Patenaude to be OC

[gtrower]

He had some good numbers with other teams but this hire doesn’t really matter because the focus under Collins will be defense, intensity, and recruiting.

The OC hire doesn’t matter?

Best staff since ‘98, if all these come together.

Fight me if you disagree.

I can't fight you. that's against the terms and conditions of this site.

As long as all of the assistants can sell ice to eskimos I'm good ..

I have no idea. I feel like the only way to evaluate people is to see how they did in their former jobs... did these offensive assistant coaches lead Temple into conference- or nation-leading offensive success? Somebody show me the stats – I'm flailing around unsure whether to be happy or sad. (Is it just me or is this beginning to feel like a Sartre novel?)

Exactly. I think it's crucial. How many teams in the last 10 years have been consistent winners without either a great offense or an overwhelming talent advantage?

I can’t wait until we have enough good players to where it actually matters who the OC is.

And some would says it's when you have enough good players that it doesn't matter who the OC is.

I don't care if we start pulling top 10 classes. If we can match the last 11 years of offensive output we should consider ourselves incredibly fortunate.

Defense, though... The defense should be better in Year 1 than it has been since 2008.

I just can’t wait till I have confidence that we might win a game without feeling like we have to score a TD every possession.

Obviously it matters but it’s not the focal point so as long as it looks decent enough I’m satisfied.

Who cares if we match the offensive output. The point is to win.

Well I was responding to a post about the offensive output in a thread about the OC hire soooo....

 

[texstinger]

Anything is better than an OC thinking sewak was the answer for 11 years.

 

[smokey_wasp]

From what I have seen, I think our personnel can execute Patenaude's concepts pretty well. If the Key rumors come true, as well, that would be huge.

We will have to get used to the idea of not having a scheme genius running the O. That's not going to be the model, anymore.

 

[33jacket]

What position are you taking?

Make more money not in coaching. Gonna continue being a message board irritant

 

[pkkghfn]

Has there been any confirmation yet that Patenaude will definitely be the (or one of the) OC?

The players were told he waoukd be the OC weeks ago.

Rumor on another site is that T Martin has been offered the job.

A rumor started by T Martins agent

 

[BuckNasty]

Temple players looked as checked out as Tech players did. Don’t draw any conclusions from a meaningless bowl game with interim coaching staffs.

I have to agree with this guy.
