He was a high school qb. Have him throw on occasion. Even if the throw is incomplete, it will keep the opposing D honest…Lining him up as a QB and have him take off running can't last long, even the Tech D caught on after a few times................
Yeah, he's terrific. He's certainly not responsible for the way our offense continually draws penalties, commits turnovers, and disappears for multiple quarters in games even against statistically awful defenses whose head coach is going to be fired. This is exactly what TCU should look like on offense for me. Anyone else?Gee, its like our OC might have a clue how to help the team score.
Certainly got creative to try and get a running game going. Even got more creative after a couple of straight up Savion runs didn’t go anywhere so a couple of new wrinkles were introduced.Gee, its like our OC might have a clue how to help the team score.
Savion has great instincts as a ball carrier. Loved the cut at the line as much as the spin move on the first TD. (first play here) : )
Also, Hoov made excellent back shoulder throws for TD's to Bech and McAlister, and threaded the needle perfectly to Dabney for another score. I know we gripe about Hoov's turnovers. But he makes great throws.
He actually can throw the ball quite well. I expect to see that soon, likely next SaturdayLining him up as a QB and have him take off running can't last long, even the Tech D caught on after a few times................
Um, I think by “groundless personal grievance” you mean “well-founded concerns based on documented past performance in his professional role”. I don’t care if the guy invents the world’s greatest offense ever, we should hold those in positions of leadership an authority to a higher standard - and his actions while at Baylor make him unfit for any role at TCU.Yeah, he's terrific.

The idea that anything Johnny Tape-fingers ever does right, even if it's finding a creative fix for a problem that is his responsibility in the first place, immediately negates all of the criticisms of him and/or proves that his detractors are motivated by groundless personal grievance is silly. Two seasons' worth of evidence says he's not a good coach. That doesn't mean he can't do anything right. But on balance he seems to get more wrong, and the most important things.
Why not just play him at quarterback and find another role for Hoover or make him QB#2?He actually can throw the ball quite well. I expect to see that soon, likely next Saturday
I tend to suspect that most football coaches are probably at least a little bit gross. I wouldn't have hired Briles in light of his back history at Baylor because I don't believe he knew nothing about it, but as others have fairly pointed out, we hired Kaz, who was at least as important to the Briles regime as Art, Jr. Again, I'm sure we could have hired other people in those roles who didn't have that back history, but if the argument is fair for Johnny Tape-fingers it's fair for any other former Briles-era Baylor refugees, too.Um, I think by “groundless personal grievance” you mean “well-founded concerns based on documented past performance in his professional role”.

Let's not get carried away here.Gee, its like our OC might have a clue how to help the team score.
yup, they caught on pretty quick.Lining him up as a QB and have him take off running can't last long, even the Tech D caught on after a few times................
I hate to agree with it, but carelessness is a good descriptive.It’s not that he doesn’t make great throws. He does on occasion. It’s the carelessness with the ball that is just a killer at times. Like on that fumble at the 5-yard line, he has to know that in that situation, and especially on first down, you’ve got to know that either the throw is there, or you protect the ball and play another down. I guess you could say it’s a poor play call but he just doesn’t seem to understand the importance of possession enough. He’s cost us multiple times by not being aware and being way too loose with the ball at critical spots on the field.
