..

 

[Hurricane23]

He could call the plays from CIS board for all I care, long as them ****’s work

LSU had the most dominant offense ever with their OCs in the box, so the ceiling is up there. Enos was on the sideline with unlaminated play cards in the rain. This is my hot take rationalization.

Booth at home, field when away, I don't trust away teams tapping into the phone lines.

I can’t stop laughing at “tapping into the phone lines.”

This is quintessential Fraggle.

Only two reactions to his post. This is absurd for such an amazing post.

He wants a better vantage seeing all 5 TEs and 3 running backs crisscrossing each other out on the field.

I think we have a winner! Johnny, give that man a prize!

 

[FrancisSawyer]

As far s I know, calling plays from the box is the Gattis MO. The guy is coming off of a Broyles award and he is a very competent, well respected coach who has had a lot of success at the highest levels of college football. Gattis can do whatever he wants and I'm fine with it and everyone here should be too. He has earned that level of respect. Factor in the fact that he has a veteran QB who is expected to be a 1st round pick next year who has complete command of the offense plus Ponce the QB coach who was an OC last year and I would say that the offense is in pretty good hands.

All jokes aside? Is this a real topic or joking around? Surely no one can possibly give a **** about this right? lmao

 

[Unsider]

Context matters…

 

[Caned Peach]

I think he should call it from the sideline first half and the box second half. Mix it up

Against Bethune? He could script it from Fri night and we'd still win by 50.

 

[Caned Peach]

Some coaches are just more in their element from the sideline and value that face to face interaction with the players more.

Steele is going to be on the sidelines. Obviously other successful DCs have done it that way too. Diaz being an obvious one. It’s just one of those personal preference things.

Orly?

 

[dirtyred786]

That's how the pros do it.

He wants a good seat.
So?..
