Enos was hired for 3 reasons:

1) Nick Saban hired him

2) Jalen Hurt's development under Enos

3) Tua's development under Enos

I can't say much about his abilities as OC just yet--- but the above were the likely main 3 reasons for his job at Miami....

And we can all agree he is likely much better than Jon Richt at QB development right?

As for OC chops?

Time will tell....

Tried to be positive regarding this hire and because we gave him one million dollars but god****, never will I try to justify poor numbers for a corch again. This offense has been a nightmare on par with Richt’s last season.
Seeing the 3 TE formations and any formation with a fullback has been hella cringe.
 
-It’s simple we need to score more when we get to the redzone. We are getting down there often but not scoring enough tds.

-cut out plays/formations that don’t work (I form With fullback etc in the redzone

if he fixes those 2 things alone and the oline decide they want to play with some heart then we will be fine.

- this hire hasn’t been all bad though don’t let anyone fool you. Enos has dramatically improved qb play and the passing game in general from what it was prior, that’s even with Jarren having typical young qb issues with not seeing guys open for deeper pass plays. Up until the cmu game we ran the ball well too while playing 2 quality defenses in the first 2 games. Miami’s offense wasn’t much more successful in the passing game and the run game than Clemson’s was vs unc. So is the offense running at an elite level? Obviously not but it has improved on SOME areas and obviously needs to continue to work on others

I don’t see that resume as some horrific indictment of him. He has called top 10 offenses twice, called another top 20 offense, and our current offense in its first season is the third worst he has ever had. He has extensive experience and has coached up quarterbacks very well. He makes quarterbacks completion percentages go up, he involves tight ends heavily. He tries to incorporate different philosophies, groupings, and tries to use a lot of motion and shifts (when our guys aren’t taking penalties).

My biggest issue with him today is he isn’t calling plays that Williams (who hasn’t played under center since he was a child) is comfortable in.

At the start of this season many just wanted an offense that wouldn’t work against the “championship caliber” defense. Today his offense isn’t up to snuff at all don’t get me wrong. But he didn’t recruit any of the below or force any guys to leave:

Boulware
Mahoney
Reed
Brown
Kennedy
Dykstra

Our roster at one of the most important positional groups is missing at least 4 experienced Seniors contributing today plus has whiffed on at least 2 sophomores (likely more). Compared to a normal program Miami’s offensive line is short 4-8 players who should have 2-4 years of development in this program.

It is what it is. This issue won’t be solved next year either, regardless of whatever offensive coach is calling plays.

If it takes you 3 years to put together a top flight offense with all the 4 and 5 star talent we have while playing against a ****** schedule, then you generally suck **** as an OC.

I sure did. My bad.

Those are some bad numbers. And yet he was still being looked at by Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan to be offensive coordinators (or so we’re told).

I wonder if he is such a QB guru teams are willing to overlook some of his failings?

My dead grandma could dial up 48 points per game at Alabaga right now. All they need is a someone to grab bag any plays and get out of the way.

When has Spermy Fart been a proven genius with offensive coaches? He’s the same guy who just hired Jim Coley who everyone on here hated and thought was a clown. He faced one good D in ND and did nothing all that well. Swift left. Swift right.

We need something better than basic here. Alabaga and UbaGA don’t right now.

Alabama and Georgia were both trying to hire Enos as OC. I think the guy knows what he's doing. Lots of football to be played this year before the truth on Enos comes out. Looking forward to watching it all play out.

GoCanes! We gonna whoop Va Tech on saturday.

Bama and Georgia have the Olines and the talent to run just about any offense they want. You’d have to be a really piece of **** loser to fail as an OC at those two programs. It’s a different animal when you’re trying to run an offense with a weak Oline and average to above average talent. That’s when your real coaching abilities show.

I agree but this season still matters and adjustments need to be made. Have to salvage the recruiting class and keep the mopes from going into full-blown outrage mode.

He CAN do that.

Recruits is the main reason he needs to pull out all the stops to get wins and better prepare to deal with known problems.

Taking a tight end out of the route to help Zion does take away some of the threat downfield, but it doesn’t matter if the qb is under instant pressure.

He has to do more to give the offense a shot even if it means not being as versatile. Hopes and dreams won’t get us wins over beatable acc teams.

Max protect, rpo, screens, three receiver route combos, chips, swing passes, double teams, rollouts etc, etc, etc. Whatever it takes to get the ball out quickly and stay ahead of the chains has to be on the table. Our wide receivers have good wheels. We can do damage with rac yards.

The first drive against UFag was excellent and should be the blueprint. Get unc offense with some red zone touchdowns and we are cooking with gas.

Get the wins and show the recruits we mean business about TNM. Then you can build for the future.

Saban and his crew find coaches who have the brainpower/capability of being great, and then Saban reigns in their stupidity and uses them to their full potential. Then those coaches leave and revert to their old tendencies.

Best explanation I’ve read on how saban works with his coaches. Explains why many look so good at Bama (talent advantage doesn’t hurt) yet look so pedestrian when they leave.
