“ young coordinators with short but impressive track records is the way to go” - this, especially with an old proven head coach

Young coordinators can help keep an old HC fresh. They bring energy and ideas that old dudes need. Conversely, the old steady hand is there as a safety net when young coach struggles. You hear reports of the HC being more involved in offensive game planning, offensive design, adding new wrinkles, and sometimes even taking over play calling duties (almost always a terrible sign). It’s a good gamble for a guy like Whitt, whereas young HCs like Sherrone (ignoring the implosion) tend to need more established coordinators.

Were we sold a bill of goods on Beck?

Respectfully, Rich, is this personal somehow? Like do you know something about him that DOES suck?

His resume as a QB coach is very strong. As an OC it’s very short but promising. A lot of the offseason analysis had zero caution though*

What’s impressive is he had really good offenses—especially rushing offenses—for the last two years, and he’s only been an OC for three years (don’t know how things went at Syracuse in ‘23). So yeah, the rhino and all the side to side shit hasn’t worked so far, and it sounds like they’re adjusting.

The real question of course is Jason Beck the best OC Whitt could find or is he the best Mormon OC he could find?**

Beck has delivered a stunning turnaround and engineered the best year-to-year offensive improvement at Utah since at least 1996

What’s impressive is the results he got at UNM and Utah. I know it’s a cliche, but I think we’ll learn a lot today…

If Whitt likes him, that’s good enough for me right now.
