RE: Kevin Johns gone!!
Does that mean Terry Malone gets the upgrade to playcaller, and someone else gains a co-OC title?

Just bring in someone who will incorporate a short passing game, including throwing to RB's in the flat. We missed that last season. Not sure if that was John's decision.

Quite the upgrade for a guy who didn't adjust anything at half-time, and couldn't overcome the opponent adjustments in real time. Good luck to him.

Incredible promotion for someone that didn't show much last season. Is he taking a page out of the Enos playbook?

I’d imagine his reputation is off his time at Indiana and people are using excuse of lack of weapons in passing game last year.

Let Bogan's mom playcall next year. We'll probably end up with a better record.

I dont know if Johns or Lester made the decision to switch up the run game, but whoever did made a big mistake. Should of stayed with the inside zone both ways as the bread and butter.

RE: Kevin Johns gone!!
I don't think he can really be evaluated, the one change I did like was a little more variation to playcalls. So, is Moreland going to be the new OC, or Malone? Is Malone a little older and not wanting to be that involved, rather being a mention to Moreland, who I don't think has ever run an offense?

I just hope we keep the basic offense intact, the continuity is a big plus in terms of experience and recruiting. Our defense was hurting at the end of Cubit's run because we kept having to use new systems, even using that daffy 3-3-5 because we couldn't field enough beef.

I guess Malone is not that old, and he really does have ideal experience there, having been an OC in the MAC, Big 10, and an NFL position coach.

Johns took some heat but fair to him having a 18 year old QB who was 3rd string likely redshirt in spring ball was a hurdle few D1 teams could overcome.

RE: Kevin Johns gone!!
I seem to be in the minority. This is a big loss in my opinion. I think Johns knows his stuff. We just didn't get to see it due to the construction of our roster. Yes, the play calling was frustrating at times. But when your imbalanced, you try things when you normally wouldn't do so. I know that in the moment I complained along with a lot of you, but looking at this objectively, I have a feeling had he stayed this year, our offense would be plenty potent, especially if Wassink is healthy.

looking forward to the change. The lack of QB development and game plan adjustments was almost unbearable IMO. I get it, a lot of productivity was lost, but I just didn't see/feel growth from week to week.

I didn't see growth from half to half... the CMU game was an abomination after half... couldn't do anything to account for the CMU defensive adjustments... I personally wasn't impressed... Especially with the OL we had and the RB game we returned...

Will be interesting to see who replaces him...

With a rookie QB making his first start in the rain - what did you expect?

His halftime-2nd Half adjustments seemed to work pretty well vs. Idaho when we still had Wassink.

Agreed, too many expected miracles. How many passes were dropped by young receivers this year? If we had the 2017 QBs with Davis & company as WR's good chance we struggle to win ten games. You can't replace experience at that position with a FR and Soph-R who hadn't taken a snap. Terrell played what? 52-53 games?
