Did you read the story?
Kill quotes are very revealing about the problems we have on the offensive side.
I read the story. I wanted another persons perspective besides what the writer wrote and their insight. Obviously you cannot contribute anything positive so why comment? Are you the Killerfrogs question editor or Mac Engal?
Just spitballing here. But I have a feeling that if someone had told us in late October that the only proactive change to the coaching staff would be a move of Anderson to OL and the acquisition of Jerry Kill in an analyst role this board would have lost its collective mind.
But now it seems like there’s an abundance of wishful hoping.
What else can we do?
Heh. If that happened, I'd probably turn it off for good, and start watching soccer...maybe start at cautious optimism and build from there if we do see some changes come next august against cal.
the counter of course is total anarchy on this board if the first offensive series in berkley ends up with a turnover or 2 straight bubble screens, a deep fade to a 5'6" receiver and then a 20 yard punt
I’m optimistic but based on offensive “proven” talent and the amount of teams in the B12 that are returning proven QBs, this team still has a pretty tough road to a bowl game. There’s a chance we play better offensively and still sit on the bowl bubble.
Bay,Ok St, KSt, ISU, WVU all beat us and return the QB that started against us. Add UT and OU which have the talent to beat us..Max and the OL will have to be significantly better for us to even get to 8 wins which I think is the realistic ceiling for us.
Question for you smart young'uns:
As an "analyst", will Kill be able to sit upstairs on game day and wear a headset?

Reveal, quote the Raven.
i agree that it appears kill will indeed work to bring some structure to the offensive side of the ball.
not as sure on the "new" ideas from meacham, not saying he can't bring something to the offense, but this was the part of the off season that gets a bit confusing to me.
reminds me of friend's father who was married 8 times to 6 different women with marriage #1, 3, and 7 to the same woman.
do hope that we see a structured run game as well better execution from the entire offense
Liked for the use of "no KILL factor."Obviously Gary reads this message board. That is both good and bad. If he can get Jerry Kill to the 80 to 85% 'Coach P' mode level on the offense during practices and conference games to pair with the defense Gary has coming back next year... well then put me down for 4 seats at the Big XII championship game.
I was on the sidelines of one of our away games last season. Coach P in Coach P mode is on point. He's the man in that element. The defensive players seemed to be pissed/ foaming animals when the results on their side of the ball were not up to snuff during that game. What I saw from the offensive players were a bunch of polite guys just waiting for the turn to go back in and play. No kill factor what so ever minus some fire I saw in the eyes of Max. The offensive freshman players on the travel team were looking at the senior offensive players like 'what is going on with these dudes?' There were players on that offensive side of the ball taking off their wrist tape well before they were done playing the game. We need someone to give those offensive guys the same predator juice and a direction on how to be a champion WHILE ALSO keeping them chill and not over tight before they go in. Doug Meacham will keep them cool and collected between plays and hopefully Coack Kill will put some execution of excellence in them. Please put Coach Cumbie in the skybox for 2020 with Chad Glasgow.
Don’t really get the marriage analogy. This is more like a harem with multiple assistants. It’s like that one harem member that added ‘something different’ leaves then comes back. And Meacham might bring new ideas but just shaking us out of our play calling rut or second guessing seems worthwhile.
