Weinke in the house

[thegtstunner08]

Well, the offensive hires have been impressive. Hope that equates to wins. Maybe we will be like we were in the late 90s and out score everyone......nah LOL.

And Key pushed for Long to get the OC job.

I hadn't heard that specifically, but I'd believe you considering what I do know about that hire.

 

[BigDanT]

All I have to say is finally a little bit of excitement in the coaching additions. Not that I did t like the others but this one could be over the top.

That’s what I am speculating as well

This one is huge to me because I was very skeptical of Long coaching QBs. I'm still skeptical of that hire, but I can at least be optimistic that it may look more like his ND days than his Tulane days if the QB position coaching is handled by a true QB coach.

 

[ScionOfSouthland]

Hopefully some people who know how to take a program seriously will make a big difference… no more of the gimmicky crap

Resume wise, the O staff is a big upgrade. Losing Choice is just a ‘Tech can’t have nice things’ that we just learn to live with.

OC

Yeah, we will have some pros with experience at big programs running the offense. Collins should be able to focus all his attention on fixing the defense.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

We ever figure out that Undertaker gif?

 

[verdi]

The juice is building to a steady boil.

Get ready to WIN!

 

[swampsting]

He was like 30 when he played for FSU so he must be around 60 now

We should ask what it was like to be in the same backfield with Lee Corso and Burt Reynolds

 

[OptionJacket]

I like it. The more coaches who worked under real coaches the better. If we just could have kept Choice! Hopefully he’ll be back one day.

 

[ricejacket]

If he can develop Sims like he did Hooker then this is a great hire.

 

[mookie43]

Never more than a year or two at any place……will suit him well coming here

 

[savbandjacket]

I got to hear him speak a few months ago at a QB Club. I was sitting there thinking “Tech needs to hire this unemployed guy.” He’s a very likable guy and seemed to know his stuff. He had no love whatsoever for Tennessee. I hope he does well.

 

[The Champ]

Looks like QBs developed best after he left at Tennessee and the Rams

 

[ricejacket]

Take a look at what Henden Hooker did this year. He has a lot of the same skill set as Sims. Hooker had 31 TD's vs. 3 Ints completed 68% of this passes while rushing for 820. If he could pull that out of Sims we could have ourselves a true game changer.

Didn’t Hooker arrive after Weinke left?

 

[aeromech]

What if he develops Gibson instead?

 

[mookie43]

Didn’t Hooker arrive after Weinke left?

Yes. He was there in 2019 and 2020 and was fired at the end of the 2020 season
