I’m in the minority but I’m totally fine with Gary being hands-off on offense. He’s a defense guy and shouldn’t be sticking his head in things he doesn’t know. A huge part of being a good leader is making good hires and trusting them to do their job.
Now, I have had issues with his OC hires/promotions over the years, but I’m good with the overall strategy in theory.
As far as Cumbie goes, I was all-in on the Cumbie bandwagon when he took over, but I am extremely skeptical at this point. I’m not in the practices or on the sidelines, so I don’t know what all goes on... maybe Cumbie is a genius and these players just can’t execute, but if I had to guess, it’s a combination and Cumbie isn’t the guy. We are going on year 3 with Cumbie as the main OC/sole play-caller and the results have been anywhere from terrible to mediocre, depending on the season. Based strictly on the results on the field, it has been bad.
He’s an air raid guy who runs an offense that wants to pass the ball, but it can’t, so it falls back on the run game.
