And we all saw what happened with Sark and his play calling this past season. Without weapons, he's ordinary. When I think about the cards BOB was dealt I doubt Sark could have done any better.
But then we had somebody like Kiffin turning wildcat/backup RB Blake Sims into a 3500-yard passer.
Good OCs cater to their personnel strengths while mitigating their deficiencies.
The reason we have so many WRs trying to transfer is the precise reason many of us on here have observed all season: that BoB's simplistic route trees suck. There were little favorable matchups created.
We had a WEAPON at TE in Latu that was underutilized.
We had a returning Heisman winner that barely cracked 3,000 passing yards, over a 1,000 yard regression from this point in the season last year.
We didn't have a single 1,000 yard rusher, and nowhere CLOSE to a 1,000 yard receiver. Not one. Sure, we had Williams and Metchie last year. No one on the roster can come close to the game-breaking ability of that tandem.
But... You can't tell me that our WR corps was literally 100% worse this year.
You can't tell me we were THAT deficient at key skill positions this year.
BoB got fat and happy from an easy job with superior talent last year.
When he had to actually do a little coaching this year, he failed that test.
He did less with more.
