Replace Greg Harbaugh Jr. With?

I mean, watching the game today, the playbook was about as imaginative as you can ask for, loads of motion, misdirection, screens to take advantage of aggressive edge rush, changing formations, wildcat - seems like Harbaugh went absolutely all out on this gameplan, not trying to just burn clock and keep the score down. Unfortunately only led to 13 points, which is disappointing considering so few offensive penalties and no turnovers.

Apart from the run game being non-existent (which I blame on the OL more than anything) the thing the bothers me the most this season is how many times we throw behind or at the line of scrimmage and either get immediately stood up or only 1-2 yards. It feels like any time we have a player roll out that way opposing defenses always bite on it because we haven't been able to make them pay for it.

I'm not sure if Drake is going to the check down too early, if he's missing down field reads, if the TE and WR are giving him nothing so he's forced to throw it, or if the OC is just continually calling plays where this is the first or second read and it's just not working.

Yeah, I didn’t say it was smart or effective. For all the motion and misdirection it is a lot of horizontal behind the LOS stuff. It depends on guys breaking tackles basically.
 

I'd take a hard look at Joel Gordon at USF if making a change after this season. Spent time at ISU, is doing pretty well at USF, and has plenty of experience as a QB coach (and played QB himself).

Joel Gordon!? THE Joel Gordon?? Never heard of him. And with the USF roster and the talent edge they have over pretty much everyone they play in their conference it seems pretty tough to really evaluate his skill set.

"Gordon, Gordon, Gordon!"
 


Hot take OC is not the issue, talent is the issue. If we fire our OC players leave and decommit. If Lindsey were to stay he has to learn a whole new playbook again.
