As far as BOB goes, I’m lukewarm. I can’t place exact games but my rough recollection is that he was at fault for some losses due to bad playcalling tendencies. I don’t know if that was Bama or Penn State or NFL days. Just my gut (open to being very wrong).
I’m also weary of anything from NE Patriots as most have been a disaster outside the Brady/Belichick umbrella - for a number of reasons (Brady skill, Belichick insane football knowledge, cheating?).
That said, I love the experience. An older mind is needed on the offensive side. I like that he has extensive knowledge in building a gameplan and calling a game based on a strategy and not whatever OSU has been doing (pick a random play out of a hat?).
I like that he’ll be an “eye in the sky” and the position coaches can worry about coaching their positions on the field. I like that he’ll have a lot of outside perspective - coaching under 2 of the best this sport has seen. Surely some of that rubs off across all players and coaches.
I’ll be interested in the film breakdown of his offense. I hope it fits modern college ball - RPO, mesh routes, tempo, spread the ball out, whatever every other creative offensive team is doing. Take advantage of the skill Day recruits.
If he wants to have a 2 year historic run and win some big games then bolt, then go for it. Day seems hell bent on getting the best in house and letting everything else fall in place.
