I am beside myself
So he runs an offense like Cam's????Look for Ronnie Brown to have a huge year if he is healthy. He likes to run a double TE offense and ram the ball right at you.
I'm telling you - I'm just sick about the hire.
That's a good point - and you're right - play calling IS a product of talent, but Dan Henning was just so dog determined to pound the ball on the ground up the middle . . . and DeShaun Foster and DeAngelo Williams aren't exactly what you would call "power backs".
The biggest gripe I heard about him is his inability to adjust. If the other team totally shut down our offense in the first half - nothing was done to adjust at half-time. The second half featured more of the same - up the middle, up the middle, up the middle. . . . we got so sick of that we could puke.
If fact, when Jeff Davidson was hired as OC last year, Davidson joked that the first play he called would NOT be a draw up the middle. . . .
I'm telling you - I'm just sick about the hire. My hope is that a change in scenery and personnel will change his play calling DRAMATICALLY! Maybe Parcells will have a say in that . . .
I think everybody these days gets caught up in hiring a "young guy" as if that automatically means the guy will have new and wizardlike ideas about moving the football.
Henning was a really good OC when the Jets beat us a bunch of times in a row with Parcells as head coach. They mashed us with Curtis Martin and hit a few big plays with Coles. I am excited that we will now have stability at the oc position. IMO.
What type of offense did Henning run in Carolina? I haven't watched them much.Probably Henning, because of his experience, but eventually I would think Jerald Ingram would...since Henning is 66 years old and probably one foot in retirement.
George DeLeone, the guy Miami hired as their TEs coach, has a background littered with experience as a running game coordinator.
Meanwhile it was widely rumored that Henning would be tutoring Karl Dorrell, who would eventually take over for him.
In this scenario Miami would have Henning as passing game coordinator, with play calling...and Karl Dorrell would be tutoring under him for that role. Jerald Ingram would be the running game coordinator, and would probably get play calling from Henning within a year or two. George DeLeone would be in line to take over as running game coordinator if Ingram ever left the team to become a full offensive coordinator, or if Miami decided to switch to a setup where Ingram is the full offensive coordinator and has passing and running coordinators underneath him (Dorrell and DeLeone).
That's what I would lean toward. If you have a division of responsibilities like that, your coaching staff might be more resilient when it comes to losing coaches to promotions.
well...i hope you guys like draw plays...
living in NC, i hated watching this guy constantly call up draw plays for the panthers. 3rd and 20? no problem...draw play!
