New Barry Jackson: Trustees Seek Change in Offense

OK this is weird. I'm guessing a BOT member or two is on this board. I could swear the article is quoting this site verbatim (maybe some of these things are obvious to any Canes fan, but the phrasing is pretty much word for word from this site). Makes me feel a bit better that the power brokers see the writing on the wall. If they want more good advice from
this site, this one's free- Mike Leach should be the next hire, but see if he would be willing to keep Diaz for stability.
 
“The play-calling stinks. Mark should be paying attention to the whole game instead of calling plays. Al Golden didn’t want to listen to us about [firing defensive coordinator] Mark D’Onofrio and the same thing is happening here. He has to look at his son [quarterbacks coach Jon Richt] and the offensive line coach [Stacy Searels]. This is the problem with hiring your son. Our special teams aren’t good enough. There are a lot of problems.”

Stuff like this honestly caught me off guard. They weren't exactly pulling any punches and its almost like I was reading CIS.

Imagine hiring a legit $1 million OC/QB coach and Richt just being the CEO. He could control these issues in the locker room more effectively and be more involved in the areas that are lacking and hold his staff more accountable.. for instance get involved with the OL if they aren't performing or the WR if they drop passes... instead of being so involved with QBs and installation that you don't have time for it and you rely only on that position coach.

If it was anyone other than his son at QB coach I could see it but idk. Not only that but you would also have to strip the title of CO-OC away from Brown and Dugans. Presents 3 issues... taking titles away from 2 guys and expecting them to stick around happily.. and firing your son. Neither of those are going to happen. Any good names out there that can legitimately call plays and coach an OL? Don't see those 2 positions held simultaneously very often and for good reason. You need the OC to be very involved with the QB.

Not gonna say we could have our choice of OC for that money but we could have a **** good one to pair with Manny. I believe in Richt the CEO but not what he's doing now.
