This will be an unpopular post...but who first noticed Joe Burrow's potential?

[TheMatador]

It was Dan Enos!

Before that, Burrows attended our NC game in the Rose Bowl as a six-year old. His father was a Nebraska assistant.

Good QB coach. **** poor OC. Antiquated approach. Joes story would be different. Like 2018 different. Same talent. Different system.

 

[linesniper]

Was he on anyone's radar?

The big question is what changed from last year to this one.

 

[Moonman]

Only a 2IQ moron would argue that Enos doesn't know the QB position as well as just about anyone.

He failed here because his QB room was full of flakes and the OL was full of holes.

Having said that, I'm glad he's moved on. Was never a good fit here.

Nah, it was me.

BTW, is this like the Internet version of Truth or Consequences?

Calling the wrong play at the wrong time might have played a bit of a role.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not defending the guy. Plenty of mistakes were made. I hated that ******* Bible on the QBs wrist. I hated that the running game was an afterthought. I hated alot about our offense in 2019. I just don't hate the man. I think things could have gone better had there been some actual accountability among the players.

Not sure if serious

this is a really good question. his numbers were good but nothing close to this year. arguably pretty good but not great.

 

[ShadowSpring]

Urban Meyer recruited him.

I recognize Mozart's ability. Still can't play a violin to save my ****.

I knew he was ood and wanted Miami to go after him but didnt know he was this good.

NFL coach addition , 23 year old grad student with no classes just online work .

he wasnt this last year. the improvement he made over the summer w his footwork and just overall game has been insane along with the coaching

He was just too unwilling to implement a system that was a good fit for the talent (or lack thereof) that he had on the team. With a horrible OL and immature QBs, you still should never lose to 2019 GT, FIU or LT. Probably not Duke either.

Unwilling or unable. The system seems to have worked for those players who put in the work.

Deejay averaged 6 ypc behind the worst OL I can remember.

Brevin and Osborne did well.

Harley and Wiggins had breakout campaigns.

Could they all have benefitted even more with a system such as the one Lashlee is bringing? Absolutely, but I don't expect the other guys who didn't want to play for Enos to suddenly become hard workers and live up to their star ratings just because they have a fresh start with a new coach. Some of these players are just not built for it.

You should not be afraid to admit that Enos had some good qualities and skills. Being OC was not really one of them. People did not really like Whipple either but he brought in and left the program with an NFL caliber qb (Stephen Morris). Maybe we get the same situation with Van Dyke.
