They could hire a ham sandwich as OC and it'd be better than Brian, so I don't really care, unless it's Budmayr, the QB whisperer who brought in the worst QB I've seen in a Hawk uniform.
I think only Kirk and Beth know
- Thread starter GunnerHawk
- Start date
Why? Because the defense is good, meaning KF hasn't screwed it up by getting involved?
KF gets NO credit for a superior defense but gets at least 50% of the blame for a crappy offense. I've never bought into that theory.
The HC gets blame (Offense) and credit (Defense). I would say that PP has earned the autonomy and that KF is pretty hands off as KF's background is OL and not Defense.
Honestly, if Kirk hasn't been devoting almost 100% of his attention these last few years to the broken offense he SHOULD be fired.
As the head coach, Kirk should absolutely get credit for putting together a top notch staff on the defensive side of the ball and creating the environment for them to be successful. The results have been overwhelmingly positive.
Also, as the the head coach, Kirk should have spent every available moment addressing the abysmal offense. That's what needed attention. That's what good executives do. That's where Kirk has struggled. He hasn't been able to put together the staff or the solutions to what's gone wrong on that side of the ball.
I don't think so. He didn't even know it was going down until Beth told him over that weekend.
Better than that, how about the complete lambasting Kirk took when he hired his first o-line coach from the Ivy League? What the hell does an Ivy League coach know about B10 football? Well, O’Hara showed each and every one of them.
For sure, without question. I was just curious, would fans bite their lip if they thought if would help the offense.
I replied to your post about it being 100% Kirk's call. Kirk didn't even know it was going down until Beth told him.
His being retained through the end of the season was not "100% Kirk's call". In theory, it was at most 50%. BF doesn't report to Kirk. He reports to Beth. She didn't fire him. She made the announcement that his contract would not be renewed. To whatever extent KF had the ability to thumb the scales, it absolutely is not 100%.
What I am saying is that if it were 100% Kirk's call, BF would be our OC next year.
The non-renewable wasn't Kirk's call. Brian wasn't coming back next year. If Kirk wanted Brian gone before the end of the year, Brian would be fishing somewhere today. If Kirk wanted Brian to finish out the season, he was going to finish out the season. 100% Kirk's call on that.
Who would call the plays, Petras? Kirk? Develop the offensive game plan for remaining games?
No bueno.
Oh there are some who think we could have snatched away Bama's OC to come here with 4 games left and get us to 500 yards a game.
I think only Kirk and Beth know
If I had to guess, you are 50% correct.
He probably only talks to her when he absolutely has to. She won't be involved much in the hiring.
