UNDBIZ Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Tom Miller predicting Luke Knauf as the new OL coach. Current Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach/Recruiting Coordinator at D-II Western New Mexico University. Played at UW from 2003-2006. Looks like a good one. LET'S GET THOSE HOGS ROLLING!

UND92,96 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Tom Miller tweeted that the Knauf hire is now official. Quote
kingranch Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Wow. Good luck coaching 30 year old vets Are you stupid? John Gruden, Mike Tomlin, look up how old they were in their first year as head coaches. Look up how old they were when they won Super Bowls, a bunch of their players were older than them. Quote

WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Were they coordinators in their 20's? Yes At the times of their first NFL coordinator jobs Gruden was 32 and Tomlin was 34. Quote
kingranch Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 He did not ask if nfl coordinators. He said coordinators!!! Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 At the times of their first NFL coordinator jobs Gruden was 32 and Tomlin was 34. Interesting......... Are you sure they weren't 22 and 24 respectively? Quote

bincitysioux Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 So it seems as though the staff is complete with the exception of a WR coach. Rumor is that Freund may get that spot which seems kind of a token hire. He doesn't have any WR experience at the coaching level. Too bad they don't seem to be giving the same thought to WR coach as they have to other positions. I also heard that the offense will be more conservative and stick to a pro style offense. Personally, I love the spread and what well coached teams can do from the spread. I just hope we don't become ultra conservative on the offensive side because it sounded like Bubba was anything but conservative on the defensive side of the ball. I hope Freund gets WR job. He is a former QB and has coached running backs and QBs. Seems it like it would be no more of a stretch than Schwenzfier coaching LBs. Regarding offensive philosophy, I agree that spreading it out and chuckingthepigskin is fun to watch, but to me the most exciting offense to watch is one made up of 7 minute drives with the majority of first downs coming on running plays. To me there is nothing more frustrating to a defense than a 10 yard run. I am a huge NE Patriots fan. They won 3 Super Bowls in 4 years by having an intelligent and efficient QB hand it off all day to a bruising RB that followed a methodical offensive line. When they started having Brady chuck it around 50 times a game, they haven't had the same results the last 7 or 8 years. Quote

WeAreNorthDakota Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 He did not ask if nfl coordinators. He said coordinators!!! Neither were coordinators before their first NFL coordinator jobs. Quote
geaux_sioux Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Good luck coaching 30 year old vets What's there to be wrong about? Do you honestly think that Santana Moss will have 0 issues having an offensive coordinator with less football experience than him? It will be interesting to see what happens when they disagree on a philosophy or play call. It shouldn't be an issue but there is tons of potential for an issue if things don't go swimmingly. Quote
kingranch Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 You are right, screw it no coordinators under 30 allowed in the nfl ever again, god for stupid, and you actually either believe what you are typing or are to bullheaded to see you are wrong. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 McVay isn't calling the plays. So he's the 'offensive coordinator'? Quote
iluvdebbies Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 So he's the 'offensive coordinator'? It wouldn't the first time the head coach was the play caller. Quote
