You are wrong! Let me tell you why.
Coach Jones has realized that there is only so much that he can do. He knows that in order for our offense to get any better than what it has been, he has to have someone that can dedicate his time totally to building a better offensive unit. He has to oversee both sides of the ball and doesn't have the time to take care of JUST the offense during games. Jones will have his say so, but he will have someone that he can depend on and has a histrory of building better athletes on that side of the ball.
We had too many delay of game penalties and time outs taken because he was trying to prepare the offense. Had he really had someone that he was confident in to run the offense as he does his defense. He would be in a better situation to make important calls. He could be just like Bobby Bowden. You never see Bowden put on a headset unless his OC can't get the calls right and they are losing. When he does, you best believe that the OC's arse is in jeopardy come Sunday Morning, if not that very night.
We are going to build a better team and it will have the very best OC that we can afford. Not, someone's family member that we won't be able to give the axe like some school that we all know. This goes for every position. If they can do it right, we don't need them. We are paying good money for a qualty product and we won't settle for B.S. Comprende?
I actually like Orlando because his offense was the perfect compliment to the SU defense. They weren't explosive, but they moved the ball, chewed up clock and didn't kill themselves with turnovers. I don't know what happened at TSU, but his years at Southern overshadow that 1 bad year at TSU. If Bell was to hire an offensive coach, it would be to support the guys we already have on staff; he wouldnt come in to overhaul the entire offense. He should look into guys like Bill Schoolfield, James Reese or Mark Orlando as well as others. Schoolfield would come cheap.
