Interesting stat on Yost as an OC candidate

I read an article a couple years ago about Yost and how he burned out from the grind at Mizzou. Seems like he has a lot of loyalty to Wells from what I remember reading.

If he know Tooligowski from his Mizzou days and trusts his opinion I highly doubt you’ll see him leave his stable place with Wells to come here.

Yeap. I think we read same article.
He is a solid coach but struck me as someone who is very big on family.
I did not get impression he would like gig in a big city.
 
I have a hard time believing any good coach would even want to associate with the stank within & around the program at this point in time. Could be career suicide with Mandy & Flake driving the boat. With that said Enos sucked balls.

Chise....The Defense was the problem...way more than the Off...I read an article (school affiliated) that said the Defense was the primary problem....Yost's entire Body of work the last 15+ yrs is Top Notch...

I’m aware of Yost. I’ve been a fan, but I don’t think there’s a chance he’d come here for the reasons I mentioned.

Defense at TTU has been trash forever, but that never stopped Kingsbury from lighting up the scoreboard. Anyone have help on the comparative stats between 2018 and 2019?

You're probably right.

We likely agree at the end result - he's not coming here - but I see it as...why would this incredibly well accomplished coach and coordinator leave his bubble to come here? He seems dramatically overqualified to come to this ****.

Its not like he's a hive coach, where he's never left this one man like he's Bud Foster. He's been around. But he's exceptionally qualified to coach...why would this man come to Miami unless Miami is dropping a million on him and you just can't turn down that kind of money.

The offense will without question turn around in one year with this guy. I have no doubt. Sack rate will drop. We'll likely have a near historic season passing the football regardless of what bum quarterback we got slinging it. But...why in the fvck would he come to this hellhole if not for some legit coin.

Texas Tech football: OC David Yost not getting enough credit for 2019

Though many Texas Tech football fans were not pleased with OC David Yost did in 2019, he was able to produce a pretty good offense.
wreckemred.com wreckemred.com

Let’s look at the overall numbers for the offense. The Red Raiders finished this year 11th in total offense nationally at 474.3 yards per game and 7th nationally in passing yards at 324.7 yards per game. Those are the two numbers that Red Raider children of the “Air Raid” era look to first when judging the offense in Lubbock.

Stop to consider that those numbers in both categories are almost exactly where the 2018 offense was ranked last year under Kingsbury’s guidance. A year ago, the Red Raiders were 12th nationally in total offense and 3rd in passing.

In the end, both Kingsbury and Yost had to start three different quarterbacks in each of the last two years with Jett Duffey playing way more than either coach intended. The difference came out to be 11 yards per game, with Kingsbury’s offense having a slight advantage.


The only major difference came in the scoring difference. Yost’s offense put up 30.1 points per game (55th nationally), while Kingsbury’s 2018 group scored 37.3 (16th nationally). But stop to consider why the difference existed.

Essentially, Kingsbury had the advantage of having his starting QB in place for seven games as opposed to just three this year as was the case for Yost. Kingsbury also had 1,400-yard receiver Antoine Wesley, one of the best big-play receivers in the nation last year.

Meanwhile, Yost had to work with the worst receiving corps Tech has fielded in the last 20 years. There just was not any big-play threat on this receiving corp outside of Dalton Rigdon, a former walk-on. That’s going to make it harder for a team to score because instead of having tons of huge scoring plays of 40-plus yards, points are going to have to come as the result of sustained drives.

Ultimately, Tech struggled to get touchdowns in red-zone situations and that’s where the offense left points on the field. Had Antoine Wesley been back for his senior year, imagine how much better this year’s offense would have looked thanks to his ability to stretch the defense.

Kevin Johns is a good one. Would also be cheaper than Brady and Yost which will allow you to find some sort of recruiting ace at CB coach.

I’m not concerned with cheap, friend. Cheap is something created by fans to rationalize our failure. Manure hired his friends like most bad coaches with no Rolodex do.
