Whoever the OC ends up being, I hope Rhoads basically hands them the offense and keeps his hands off for the most part.
There were rumblings on this site during the season that Mess wanted to take more shots down the field, but Rhoads was against it. Who knows if this is true, but if it is, then it says a LOT about our struggles. Rhoads knows defense. If it was Rhoads that was behind our offense being so conservative, then he has to keep out of it IMO, and let an expert handle the offense.
At this point, I'm almost hoping it is Coach K. and we just go completely with the Pistol. I just want our offense to have some kind of identity. This year it was a complete mess of about 3 different offensive philosophies all mixed together. We ran some of what Mess likes to do, some of what Klenakis likes to do (Pistol), and some of of Sturdy likes to do as well. And who knows how much influence Rhoads might have had too. It was a joke.
If we hand it over to Klenakis, just let him go all out full Pistol and see what happens IMO. My worry is we keep Klenakis as OL coach, hire some other OC, and then we end up running some of what the new OC wants, some of what Klenakis wants, etc. I just want everyone on the same page.
Rhoads is very hands off with the offense so the rumblings here are false.
From everything I've heard, the chances are slim it will be coach K, but I wouldn't be mad about it if he was announced as the OC.
