Chip Long - New OC

[BigDanT]

Hmm... scored one point less against Cincy than did ND... scored two points less against Oklahoma than did Ok. St.

Yeah but look at the average PPG for the whole season. We scored more this year.

What a career. Memphis under Norvell, ND under Kelly, recruiting coordinator at ASU.

He's certainly been around enough to know how to do it.

 

[murrayjacket]

Coordinated very successful offenses at ND and was a Broyle's award finalist. Certainly a better resume that Patenaude. I understand he's something of a hardass as well, which I think we need more of.

Not the most exciting hire to be sure, but definitely reasons to think he's an upgrade.

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

3-9 at tech vs 2-10 at Tulane ….

patendude is better…? Simple deduction

 

[GTBandit22]

I like it. Players we have recruited were for similar system and concepts. Big time experience calling plays for ND. Former recruiting coordinator with ties to some offensive wizards. We could have done much worse

Sure, just looking for the silver lining. Not too many coaches don't have bald spots on their resumes.

 

[Akinji07]

This is a higher profile hire than Patenaude. He’s apparently known for being a hard ass which is something we desperately need on this team. I’m going to support this hire. Let’s see if they bring in a new qb coach and get those OL and QB transfers for next year. Then we might just be ok.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Is this good? Are we happy?

Well, you can go into it with a high level of doubt and be a miserable SOB like most of the people on here. Or you can try to give this guy a chance and be excited for a fresh voice and perspective on the coaching staff. I choose the latter, but whatever…different strokes for different folks.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Not really excited to be honest.
Any body got an idea about why Tulane lost so many games this year?

They didn’t have the juice is what I heard.

I’ll be honest. There’s not a lot short of beating uga 222-0 that Collins can do to impress me after the cumulative effect of the past 3 years.

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

He

That was fast.

He def picked the right cover photo …

 

[00Burdell]

Yeah but look at the average PPG for the whole season. We scored more this year.

So using this logic, if we hired him a year ago it would have been the best hire in forever.

If we won 8 you’d be cool wouldn’t you?

Dear lord…

 

[WreckJunkie]

He will fit right in here ​

Cool! More 1 game winning streaks.

 

[savbandjacket]

If we won 8 you’d be cool wouldn’t you?

Not with a uga loss.

 

[BigDanT]

To be fair, if he can make in game adjustments then he’s already better than Paterdude. Node could script a couple of opening series very well though.

Oh, I'm going to be positive and supportive. Just wondering about everyone else.

Welcome to the Flats. Please suck less than P-Nut.

PS: Do you know anything about defense?

Time to go watch a season of Tulane football starting in January.
