To me, the fact that he's been with Clawson all that time is a huge selling point. We don't need a job-hopper at offensive coordinator. We don't want to have a situation like Mason had, where the QB had to learn four different offenses in his four seasons as a Gopher.

As far as your statement that this season was their first breakout year at Wake, according to the following that's simply not true for their offense...

"Over the last four seasons, Ruggiero has directed one of the most prolific offenses in college football. Ruggiero has coordinated a Demon Deacon offense that has set or tied over 300 offensive records in the past four seasons. The Deacons’ accomplishments over the last four years have included posting four of the top five total offense seasons in school history. Since the start of the 2017 season, Wake Forest’s 103 touchdown passes are the third most ACC team and the most of any four-year period in school history.

2017-2019 produced the three highest scoring seasons in school history with each club surpassing 400 points. Wake Forest’s 1,300 points scored during the last three years is the highest-scoring three-year period in Deacon history.

While the Deacs did not reach the 400-point barrier in 2020 due to playing in just nine game, Wake Forest added another offensive record to Ruggiero's tenure. The Demon Deacons averaged 36.0 points per game, edging out the 2017 record of 35.3 points per game."

Good stuff, RM.

So perhaps, this is just the first year that their defense has caught up to their offense? Interesting, certainly plausible.

Ciarrocca was the offensive coordinator until a week before the bowl game. That was likely his game plan and Simon just followed through with it and called the plays.

No he wasn't. He left right after the last game. He was preparing for Penn State's bowl game, not Auburn.

GWG loves to perpetuate this lie, just to be a troll.

It was Simon's plan, for the passing game. He was the passing game coordinator. Callahan was the running-game coordinator (still is), it was his plan for the running game.

KC probably had some ideas but mainly just picked and chose the ideas of Simon and Callahan that he liked, and called the plays.


Disprove it.
 











How is this not a Grand Slam? We have a guy who has proven he is successful here previously in the role - added with the current QB. We have a guy in Simon who has gained experience. We have continuity amongst our coaching staff (the biggest thing in CFB). See WI, IA, NW. We now have Fleck, Rossi, Simon, KC with multiple years here. That breeds continuity. Something this program needs.

All those TE people, we had 4 completions to the TE vs Auburn. Settle. Would you target the TE regularly with Bateman, TJ, CAB? No. TEs weren’t featured with the talent at WR. That doesn’t mean he won’t without those NFL WRs chill.

Further, KC develops QBs. Simon is a WR coach. I want my OC being a QB coach. We have two young QBs waiting in the wings in Knuth and the Greek. Get them under KC’s wings and may the best man win. Go Gophers!
