Offensive Improvement

So Mullen coached up one WR enough to make the NFL in 9 years? That's exactly the kind of improvement I hope we get from jomo**
It's a travesty in this day & age of college football that we haven't put a WR in the NFL in who knows how long. Thomas is a TE... I don't care how Mullen used him.

Regardless of how many receivers we have starting in the nfl. We have over 20 guys on nfl rosters as of this year. That number is unprecedented for the players he put into the league. He may have not had nfl receivers but he has had several running backs and lineman make it in the league. He ran the spread option run not a pass happy offense and was successful with it. He developed one of the best qbs to ever play for the maroon and white. You know the one starting for the cowboys right now. We had offensive production like we have never seen and development like we have never seen on offense, but yeah ***** about the damn receivers. Got news for ya. From what I’ve seen of Moorhead so far, he won’t have a receiver, running back, or qb playing in the nfl from his stint at MSU. We have some talent there but looks like he doesn’t know how to use it or develop it.
Not to side one way or the other on Moorhead as I haven’t made up my mind while pissed off still, but let’s not act like 20 players in the NFL is some great testament to Mullen’s coaching. Of those 20 only 18 were on active 53 man rosters. Of those 18, 11 are defensive players. Additionally 2 of them are special teams only. So he has 5 offensive players in the NFL.
I’m pretty sure that is Dak, Jordan Thomas, Martinas Rankin, Blaine Clausell, And Gabe Jackson.

That makes zero sense. No logical link at all. Congratulations, that's about as far of a reach as can be made.
And it will be a good thing for MSU.
It's not the top line talent that we missed this year, it's the holes in our roster.
Please go back to making a Braves thread every 3.5 minutes.
You seem mad. I state a fact and you cry like a beech. Sorry facts bother you
You are making both boards unreadable with your dribble. Go somewhere and find a new team. Jesus, I havent logged in for 2 years or more and your constant bitching/whining "3 wins tops!" crap has gotten so old in less that 48 hours that I had to dust off the login. You state facts, others do too. You dont agree, they dont agree with you... but stop ruining every damn thread on two different boards. ****.
Post a link where I said 3 wins tops. You can't... I've never said that, so stop misquoting me
ETA... if the mods wanna ban me, fine. Until then though, I'll post what I want.

It is not a mystery why Dan left, and your false dichotomy leaves out the obvious: He wants a shot at winning a championship and he didn't think he could do that at State.
Oh, he also wanted more money, even though you don't think that was the reason.
Don't blame State fans, boosters, and/or administration for Mullen leaving. You're right that he has an ego, and he wants to be one of the top coaches in college football. To do that, he wants to be at a bigger school, with more money, and a better football pedigree. Don't try to claim we somehow drove him away.
Mullen is a solid coach, but he doesn't recruit particularly well, and his offense is limiting. He will do well at Florida, but he won't win any championships.

Army hung 1,000 points on Houston. Just sayin'. I was at the game and you guys that are defending Fitz are not seeing what I saw. Want to say it was in the 4th quarter and Fitz had Mitchell I believe wide open and all he had to do was float the ball down there. Nope-frozen rope and sailed over his head. Had he just closed his eyes and chunked a floater it's a TD. I saw another one sail 5 feet over Mitchell's head as well. And we're sitting in the stands screaming to run a quick pitch right down at the goal line and nope, didn't happen. I don't really understand if Fitz has to determine what to do in this offense, but if that is the case, it seems to me that he's got a big case of the Kelly Lee's (sports analogy for you young kids out there!). Iowa's defense was just keying on him. They couldn't stop us when we ran the option. We scored our 2nd TD I believe running a quick pitch right. It was there all day.
that is interesting. where are you pulling all of your stat's from. based on the eye test the only player that seemed to have good progress this year was Mitchell. he was barely used last year only a few catches in his redshirt freshmen year. All of the other guys at receiver seemed to disappear this year.
I saw your stats from this year that did improve, and you've posted some now that were really bad regressions. The eye test was not very good, and we seem to pad our stats against very bad teams. Against SEC we were worse minus ole miss and arkansas. The pre-snap seemed to be one of the worst parts of the offense this year.
Two guys with over 25 more combined years of experience coaching offense at the D1 level were better at coaching their players this year? Color me 17ing shocked.
2 TD's dropped from WR's breadbaskets in the endzone and this is a 2 letter grade swing in how we evaluate JoMo. Not defending, just being objective.
hmm, i thought we were supposed to be getting the guy to take us to the next level! yeah ok! not a greenhorn experiment that can't adapt to his players. I thought we were getting a savant that could take what his was given and make it great. that's what savants do. that's what offensive geniuses should do.
