This is 100% on Elko. He was handed a blank check last season to hire new coordinators but instead he hired from within and took a chance on 2 coaches that have never called plays before.

This season is gonna be ugly

tbf, we took a chance on a guy who has never been a head coach before.

Taking an up and comer oc from a multi playoff bid team as head coach vs making a 22 year position coach into a first time play caller.

I feel like Wiggins is more of a risk out of the two.

Honestly Wiggins isn’t the issue, it’s Hemphill. Our defense has been atrocious. You saw glimpses of it last week and Kentucky full exploited it this week.

Feels fitting that it was Lanning’s previous coordinator to land the strike on Elko with terrible hires

Funny in his post-presser he said something like “this is on coaching, playing, management etc” but then said he’s taking all the blame.

Nah man, you just blamed everyone including yourself.
