Lambert is burning the candle at both ends, and heās about to run out of wax. This is why you donāt date in the workplace (LOL Charlotte AD), and you donāt have your friends work under you.
Playcalling is a major issue, but the system is the real issue, and that isnāt changing. Hopefully Coach Adkins makes me eat my words, and if he does, I hope that every coach we have and the football account comes back and bashes me on twitter after I bashed them all weekend.
Iāve always said we needed a quarterback coach, but just arenāt confident in Mullens to do this job. I donāt expect to see advancement in Klughās footwork, reads, and anticipation, because I donāt believe Mullens is a capable teacher of these things.

That doesnāt happen often. Iād imagine if we had someone else to cover the roll, we would have.

I agree. I think this is just a holding spot for Mullens until he probably resigns after the season. I was just making a point that I was hoping they would have noticed the lack of QB development from past seasons, and tried to fill that spot with someone else qualified during a previous offseason. Plus get someone in that can help develop plays that create mismatches and gets guys open schematically if we arenāt capable of doing it through talent at the moment (hopefully former QB that can serve as QB coach/pass offense coordinator).

Mullen has actually always been our QB coach since he was hired. Our QBs seem to get worse so this isnāt going to be a huge change.
Our scheme is still going to be a 6 play RPO spread. Nothing will change until the offseason when a new scheme (hopefully pro style, triple option, or air raid) can be installed. I hate run heavy RPO spread offenses like what we and Auburn run.

The move is kind of expected if you listened to the post game when Lambert kept repeating something to the effect of āwe are not putting the players in positions to succeed and maybe we are asking too much out of Klughā. He made a move and we will see if this new guy calling the plays can make thing simpler for the offense.
Donāt know how this demotion to QB coach and no longer being the play caller is going to work for Mullens. You got a disgruntle employee still hanging aroundā¦ I donāt see this ending well. Should of just pulled the band-aid off and fire the guy.
Not sure how to make the play calling simpler when the number of different plays we run are so small. We might as well line up like Army and run the ball 95% of the time in the I formation. 3.5 yards per carry average should keep us marching. At least it will allow the defense to rest or shortens the game so the opponent doesnāt have a chance to run up the score on us.
At least they made a move to try and change. I wanted heads to roll and people to get fired, but this shows at least they are trying.
Hopefully it works out for the best we have nothing to lose.
Funny you bring that up. Joe Thompson (heās still on the roster, right?) ran a slightly modernized version of this offense (the Wing-T) as a qb in high school.
I think the coaching move was their way of saying āwe hear youā. There is not much you can do mid-season, and this probably will not help, but it has been effective in sending a message.
