If you don't appreciate our coaching staff...

As the kickoff approached, I heard someone on the radio say they don't trust our QB, yet. But they do trust CJH. I think that is a good point. I think most of us missed the forest for the trees for this season. Hype is accountable for the whole team. His emphasis is QB and offense. In that focus, he has a stellar track record even with other program's 'cast offs'.

Agreed! Not to mention Tim Banks on the other side proving he can hold his own. Love his intensity! Well timed pressures, corners covering slants!!, getting head around playing the ball, multiple sacks and TFLs all against a respectable in fact pretty darn good offense. Heupel said in his introductory press conference 5 or so years ago his defenses will often be in the opponent’s backfield and he has made well on that promise.

That is where I'm at.... I think if we had this version of Heupel when we hired Butch, he would have a lot of 3-4 year guys at QB that he gets to spend multiple seasons with developing. Now the game at QB is basically free agency in the portal. I think Heupel has gone 3-3 with QB's he has started that didn't start their college careers here. I'd go 4-4 overall with Nico because in a little over a year's time of experience, he went 11-3.

Aguilar will be like Hooker in where we as fans will wish Heupel had 2-3 years with in a stable program. Yes, he had Hooker for 2 seasons, but was drinking water from a fire hose coming into first year trying to get the program back to bowl eligibility.

CJH's track record is in solid support of your claim about Hooker/Aguilar.
I think we have conditioned ourselves to give more weight to the players' talent and less to the coaches' scheme. For several decades our formula...even going back to Fulmer was about the best players and conservative play calling. I'm not saying we don't need talented players. I'm saying we aren't as "star dependent" on players (like QB) as we used to be.
