Get someone with a ultra playbook that wants to take the offense & a upcoming big athlete qb Gardner to new heights. Run like PSU & the Michael Robinson years Gardner fits that profile and better.David LaFleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965238005754766558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-14363447943219249202012-11-29T22:36:49.483-05:002012-11-29T22:36:49.483-05:00I don't buy into the "they need the right...I don't buy into the "they need the right players" logic. Mattison is a great example. Good coaches make the most of what they have. Bad coaches try to fit a square peg into a round hole with, of course, disastrous results. It's great that Hoke wants to run the ball and stop the run, etc. But you have adjust strategies to play to your strengths and minimize your weaknesses -- regardless of what your preferences are. He seems too inflexible, to devoid of reality, in a lot of little ways as well: the headset wearing thing, to be considered a good coach.JQPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693712141564782187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-55449420982805171302012-11-28T22:13:58.260-05:002012-11-28T22:13:58.260-05:00Teddy T, Loeffler was just the qb coach during his...Teddy T, Loeffler was just the qb coach during his time @ MICHIGAN and he was very successful with getting those qb's in the NFL. Its not his fault on whether they succeed or fail in the next level. As far as Auburn goes that was only his 2nd year as an OC, but he did pretty decent at Temple. <br />Like I said when hoke brought AB in that SL was better than AB in that dept, just look at the history on the 2. <br />Far as talent, we have it, you must play to the individuals strengths and quit trying fit a circle into a square peg hole.<br />maize n blue bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727794464652768254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-16078417639711787872012-11-28T14:47:53.982-05:002012-11-28T14:47:53.982-05:00I don't buy the point that Al doesn't &quo...I don't buy the point that Al doesn't "have the players for his system" Neither did Mattison last year or this year...he's still workin with RR and GERG's recruits so that point means nothing to me.

We went 0-4 against OSU and only won just one bowl game. Plus if you compare the talent we had under Carr to what we have now... its not even close. <br /><br />Henne, Hart, Long, Breaston, Arrington, Manningham.<br /><br />Denard, Fitz, Lewan, Roundtree, Gallon, Dileo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-47366663367410871032012-11-28T09:23:06.716-05:002012-11-28T09:23:06.716-05:00We need to keep a pipeline running to florida!!!!!...We need to keep a pipeline running to florida!!!!!<br /><br />when you look at Robinson and Gallon and to the think they were ranked #31 and #34 says a lot about the talent in florida.<br /><br />Mattison was a great recruiter in florida. Maybe mr. stubborn will ask him to go down there and see if he can some commits like he did with Tebow.<br /><br />I don't know. Mr. Stubborn just wants to stay in the midwest for talent. Sad but true, a 3* player in florida is almost better than a 4* player in the midwest. We are going to need that speed to compete across the country.<br /><br />Well Mr. stubborn what are you gonna do.maize n blue bloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727794464652768254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-72788040603734529652012-11-28T06:44:04.076-05:002012-11-28T06:44:04.076-05:00I think the answer is "get the right players&...I think the answer is "get the right players" to fit our system, give them a stable system to develop in, and watch them bind into a machine...stability is key.

You have Burzynski and Gunderson in your rotation when otherwise they wouldn't be in most Big Ten rotations, in fact Michigan had unproven freshman on their 2-3 deep rotations chart on the Offensive line; that should tell us right there that our offense would be in trouble coming into this year. Think about this offensive line up for a moment, there was nothing about this line up that struck fear in the hearts of any defensive coordinator coming into this year outside of Denard.<br /><br />Any good and solid defense was going to be able to give this offense a lot of problems because outside of Denard, Taylor and a couple of others the talent was average. Even Rich Rod with Denard struggled against good defenses so you know Big Al was going to struggle. <br />The difference between Greg Mattison and Big Al is like the difference between a Chef and a Diner cook. The Chef can cook ham and eggs and then come back and prepare a meal fit for a king, but a Diner cook can only cook ham and eggs. And even so, you still have to give the Chef what he needs in order to do it.<br />Voice of Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09249702271701679486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-19418637376032617652012-11-27T14:33:10.576-05:002012-11-27T14:33:10.576-05:00To me I guess it's pretty easy.
