Coach Dillingham new OC/QB coach Edit: Official now

While I have concerns about the hire, people are mistaking "runs power" in the Fishduck article with Mario's power running philosophy. The "runs power" just means using the "power" run plays, pulling lineman for a numerical advantage on the point of attack. Chip ran it as a change up to zone runs. That is the least of my concerns about this hire.

1. I hate Wildcat

2. Not impressed with his track record. 63rd in the country in ypp this year, WOOF. In 2019 auburn, he was in the 70's.

3. Would have really liked to see an experienced hire here. Mario was hiring guys that were former head coaches and we're scrapping guys that are Co-OC at the 63rd best offense? Yuck.

NOT a fan of this hire whatsoever.

1) He was not the primary playcaller, so nobody has any idea whether he would bring the wildcat over.

2) Not the primary playcaller.

3) It didn't happen at the time, but half of this board was eager to get Moorhead out. (which is silly, but alas) I think the youth will be a benefit in terms of having a guy that's more willing to adapt, as well as more energetic on the recruiting trail. Might it not pan out? Sure, but that's the risk with every hire. Who did you see them snagging at this point in the hiring cycle? I'm willing to give the guy a shot, given former guys that have been around programs with him sing his praises for being a good football mind, rather than judge him based on offenses that were primarily being run by the head coaches at his previous stops.

While I would normally be the first person to rip him for his lack of experience, and, putting it nicely, extremely pedestrian offenses in the past, I am going to trust Lanning on this. However it should also be noted, Florida State trusted him as well, and being an older guy if you look at their entire body of work, the Seminoles constantly crank out some of the best offenses in the nation, so if they trusted him, I will as well.

Ya not really excited about this hire but we can judge him this time next year.

I love how a 1st and Goal at the 1 yard line is being used as an example of reliance on the Wildcat.

From reading up on him and fsu this year. Most think our backups were better than the fsu starting OL, and the QBs had a bunch of injuries.
