WR Chris Henry Jr. (Official Thread)

I never said it did.

The inflection point is upon us though. The WR recruiting and development is going to take a step backward. It has to. Hartline was the best and no one else was al that close.

Day's offensive success (not other peoples and not what is possible...Day's formula) is built on an NFL passing system throwing to NFL WR's against college defenses.

Now his biggest advantage just got blunted (no matter what Henry does).
College football is about adapting to and then overcoming the changing environment.

Given the changes and adaptation this program has gone through in the past 370ish days, I'm relatively optimistic that the impact won't be as severe as it could be.

I think the blunted part is TBD. None of us have a clue who is out there that might have interest in the job. Obviously, Hartline is 1 of 1, so we will have at least a temporary dip. There could be an NFL guy or up and coming young coach who might kill it.

After Day hired Patricia, I have full faith in his ability to reload his coaching staff.

We don't and won't have mediocre WRs though. And Day is starting to show he can adapt as a coach. He doesn't rely solely off elite WRs. Even this year before Tate and Smith got hurt, they had a much higher TE usage rate than in the past. No one is downplaying CHJ's talent, but the future of our offense hardly hinges on him

Chip Kelly (OC Northwestern)

I want Chip back.

Hopefully Chip has stopped having dreams of returning to the NFL and is done with the stress of being college HC.

Day obviously trusts Chip. And with all of his experience, Day can delegate some of his responsibilities to him and avoid stress and burnout, thus extending his career.

Has any NCAA program had two former NFL head coaches as coordinators at the same time?
Bama under Saban would be my first guess

Probably worth a discussion outside the kids thread.

Days offense is built around 1) WR mismatch + 2) NFL scheme and reads. His QB's constantly find open WR's which allows 3) run game and formation to be lethal because of the WR driven pass game.

He wins per play because his WR's destroy matchups, shred coverage shells and make defenses predictable.

You can win with mediocre WR's but that is not how Day tries to win.
