Honestly i hope we tank more games. I want a god damn coming of christ in the staffing room. Why we promoted internally as OREGON when we could have went and more than likely secured a veteran OC and DC is insane to me. NW got Chip Kelly, and you're telling me the best we could do was promote within?!
Now I'll give flowers to the defense and Chris Hampton, things to clean up. But they looked alive and the DL played their hearts out all game.
But Merhinger is a flop. He can't scheme, he can't make adjustments. We left Raiola in way too long and Brock Thomas came in and looked better by a damn runway
Our line has been so awful the past three years. And it feels it’s just getting worse. Constantly getting beat at the line over and over is always going to make your QB look awful because he’s having to hurry and try to get the ball out
Terry needs to be the first one tarmacked. His shitty coaching has been evident for years. The OC also needs to go but he is definitely being hamstringed by a useless OL.
Mehringer hasn't been great but I don't think today's game was on him. They even radically switched things up a few times and got productive on offense....until somebody other than Raiola turned the ball over.
Look at Ryan Day — he needed an OC and he got Chip Kelly and they won a national championship.
Then Chip goes to the Raiders and he promotes Brian Hartline who was an internal but has been in the OSU system for a lot of years and was Co-OC. Then he gets picked to be head coach at USF and Day goes and gets Arthur Smith who has just been OC for one of the greatest QBs of all time.
