Manny is a first time head coach is completely unproven, and the same for Enos as an OC st a MAJOR program. This isn’t running an offense at either podunk CMU where the opposition is some directional Michigan school or a 7 win MAC team, and this isn’t Bama where every guy is a 5 star blue chip athlete and the HC is the GOAT.
You’ve got to be able to come in here and develop and innovate and move the coaching needle.
You get what you pay for. So many people kept saying all-offseason that Blake “identified his guy early and made his decision with conviction.” Right. He decided to invest in an unproven commodity HOPING that he could maintain the defense at a high level and hire a rock solid proven OC. Well, the defense has looked passive, slow, and confused, and the offense can’t hang more than 25 a game.
We’re all HOPING that the ceiling for Manny and Enos is high, but games like last night against a C+/B- team do nothing but confirm reasonable people’s both suspicion about that, and doubts about the way Blake handled the coaching search over a turkey sandwich while playing with his Legos.
