You don't need talent to mix up play calling. Throw a slant, screen, comeback, play action. It's run off tackle and 50/50 bombs. You have to at least try man. No excuses for lack of creativity there. Needs to get the ball in play makers hands. Needs to use Chandler in pass game more and Jennings
I agree that Friend has been impressive as well. A guy like Hugh Freeze could be a real shot in the arm.Helto. Is not good but Friend and his OL are not making his job any easier. I'd say Pruit wont make a move this off season because you dont want to lose continuancy but if they suck again next year he will have to in order to save his own job.
I'm not calling for the guys head, but you also need stability with the right coaches in place. Stability doesn't guarantee success. Offense needs to mix it up regardless. Look at the difference UT made in 1 off season under Cutcliff return. Not to mention this guy is still practically learning on the job in the toughest conference. Look at the job Dooley is doing as an OC, in his first year on the job. Sure our o line sucks. The point is, you've got to try.These type of idiotic threads are going to be littered throughout VN. Its just sad that we have fans who just fail to understand how important stability is.

It's not stupid to be unpredictable. It's stupid/stubborn, or even insane to keep running power and throwing on obvious 3rd downs.

Apparently you missed our starting QB getting destroyed for the 850th time this year, I’m no doctor but, I’d imagine you can only take so many of thoseOn his willingness to replace Helton. Helton is a liability to Pruitt and this team. There hasn't been a more predictable OC here since Randy Sanders.
How many drops have the WRs had? They probably lead the SEC. our WRs lack speed. They are tough and can jump but thats about it. Are they great route runners? No. Look at Missouris WRs. Would you say the same about them? Nope. The fact that you and others are going to have to come to accept is, until we field a competent OL, we are going to struggle.
The OL has played well in 2 games this year. Against Auburn and UK. Guess what? We won and the offense and play calling were fine.
Another post I agree with 100%Your take is no different than saying Pruitt should be gone after seeing his first 11 games as a head coach.
A head coach, just like coordinators, are playing with other players they didn’t recruit in their first year. To say Helton is a poor OC based on year 1 is pure stupidity and shows how little football you understand. Go play Madden some more. P
