Would anyone even try to argue with this?
Having worked in corporate America, this is not surprising to me. Certain people have a talent for failing upward.Keeps getting those jobs though.
It definitely was the OCI remember a guy on this board last year preaching how it wasn’t the OC, couldn’t have been more wrong.
It definitely was the OC
It wasn’t the OC who was CONSERVATIVE
Which is a completely different discussion.
Correct.To my eye, the difference between the two is not the run/pass ratio. I haven't looked at numbers, but it seems like we still run way more than we throw, just as always.
The difference is in passing efficiency. We are much more productive when we throw than we we under Sanford.
The slant is a pass that Morgan does a really good job of hitting. In 2019 teams couldn't figure out how to stop it.I'm old and my brain continually gets smoother so things slide off more readily, but I can't remember the Gophers running jet sweeps last year and Colorado ran about a half dozen (or so it seems) of them yesterday. A lot has to do with personnel (and what the head coach might want), but I thought Sanford's passing game scheme when he was here was almost as rudimentary as Limegrover's. Ciarrocca isn't a pass-happy guy, but there appears to be a bit more nuance to his passing game (only exception being his seeming over-reliance on the slant pattern).

I do not think there were 6 jet sweeps yesterday. Or do you mean jet motion with or without them getting the ball?I'm old and my brain continually gets smoother so things slide off more readily, but I can't remember the Gophers running jet sweeps last year and Colorado ran about a half dozen (or so it seems) of them yesterday.

Yesterday Colorado got the edge a few times because of great motions that put our defense in bad spots. He isn’t a great OC but he isn’t an idiot. Colorado scored infinitely more points and had infinitely more rushing yards than they did last year in the same game.To this *non-professional coach at the most basic level Sanford just can’t seem to take what the defense is begging him to do leading to failure on standard downs then predictable failure on low percentage passing downs. Numbers, spacing, and so on. The scheme, execution and coaching em up issues are icing on top. Painful to watch. Maybe football is just too complicated for mortals to understand but I don’t think so.

I do think he is a bad QB coach. It seems his QBs are always late with the ball no matter what team he is coaching.

Both (KC and Sanford) were the QB coach.To this *non-professional coach at the most basic level Sanford just can’t seem to take what the defense is begging him to do leading to failure on standard downs then predictable failure on low percentage passing downs.
