Urban Meyer does not call his offensive plays. The new UNLV Head Coach Mike Sanford was the offensive coordinator and he said on TV here when he accepted the UNLV Coaching job that it was his offense and he called the plays. He has promised to bring that same style of offense to UNLV.rtrcam said:
No problem Earle. I have followed Utah and Mike Sanford out here pretty closely. When he did his interview he wasn't shy about saying that the Utah offense was his and he called the plays. If you look at the Utah record the two years he was there it speaks volumes for who's offense it was.TIDE-HSV said:
You are right about one thing for sure. It is an ABSOLUTELY!!! positive thing for Bama that Mike Sanford is going to UNLV and not to Florida with Coach Meyer.Crimson Hawk said:
I like you optimistic outlook.
I'd like to know this too. The only thing I can think of that would be a disadvantage to a head coach calling the plays is that maybe it would keep him from concentrating on everything else that is happening on the field, but I'm just guessing here. I really have no problem with Coach Shula calling the plays. Sometimes I wish he would stop running Kenneth Darby up the middle time after time when it isn't working, but for the most part I think he does a good job.ihatefulmer said:
Sometimes, the object of calling a play (or a series of plays) is not designed to do anything more than set up the defense for a play-action pass. If Darby breaks free and scampers out for 10 or 15 yards, all the better. But even if he doesn't, having the defense see the same play called out of the same set for about the 12th time makes them think that the same thing is coming on the 13th, when the actual play called on the 13th attempt is a pass play to DJ or Keith, who just happen to be running a post route against man coverage.Texas Tider said:
