does beg the question which UM retread they are going to bring back. not sure who I want them to get, but it would be someone no so big on the passing game so maybe some of the WR recruits would flip. flip side is that I like the pass happy one dimensional crap they have been running. doesn't work to well against a better defense.

This is a really bad thing....for Ole Miss. When their fans try to say they want him gone, it's all I can do to not legit laugh out loud in their face. High level self deception.

They're justified for wanting him gone. His offense was worthless against just average defenses despite having a decent QB and multiple future draft picks at wide receiver. Granted they're far from guaranteed of being able to get anyone better right now, but they probably can't do much worse if they're interested in anything beyond lighting up cupcakes.

They are hiring Dave Werner. No one with options is going to that **** show.

12th in the country in S&P, with a 5-7 team. Next question please, this is not worth arguing about. Not to mention he just got hired away to a better job.

Interesting that this got announced a week before the early signing day. They are off their game big time.

Whoever that will be, since the position is currently open. Ole Miss will name him as soon as Alabama hires him. **

We averaged 10.5 PPG against teams with above average defenses. (MSU, LSU, AU, AL.)

It's not self deception. Longo needed to go.

S&P, like any computer model, can sometimes produce GIGO. The fact is, they racked up a lot of yards and padded a lot of stats against inferior defenses. Take out the 4 OOC games and Arkansas (whose defense was as bad as theirs was), and they scored 7, 16, 16, 44, 24, 29, and 3 points. With a 1st round OL, 3 draft picks at receiver, and a pretty good QB, that's pretty poor performance.

You did worse against better defenses? Weird.

I'm happy as hell he left Ole Miss. He's a good OC and he'll prove it next year. You are blaming the wrong guy for your hopelessness.

if we aren't doing in-homes with Mingo and Jackson this week now that this has been announced, we are missing an opportunity.

No **** we did worse. The point is we weren't competitive. Big difference.

Situational football is what wins, not trying to score as fast as possible almost every time.

But perhaps you do know more about it...?

Just out of curiousity, who should they blame. Not trying to troll here, but if not the OC, who?

Ha I think Mack Brown is an idiot for making that hire. Super gimmicky offense with ******** get open plays. Their numbers on the year are super skewed by hanging 70+ on southern Illinois and UL Monroe. They were overrated AF.

My UM buddy thinks they'll recycle Warner. Which I think is an upgrade, but not much of one.

There aren't very many assistants I'd rather watch us beat the **** out of than Dan Werner.

What would be awesome is if Longo goes to NC and absolutely kills it. The meltdown would be delicious.
He's absolutely going to kill it. It's not really a matter of "if". He's now in a situation of hope and not desperation.

I mean, first of all, the guy has been a great OC for them. Second, people write off Diaz (the new Temple HEAD COACH) and Shoop because of a few years in a very bad situation. You'd think the idiots would learn by now but obviously they do not.

And yes, I'm saying anyone who thinks Phil Longo is not a good OC, is in fact, an idiot. Just so I'm clear.

He will absolutely kill it against the ****** defenses. And he is in the weaker division of the ACC. But he will always struggle against a decent defense.
