Beamer on BoBo
- Thread starter fowl_mood
- Start date
Most teams that are good and get leads run the ball more. I wonder what OU run pass ratio is just in first half before they get huge leadHe's right. They ran it more than they threw it. Plays - Pass/Run: 337/379
In contrast, Miss St/Leach.....Pass/Run: 527/174

First good news to come out after the Muschamp firing.
On the other hand - yeah, right!
Bobo’s parents live next door to Saban’s lake house. He’s probably trying to line up a house sitter.
Too many folks get hung up on the timing of announcements. Have you considered that Beamer may have pitched the offer and said "think about it a bit and let me know if you're truly interested". You can also be assured that he reached out and at least informally interviewed other potential candidates. Kinda like buying a car. You don't go directly to the nearest dealer and buy the flagship truck sitting out front without doing research and trying to find the right deal. I'm sure he also spent time discussing it with peers, etc to reaffirm and solidify his decision. Not to mention contract negotiation, agents, etc. There's a process, not a simple transaction.
Not necessarily. Get the experienced guy in to get the game started and give him a chance, and not put a ton of pressure / nerves on Doty by naming him starter.
How can Bobo be mentioned as a serious contender to be Saban’s OC when he is complete garbage? (*according to some of you on here*)
Can I just state, for the record, that "new" is not always "better". Bobo is an offensive guru and I'm excited to see what kind of offense these guys can produce by adding some of the concepts from Riley's offense. Just because we didn't the exact offense that Ok did this year does not mean we can or will not. It's about adapting to the strengths on the roster. Offenses change year to year.
The offer? The offer of keeping the job you're currently contracted for?
This might be the ultimate pretzel logic.
Steve Spurrier transformed his running game and look what it did to his offense.
Luke Doty is likely the 1st DT QB Mike Bobo has ever coached.
Look at their drives at the beginning of games this year - it’s pretty balanced
Oh shit, excuse me haha. I should have ran that by you first I see 👀
And it was posted by an insider on the big spur... ease up off my nuts.
That doesn’t make him a serious candidate. I can say Andy Reid is a candidate for the job but that doesn’t make it true.
I’d like to think a few people over at TBS in particular are a lot more keen on the action in coaching circles than yourself. No offense, but I’m sure you understand how credibility works, right? Lol not trying to be a smart ads, but I know it sounds that way when read back. I also understand that some people like to print stuff to get a reaction.
Yes but “insiders” are often fast to come up with a list and it doesn’t mean anything in terms of reality of the search. They just grab five names and say these are guys who could be under consideration. It also benefits them to make the guy on their team sound like he’s being pursued. I’m sure they have a nice bio on Bobo about his success at Georgia and the HC experience but none of that means anyone in Alabama is interested in any shape, form or fashion.
I don’t doubt some of what you’ve said as I would tend to agree. Doesn’t change the fact that it is being reported by a noteworthy source close to the program. I’m also not a Bobo hater, unlike some, so it’s easy for me to believe he is sought after.
I believe Beamer on his belief in and thoughts on Bobo especially after reading this article. He probably already knew he wanted Bobo before his interview with Carolina. Beamer is not someone unsure of his decisions. Muschamp’s biggest drawback, and his downfall at UF and Carolina, was his insecurity in his offensive staff.
This wasn’t first time a Beamer tried to hire Bobo. Mutual admiration began years ago

Go ahead and tell me how bad my thoughts are... Lol.

They’re really not. Remember how JC Schurburt was certain Muschamp was exactly what would fix USC football.
Lol I actually do. He is still in the loop on coaching searches more so than we. Him being wrong about Muschamp doesn’t change that. The two subjects at hand aren’t quite related.
What Beamer said was there were similarities between Bobo’s offense and OU’s offense. And our offense next year will be a combination of Bobo’s offense mixed in with some cutting edge stuff OU uses.
What Bobo did at UGA doesn’t necessarily apply to today, because he was running an offense that Richt wanted. He opened things up a bit more at CSU, but just didn’t have the talent. Then he came here, and our best WR wouldn’t have started for any of our opponents except possibility Vanderbilt. The rest of our WR’s couldn’t catch the clap in a whorehouse, so we had our first 1000 yard rusher in quite a while.
He’s shown he can adapt to what he has to work with, but we need to either coach up our WR’s or get more from the portal if we’re going to have a semblance of a passing attack.
I think we need to give him a fighting chance before shooting him down.
So, at first the armchair experts here swore there was no way Bobo could run anything remotely close to an OU style offense.
Beamer debunked that, pointing out that OU ran the ball a lot more than people thought, and there were similarities between Bobo’s offense and OU’s. Of course the armchair experts didn’t believe it, because they think Bobo and Beamer are both clueless. And there was no way OU ran the ball a lot, until someone posted the stats showing it.
Now that we know OU runs a pretty balanced offense leaning a tad heavier on the running game we’re nitpicking first half stats versus second half?
Not nick picking. Curious. We all know we are not going to resemble OU anytime soon
it’s the fgf way. People just make up shit and post it like it’s fact. That poster is the prototypical troll.
Says who?
You?
Beamer has already said we’re merging parts of Bobo’s offense with parts of OU’s offense, and he’s already commented on how similar both offensive strategies are.
Now true, we need more athletes to match OU’s production. But scheme wise, they’re intending for it to be similar.
Yes says me. We need skill players. Will take time but transfer portal will help
Sad, but maybe true. This likely means we're going to keep our rotating door at OC.
Bobo's credibility is immediately called into serious question b/c of his promotion of Hill.

At least we'd be hiring a former head coach with a winning record in this case.
