So What Does Chico Bring To The Table?

10 minute highlight from WKU game.

I imagine there will be a ton of wrinkles involving Rodge in various roles. Should be good.

Yeah, I don't know the details of that game and I'm aware that it's not in chronological order, but assuming there was no injury-based reason, it's obvious multiple QBs were used.

Didn't Chico say Rodge is quicker (or maybe more elusive) than Grothe? Maybe he's just saying that, but I'd love for it to come true in a game.

Think he brings The Man to the table har har!!

Seriously, I think he brings a lot. This is his offense and I for one sn thrilled at what he will bring!

Only concern about that video was that we had about 55 points on the board early in the 4th quarter last year against WKU...

The difference here is that they didn't need 55 to win. They called off the dogs.

Uh, anyone catch the overall team speed of USF?

Uh, not really. Pretty tight through 3 quarters.

The Fake Lonnie Finch · August 30, 2010

Here's what he brings to the table:

(1) He's coached in Clemson-type games, Kansas State-type games and can react to them. His biggest game plan hasn't been a high school playoff game. So, he's planned against the biggest and best at this level for a long time.

(2) Tight ends who might actually be a threat to receive a pass. (Goodness gracious...was Darrell Dickey right about Draylen Ross being a tight end? The college coach we hired named Canales seems to think so. Oh, silly Todd Dodge & high school coaching staff...switching the poor kid around to the defensive line, then offensive line. You've got to recruit defensive linemen at this level, geniuses. You can't just flip a big body over there like in high school. Ding dongs. Thank goodness for coach Canales, yo.)

(3) U-backs, to get every available talent on the field...to either run, catch, or block. A weapon. This is the Charles Clay-type back I talked about last year. And, to my credit, suggested using Micah Mosley in said roll - which Coach Chico was doing until Mosley was injured. Oh...oh...oh...dat Fake Lonnie...he do knows something about them footballs. Boooyah!

(4) The quarterback under center on short down and distance and goal line plays. Hallelujah! We got a coach that recognizes we're not lining up against Grapevine and Saginaw! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haw!

(5) Grape nuts.

don't get me wrong...i think canales is a way better option than dodge, but i was concerned when i saw they only had 21 with 10 minutes left and up by 8.

Shoot, that's a tie game if they were playing Arkansas St. :unsure:

Well, we'll see. If he flops here, the argument will then be his shortcomings have been masked by coaching at schools with tough defenses who bailed out his failing offense (Arizona/Mike and Mark Stoops, South Florida/Jim Leavitt).

Unfortunately, as much as I love DeLoach, Canales will need his offense to produce in order to be successful here.

I've sold out for him. So, I'll take my lumps as much as the people who sold out for Dodge three years ago thinking his high school offense and coaches would succeed.

One thing is for sure, though: Someone will be right, and someone will be wrong. And, we, the Mean Green fans, will suffer or celebrate at the end of it all. But, hey...that's life in the big city.

Flip a coin.
