Which of our prior offensive coordinators would you prefer?

[Scruff]

I stopped before I got to the Barney Cotton years. Tom Manning averages more points per game and yards per game than any coordinator in our recent history. He also averages marginally better than the year Campbell called the plays himself. All this whining about him would make me believe the opposite. For you haters, which of our prior coordinators are you taking instead? I post to remind everyone that the grass always appears to be greener with a different offensive coordinator, be careful what you wish for.

Mangino was the coordinator in 2015. Campbell's first season was 2016.

He's never coached here and never will. It would be awesome, though.

If this was family feud I would pass

Wow.... that's a bad list.

I'll go with Jay Jordan!!

Thanks, edited the excel. It made Manning and Mangino both look better.

Do we have to go with only 'modern era' guys?

 

[DeereClone]

Why do we have to pick from prior coordinators? That makes no sense as we would never hire any of them.

 

[LivntheCyLife]

He's never coached here and never will. It would be awesome, though.

After breaking his leg here in '88, he's probably not real anxious to come back.

 

[Cyforce]

I would of liked to see what Walden could of done with talent. He was basically his own OC.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I think Herman would do wonders as an offensive coordinator with this talent. He’s better than everyone on that list(other than Campbell)

 

[cyclone1209]

Part of reconciling this ongoing debate is us being honest. Manning isn't an awful coordinator. But we are surrounded in this league by some pretty brilliant offensive minds: Riley at OU, Gundy at OSU, I hate that i'm typing this Herman at TX, Baylor historically....... In the last 15 years in our league the offenses set a high bar.

Your stats indicate Manning is the best we've had in a long time. (one could argue our past coordinators never had a Purdy though)

I do wish coach Manning's in game adjustments were more like Heacock. We truly hit the jackpot in John Heacock.

 

[ISUTex]

Herman. Duh.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Steve Loney or Pete Hoener over almost anyone on that list.
