Who is Gerry Sanduskey, Alex?

My issue with the Jerry Kill hire is that his past doesn't indicate that he's the fix for the current problem.
[
We had the 9th ranked passing offense in the B12 in 2019 in terms of YPG. It seems like additions to the offensive staff should've been focused on addressing our passing game. Maybe that's what Meach is supposed to do, but Jerry Kill is a run the ball guy.
What I find particularly vexing is that since Meachum left, we haven't altered our run/pass mix. It was 45% passes in 2017 and 2018, and 44% passing in 2019.
You rang?
Did not read. Anyone on here writing this many paragraphs must be psychotic and devoid of cognitive thought.User name is very apropos here. Certainly Dr. Patterson is signaling that he will never consider any more invasive or thoroughgoing kind of intervention to his ailing offensive staff.
As for 'giving this lineup a chance', what else can we do? We're going to wait eight long months hoping without any particular reason that Jerry Kill as superintendent and the return of a former OC who enjoyed only partial success will turn things around for a staff whose on-field product has been appalling for two straight years and at least uninspiring for four. How good would Jerry Kill have to be for that kind of turnaround to be a reasonable expectation?
Why should we assume that Doug Meacham part two will be 2014-15 edition rather 2016 edition?
I'm not saying these things won't happen, just that with the track records of the assistants GP clearly has no intention of ever replacing under any performance-related circumstances whatsoever, there is no reason to expect them to happen.
Hope may be, as the Germans say, the last thing to die. But if you think there's reason to predict anything other than continued ineptitude from this slightly reconfigured offensive staff, you're fooling yourself. That said, I hope GP and hiscroniesstaff prove me wrong. Go Frogs!
Yep, sounds like the coaching hires are done. Unless one leaves I guess.So is the RB coach from Colorado State still headed to TCU?
Lots of cooks in the kitchen...I for one is feeling dubious about the chemistry and make-up of this new offensive staff...Yep, sounds like the coaching hires are done. Unless one leaves I guess.
if you look at the numbers since the frogs have joined the big 12 they have struggled in the passing game.
bigger fan of the pass efficiency numbers versus passing yards, but they tell a similar story as to your numbers:
2012 - 8th
2013 - 9th
2014 - 3rd
2015 - 4th
2016 - 8th
2017 - 3rd
2018 - 8th
2019 - 10th
a number of posters like to focus on 2014-15 for obvious reasons except i don't see the frogs going back to the hunh style of offense, but i do suggest looking at 2017.
specifically because the the frogs ran the ball~55% percent of the type, but used the run game to open up plays in the passing game.
the frogs run game last year really was centered around zone blocking and the zone read. i would like to see them go back to a schemed run game featuring 3-4 plays out of multiple formations.
if the frogs can get to a point where teams have to focus on specifically stopping the run game that opens up the passing game to big plays down the field.
The best way to understand what's going on with the coaching staff is to compare our football program to a Mafia family. Patterson is the "don" or the "boss." He has now hired Kill to be his highly-trusted "consigliere." Cumbie remains a "capo" with the other offensive coaches being Cumbie's "soldiers," including Meacham, who used to be a capo but who's now been demoted (a possible source of intra-family tension, obviously).
In a Mafia family, the consigliere never tells a capo what to do but, if a capo screws up, the consigliere tells the boss about it and advises the boss how to handle the situation. This whole arrangement is not hard to understand, I just hope it works.
(Perhaps my Mafia analogy was coincidentally inspired by Kill's last name and Cumbie's first name. Although, given the ineptness of our offense recently, perhaps Cumbie should change his first name from Sonny to Fredo. And I'm afraid what we may need in the end is a Michael Corleone to come out of nowhere and save the family).

Saw one of those made out of a potato once.

I actually made a chart that shows efficiency too, but I thought it would only serve to muddy the water. I kept the chart only to reflect play calls because that indicates philosophy in play calling and overall design of offense. I think Cumbie and Kill will/should develop those areas. Efficiency can point to personnel issues in your offense and in defenses you’re playing.
I agree with you 100% that efficiency is the most important. We ultimately reached the same conclusion: we did a terrible job passing the ball and that needs to improve.
I thought the best way to improve that, would’ve been a passing game coordinator similar to what LSU did this year. I hope I’m wrong but it appears that the focus was cronyism instead.

I just want to know who ends up with the cannoli in this scenario.
