Beamer OC question...
- Thread starter kappa kock
- Start date
His name was thrown out there somewhere. I’m leery of digging too much into the Spurrier era well. Part of what doomed Spurrier was lazy hires.
Don't know much about Garrett. GA was not a lazy hire. He was one of the reasons for the success we had.
I’m betting ole Ray has made a deal with Bobo that new HC keeps him as OC. Prove me wrong. I hope Beamer can bring in his own staff
Hope there is no Beamer staff...
I have heard he is being told he will be retained by school and new staff could use him as offensive analyst like Ellis Johnson was for defense for a while. He may not accept that but as for on field coach they are not telling new guy who they MUST keep other than encouraging to keep Shaw in some capacity.
Man oh man. I hope Beamer is not the hire (number 1). But, one of the few silver linings I see with Beamer is that he appears to be sold on Air Raid (offense). IF that's the case...yes he would probably bring Garrett Riley or someone like that...that is familiar with coaching that offense.
It would mean Bobo is pointless to keep. Once you commit to the Air Raid....that's what you run. No bouncing back and forth with I, etc.
3 years ago I would have thought (and we would have seen) hire a Bobo type to come run the offense. Even Saban (bastion of defense and all those thoughts that accompany ball control, possession, TOP, limited number of offensive plays for EITHER team in a game) has acknowledged that with the present rules you can't "do" that type of football anymore. So, the Kurt Ropers (spread ball control 4-5 yards dink/dunk), Bobos of the world are truly dinosaurs on offense nowadays. It can work some.....but ultimately if the other team is scoring on 3 plays and often quickly...it totally negates the field position football game. So, Air Raid (*and other similiar offensive systems) uses these principles front and center. It works and with present rules not going away....we had better get on board now.
We were way out front with run and shoot in the mid 80s....We need to return to wide open offense with defined rules that works.

That sounds pretty good. There is a thread over on TBS where there is discussion that he might be fired by SMU even though he has produced record breaking offenses. It sounds like he is not popular among fans for some reason. Frankly, I don't really care if he is popular at SMU.
Indeed we need a special preparation style offense. Riley is running mostly Rhett Lashley's offense, since that's who he took over from but he comes from that same mold of blending power run with air Raid principles. This offense if it happens, could be potentially awesome with Harris and Lloyd and recruit some good , don't have to be great receivers.
If Beamer is the coach, he'll have to run an offense with no wide receivers. Muschamp didn't recruit enough quarterbacks to convert to WRs.
What Beamer staff? The only staff he will attract is coaches that are unproven or come cheap.
From insiders i have heard only 2 names that come up that are keepers are shaw and wilson
He has produced record breaking players everywhere he has coached. Smu hc is a candidate for the vandy job so riley has options
The problem with Lashley's offense is that it wasn't effective against the better defenses. It was great against average or less defenses. Werner's offense was more effective....wish we could have used him differently. BMac was an idiot not to take advantage of that offense and experience.
Tend to agree....he hasn't earned the respect to attract top coordinators.
I think that Mangus would be a good TE coach working with Connor as QB coach. Maybe give him assistant head coach of offense or co-offensive coordinator. He knows a ton of football, and has always been out in front in terms of play-calling and plays....2 different things btw.
When he was at Delaware Valley, he ran a spread version of Spurrier's offense. Believe he ran the same when he was OC under Stockstill at Middle Tennessee State.
Do a little research and you’ll find that he has earned plenty of respect.
I got a hunch that a few people here qualify for this and I’ll go and amit I’m in the group : https://images.app.goo.gl/sk7FvKUetekSq6HKA
