GVSU Offensive Coordinator???

[Thelakerman]

We have a returning senior QB. He's going to start. Ergo, we're going to be limited on offense.

Show your work...LOL...a few new wideouts, all those running backs, four QBs to pick from, the whole O line back basically and I think the new OC is gonna have a lot going forward...GVSU did lose some key guys on the defense...kicking game is good...punting needs some help. I guess we will see...

I mean...I think GV is going to be a year away no matter who the OC is. They're going to have their work cut out in 2020, regardless.

I'm not sure it would be in Mitchell's best interest to promote from within. His biggest problem is the system in place and you're not going to fix the system in place by promoting someone from within that system. He has reached the end of the line of the patience of many fans and I would imagine that if he wants to buy himself more time, it will be by way of a total refresh with an OC from the outside. An internal promotion just sends him down the road Mark Dantonio paved.

The Lakers lose one starter on offense this year...Paritee...with all that experience back what makes you think the offense will haves it work cut out in 2020? I suppose if they make a huge scheme change perhaps..are you talking team over all or offense. I thought this thread was about offense.

I'm talking about the offense only. We are going to be limited on offense no matter who the OC is.

I believe you are spot on. Word from some of the players is that a new OC will be an outside hire and yes one would hope that a coach that is still working would mean that their schemes must be pretty good. I dont think GVSU is in dire straights but Coach Mitchell is looking for a new OC to take them back to the Natty level that they expected to be at. Honestly GVSU was a few plays away from a perfect season as well as a few plays away from a 7-4 season as well. Hopefully a new OC will take advantage of all the returning talent and get GVSU back to the promise land.

I would like to think that if it were simply going to be an internal hire, we would have heard about it already. Perhaps the guys we were/are aiming to talk to were/are still playing? Definitely agree that this needs to be a systemic/schematic overhaul, and that a simple internal promotion won't facilitate that. I realize that a full overhaul is no small undertaking, but the evidence in support of it is more than overwhelming (IMO) at this point. A big change/shift is definitely in order.

I think it's a question of whether the AD or someone else above Mitchell decides to go over his head and demand an outside hire

Nah, it's in MM hands.

I have my doubts.

I hope you are right about a new person (an outsider) coming in with a new offensive scheme. This decision could make or break Matt Mitchell's career at GV.

Is Mitchell the kind that will give up complete play calling control to a new guy?
