None of what you wrote supports Kendall Briles credentials as an OC. There are plenty of HC's that call plays. Facts. I know there are arguments to be made on both sides about HC/play callers. That's not what I am disputing. The Kendall Briles love affair on here is unsubstantiated nonsense is all.Wtf has Kendall Briles done aside from work for offensive gurus? Does anyone actually think he was responsible for the success of Art or Kiffin's offenses? Let's rephrase...would FAU had a bad offense without him or is it possible that Kiffin (an offensive Mastermind) would have been able to field a successful offense no matter what?
Is it the Art Briles system or the Kendall Briles system? Where does last year's darling (Matt Canada) work right now? He did such an awesome job at LSU.

You are right - Kiffin is an offensive genius, but he didn't call plays because he learned that it is too much for a head coach to handle both. You know who taught him that? Nick Saban, probably the GOAT college coach, who can out coach anyone defensively, but also gave up calling defensive plays. Kiffin hired an OC, Briles, who could implement Kiffin's vision and call plays. Same for Saban on D. Briles doesn't have to have some amazing scheme, but he certainly has a good feel for the game and knows what plays to call at the right time. Richt could still design the offense, you need someone good to oversee the implementation and execution. There is a reason the vast, vast majority of HCs at both college and NFL don't call their own plays even though they probably became HCs due to excellence as coordinators - it's just too much to do both jobs.

You're right. Briles accomplished nothing.
Architect of an offense ranked No. 9 in the nation, Briles accepted the offensive coordinator position at Houston, the Cougars announced on Saturday. The Owls averaged 498.4 yards per game in Briles lone season as offensive coordinator.
Briles came to FAU from Baylor, installing the ultra-high tempo Baylor offense that led to FAU scoring 40.8 points per game in 2017 – eight best nationally.
Under Briles, the Owls led Conference USA in scoring with 40.6 points a game. They also averaged a league-high 285.3 rushing yards.

Installing a gimmick offense into a terrible league. What a feat.
Great argument considering FAU was total **** before he got there playing against the same ****. You must be a very skilled debater.
