OC and his influence on the 2-Deep

[Lake City Hog]

How much influence will the OC have on our offensive 2-deep?
O'Line--I figure Pittman will decide on the O'Line pretty much on his own. BB might make some suggestions?

R'Backs-- Does Thomas make this call on his own or does BB "help" him? I'm sure that certain sets might be better suited to 1 RB over the other.

T'Ends-- Lunney or by formation?

Q'Backs-- OC all the way??

W'Receivers-- Smith or by formation or will the OC have a hand in setting the WR rotation?

Will the OC have a hand in choosing all of the starters on O, all skill players, all receivers+ QB's or just the QB? I hope that he has a major influence on who plays when on all of the "skill" positions. Since he is calling the plays on knows what to expect from the play I think he should have a great deal of input on the guys that have to execute the play.

Let me get this straight......We hire an OC to RUN the offense and you want to know if the money we pay him will be used for him to do something that is obviously within his job description.........................that is to coordinate the offense.

[Tim Harris]

I would say every assistant has influence on the 2 deep but ultimately Bielema has the final say.

I'd hate to think that a new offensive coordinator would come in and start meddling with the offense.

I'd like $550K to simply make a few suggestions and be a yes man.

the OC will have the say in running the offense and players . he knows who can and can't run his offense . He's not going to use players who can't run his plays

As it should be.

I'd hate to think that a new offensive coordinator would come in and start meddling with the offense.

And I'd hate to think someone would take a job, not review what's happened before, think there could be some things that should be different, talk it over with his boss and then not change things that they thought would make it better. That means that usually there is always some percentage of "meddling".

[tophawg19]

the offense will have his stamp on it. it's his job on the line if it doesn't work. he didn't leave a H/C job with most of his team returning to come here without being given a freedom to run the offense his way

ROFL Funniest thing I've read on here in a while.  Might want to put a /sarcasm tag on it tho...

[Lake City Hog]

trust, I'm simply asking if you think that he will have the ability to over-ride a position coach on who should be starting. Even someone as dumb as me knows that the OC co-ordinates the offense, but I do appreciate you pointing it out to me rather than actually contributing anything to the thread.

My point was that I thought that in more than a few situations during the season we might have had personnel better suited for the play on the sidelines. And, was that due to a position coach or the OC. But you go ahead and feel free to play Captain Obvious!

[Pork Twain]

This thread has a lot of wow in it.

Does any position coach have the ability to override the coordinator and would any HC allow it?  Talk about undermining a person's authority.  That being said, I am sure they will all sit down and discuss it and come to an agreement that puts our best players on the field and gives us the best chance to win.

I will be interested to see what our "base" offensive formation is this season under Enos.

For the 2013 season, it was 1 FB (Kiero Small), 2 WR (Keon Hatcher and Javontee Herndon), and 1 TE (Hunter Henry).

For the 2014 season, it was 0 FB, 2 WR (Keon Hatcher and Demetrius Wilson), and 2 TE (AJ Derby and Hunter Henry).

I thought it was fairly obvious.
