You can't let it worry you, but Nick is the type of kid I hope we can keep after firing Hawkins.

He did say "Hawkins and Kiesau leave". I'm starting to get on board with the idea of EK sticking around regardless of what we do with the HC (subject to change if the game plans regress again). Not only does he seem to be improving steadily as an OC, but it could be very helpful in keeping some of these recruits.

I really doubt Kiesau would remain on the staff. If he did, he'd have to take a demotion. You can't ask the new coach to accept Eric as OC if he took the job.
You can if it's someone like McElwain or Calhoun who are actually OC's by trade. Just like Helfrich has done great under Chip Kelly at Oregon, Kiesau would thrive under an ex-OC in the head coach job.
I agree it would be hard to make it work under someone like Mac.
He's under contract for next year. He has been our best recruiter. Hansen seems to be progressing very well. And our offense looked pretty good the past 6 quarters. No matter what happens with Hawkins, I won't be surprised to see Kiesau stay in his job.

no thanks. I really like Sherry and Berglund, but we can't keep coaches around because they have a couple of commitments.
I actually think Kiesau does a decent job when Hawk doesn't get in his way. Watching the games this year it seems the more Hawkins is involved in the actual game management the less effective we are. When he lets Kiesau and the rest of the assistants do their jobs and gets out of the way we tend to run much smoother.
I think Kiesau should be the decision of the new HC but I wouldn't have a problem if he stays.

I'm not sure what to think of Kiseau. I didn't hate the offense in the Hawaii 2nd half and the Georgia game, but that Mizzou gameplan was terrible as ****.
Either way, this isn't the place to be calling for coaches heads anyway.

I hope Embo is right in his decision. If he's not, fans won't let him forget it.

He didn't leave the offer on the table for Sherry?

I'd like to think so, but I'm not sure. Nik?

Not a big surprise, but not thrilled about losing his commit either. I like having QB depth in the underclassmen so they best can emerge as the future starter.
With Hirschman and Berglund we could be OK, but it looks like Embree likes that Texas kid (Conner Preston) too. I wish they would go after a JUCO to bridge the "class gap" however.

Maybe Embree is wanting a JUCO to go with Berglund and then going all in on Miles or some other top QB next year. Or he's going the mobile QBs only route.
thats the rumor from the site you think I spend to much time at.
At this point, I just want to say that I appreciate that Nick committed to the Buffs and stuck with us through Hawkins being terminated. Since he hasn't gotten the attention that Berglund did from the new staff, he is seeing the writing on the wall and opening up his commitment. It's extremely unlikely that Nick would end up signing with the Buffs. I'll definitely be cheering for him whenever he's not facing the Buffs in his career. Really solid kid.

No offense to Sherry but I like Berglund better. We have to give Embree his room to pick his players, especially in a short class.

Mechanics, vision and arm speed.
I've evaluated the videos from both. Sherry is a better arm. Impressive. He seems to have better vision and scans the field. Just saying if we can have some competition at QB for a change, it would be a good thing. At least they aren't 5' foot 11" midgets. Drew Brees is an anomaly. I think Hansen will be pushed this year.
