I like this move. Guy is a proven good coach. I also want to believe that he is a professional, and has spent the last year learning and developing. Wouldn’t be surprised if he has been sitting down in film sessions, etc with other OC types in programs where he has relationships across the country. Coaches grow and learn. Some want the young new flashy guru and don’t think an old dog can hunt.
i haven't been one to ask for a joe brady type hire.
what i have been consistent is asking for someone with new ideas, a new approach, and i have been one who is in favor of kill coming onto staff for the things he can bring to the table to augment the offense.
possible meacham has been talking and exchanging ideas with his peers. the one concern in his background is that he since his time of ok state he has basically been with programs that run variations of the same offense and that isn't a great pathway to new ideas.
maybe he has taken a different path in something similar to riley at ou.
country frog hit the nail on the head in that the frustration for at least in my case is not if doug is a capable position coach, but it would seem the hire is only for a position coach and not someone bringing new ideas to an offense that desperately needs evolution
