"Our offense is very quarterback friendly," Enos said. "The more a guy can understand what you're doing, the more freedom and the more flexibility he has within the offense to take advantage of certain things.

Best Quote of the Article IMO

[Wildhog]

Great read.  I'm just glad to have a QB coach that:

1. Actually played the position, so he's been there/done that.
2. HAS COACHED THE POSITION BEFORE.  Chaney's first year to ever coach QB's was 2012.  He was a long-time OL/TE coach.

[younghog]

I feel ya WildHOG..

Also saw via today ARDEMGAZ an article on Singleton where Enos is having the QB go through fumble drills..

--begin

First-year offensive coordinator Dan Enos was so taken by Singleton's techniques that he's emphasized them to the quarterbacks and receivers in addition to the backs.

"Obviously you're really good at what you decide to emphasize and we've decided to emphasize, from Coach Bielema permeating all the way down through the rest of us, we're going to be as good [in ball security] as we can be."

--

IT ALL LEADS TO GREATER success for the entire team..

I also enjoyed the quote about how talking to brandon was like talking to a coach. Honestly if ba doesn't improve enough to get a shot at the league I wouldn't be too against him being given a GA assistant job

I got in trouble(kicked off for three months) just a while back for wanting a Enos... Well as Jerry Reid said "when you right you right son"

I'm going to highly doubt that you got kicked off for three months for "wanting a Enos".

That and a few other things I was right about but the point is that most of the power brokers on Hogville we're giving people fits for wanting a change.  That's common stuff.

[Wildhog]

Everybody was totally cool with me hating Chaney...

I've never seen having a differing opinion get someone banned.  And this comes from someone that's had that treatment more than once, and had permanent bans and been graciously allowed to come back after promising to keep myself out of the gutter.  I'm just saying opinions don't get you banned, presentation does. From experience.

You got a lot of pushback about Chaney, including from me.  But you never got canned for it because you were fairly gracious about how you presented it.  I think what gets folks banned is that they come out with what they know is an unpopular opinion, and then they kick and scream and lash out when they get some pushback.  Lots of times, they may be correct, like you were.  Folks are better off just having a good attitude about the pushback, like you did.  Now you're pickin in high cotton, and didn't have to sit out a few months to get your point across.

I learned a long time ago that if you're going to dish it out, you'd better be willing to take it, too.

It's pretty easy to click on my name and the click on Show Post, try to find what you suspect is there.  You can easily find my thoughts on the QB position and the coach of that position.

[Hoggish1]

I'd like to see BA get that great year finally under his belt.  Most thought he would be a great QB, but two OCs before getting Chaney, who's O scheme was purported to take three years before it was fully digested (total BS IMO), have put BA behind for three long years.

I think Enos is just the guy to help BA reach his potential.

[rzrbk4life]

Great read. Excited to see what the offense can do with Enos at the helm this year. WPS

But but but....Drew Brees!!!

[BigPapaHawg]

I'm looking forward to seeing this offense this season! Should be exciting!!!!

[Soooie21]

3000 yds.. 30 td's..to go along with 2 1000 yd runners.....doable..

[Boardon Hamsay]

Good read. I'm looking forward to seeing what Enos can do with our QBs. I'd like to see us have more balance with our passing game and call plays that set BA up for success via getting into a rhythm. It seemed like Chaney called pass plays that immediately went over the top as opposed to coming out and establishing some higher percentage, poise/confidence building throws. Maybe that's my sometimes selective memory though. Either way, I look forward to seeing our guys this fall.

[JT_Dav]

3000 yds.. 30 td's..to go along with 2 1000 yd runners.....doable..

A season like that puts us up there as a top 10 team.  I'm for it.

[MissippHog]

3000 yds.. 30 td's..to go along with 2 1000 yd runners.....doable..

If we hit those numbers......better watch out!

[Sportster365]

Good read. Thanks for the post. I found it quite refreshing. Ostendorf didn't sway from the truth any and provided solid stats and information that could suggest growth at the position.

"Every team needs a quarterback. It doesn't matter how good your running backs are or how big your offensive line is. Every team needs a quarterback."

"The Razorbacks are the only team in the SEC that can boast a pair of returning 1,000-yard rushers in Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins. They have an offensive line that averages 320 pounds per player. And yet, the critical piece, the piece that can make or break the season, is quarterback Brandon Allen."

This team is built to go where the QB takes them. It's as obvious as the sky is blue and yet many on this board fail to acknowledge that and begin with the excuses of how every other position needs to step it up.

The last scrimmage did show shades of improvement from the position that I hadn't seen from our starter since he's been the starter. Throwing over 10 passes while completing over 70% of them. 17/22 with over 200+yds are good numbers and expected numbers for a 2 year starting 5th year Senior playing a scrimmage in a green jersey. I don't recall ever hearing of him producing such numbers and imo its a credit to Dan Enos. With Enos it looks like we will be able to place the ball in BAs hands in the 4th and pull out some Ws this year. Although there's only so much a coach can do for a player. He can't provide that IT factor... you're either born with it or have learned how to develop it. I'm still in the boat that thinks Austin has just enough resolve to complete those third and critical passes, that sometimes seem to appear a little too weighty for our current starter.

The first one since Joe Fergson left.

Cheers! 

When was your "oh crud, Chaney isn't going to work out for us" moment? Mine was the A&M game.

To his credit, I think Chaney is knowledgeable of the game but doesn't know how to work it out once he gets in a rut.

These young ones don't remember Joe as our QB and as our QB Coach early on for Nutt.

Totally agree.  you don't want an old OLM to coach the QB positions.  My thoughts also.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

There are different things, absolutely, but he's doing very well with it. The installs are going not fast and not slow, somewhere in the middle, but for Brandon, I can speed the installation up even quicker because he gets it and he gets it very, very quickly."
...
"There's a good and bad with that," Enos said. "The good is he's run a lot of different things. He's got the ability to say, 'Oh yeah, we ran something like that similar with Coach Petrino and he called it this.' It's almost like talking to a coach that you came on staff with."

BA is the guy I want runnin' The Hogs...and CDE is preparing the backups.

" GO HOGS "

[The NewEra]

If we hit those numbers......better watch out!

The difference between us being a good and a very good team are, and were last year, the ability to put points up consistently.  And that really goes for the second half of games.  It seemed anything after the original script was a challenge for us.

I'm ecstatic with Enos and what he brings to the program.  Watch out for these Hogs if we have an offense that is dangerous.

If he's as good as I think he is then just think of what he can do with the three quarterbacks behind Brandon.

[DeltaBoy]

I am expecting a great year by the Hogs this Fall.

"Now every time I'd rice them dice I'd win,
And I was just gettin' ready to roll 'em again
When I turned around,
And there was a big ole cop

He said 'Hello boys'
Then he gave us a grin and said
'Looks like I'm gonna have to haul ya'll in
And keep all that money for evidence'

And I said 'well, when you're hot, you're hot'

Most in Fayetteville celebrated the day Chaney departed the program. Most Hog fans were very happy

i cant believe any offense is so complicated that it takes three years to get installed..  if so, you have player turnover going on each year so what is that going to accomplish?
