Pittsburgh was a microcosm of why Enos needs to go

For our next OC hire can we please get someone with a history of not only running a uptempo spread offense but a high 3rd down percentage?

This should surprise no one but Enos' offenses at Arkansas were terrible on 3rd down. Signs of a bad OC are the ones who does not put his team in enough 3rd and short situations hence the percentage.

Perry was missing WRs left and right though. Unless your at the game or have all 22 film then it's extremely hard to determine if the play calling is bad or are we just not executing

The 3rd down %, red zone efficiency, and the pure amount of 3 & outs we have is staggering. We're 8 games in, these aren't anomalies, they're trends. Let's see if and how it improves if Jarren takes the helm.

Throughout the year, we've seen some glimpses of good from Enos' playbook:
  • First drive against Florida
  • A few drives in North Carolina
  • Opening and the 2 final drives against Virginia (we got one (1) 1st down between these drives)
That's all I can remember from the season where his offense was functioning as intended. Early on, we chucked up the inefficiencies to undisciplined penalties, bad field position, and poor offensive line play.

Fast forward to today:
  • 3 first half turnovers, all close to or in opposing territory
  • 0 first half penalties
  • 0 first half sacks
The 3 areas in which we thought hindered our offense were absent for a majority of the game and we still only mustered 150 yards and 10 points for 95% of the game.

We are in for a world of hurt if there isn't a change here soon.

This was Enos's worst game.

He's trying to force a style that we are not ready for. His style requires consistent RB pounding and our OL is terrible and can't open holes.

Manny can fire him or end up back at ESPN in two years. It's his choice.

Guarantee- he will stick with Enos same way Golden stuck with DNo. Golden's issue was loyalty. Diaz will feel guilty about convincing Enos to leave Bama if he fires him. He'll listen to Enos telling him that the system needs time.

Perry was 10/24

Our offense with that same QB was excellent against CMU and Virginia Tech :)

Sometimes I think posters here forget other teams give scholarships and pay their coaches to scheme and game plan every week.

Pitt came in with a Top 20 defense nationally is #1 overall in sacks. They have a couple of DBs that would be in the starting lineup for 95% of the Power 5 teams out there. There were hundreds of posts about how neither of our QBs would survive the first half pass rush onslaught.

So when an oppsing defense comes in and plays as advertised, the answer is to fire our OC? Imo in games like these an offense needs to take advantage of limited opportunites to score. Enos wasn't a world beater today but there were MULTIPLE opportunities where Perry sailed throws over the heads of wide open guys and we again had more than an acceptable number of crucial drops. From the first pass to his last, Perry at times seemed to have no idea where the ball was going when it left his hand.

That's why Jarren was named the starter and should stay there going forward. Yes he takes too many sacks, but he is poised and accurate as ****. The offense looked way better the moment he took over. We'll see how he looks going forward.
