And unless the plan is to promote Langsdorf, a new QB coach, too. As has been pointed out, the OC is often the QB coach also. If we are lucky, we get a new OC, WR and QB coach all at once.

Well put in all. But I don't think this is entirely recruiting.
The question I have is about player development even more than recruiting. I watched the Utah DL just run through our OL, and I don't see any of their players (except one) as being NFL-caliber players, or even super-highly recruited. Even the one guy who will be a first rounder was just a HS basketball player with no other P-5 offers, except Utah, right? They took a flier on him, and clearly it paid off. We do that all that time, and sometimes it works out, but usually not.
So, how is it that Utah's OL and DL dominate us each and every year (almost)? I don't see that their recruiting has been ranked all that great, or that a bunch of guys from their lines end up being AA or even All-PAC12. I admit I don't pay very close attention to those numbers or awards, so maybe it's more glaring than I think it is.
After MM, we finally have an OL that has the right size, but then they can't seem to block anyone. Utah collapsed the pocket on every down with only 3-4 rushing. How does that happen? I'd love a detailed explanation if anyone has one.
Hell yeah if she dumps the boy friend!
I just got back from three hours of shoveling horse sh*t at my rescue gig so I hadn't seen the big news!
Poor guy - he seems so likable. But he just wasn't cutting it.

Washing machines are likable.
I get your point but I also have more sympathy for the defense. They played hard right to the last game when the offense was historically inept. An endless parade of 3 and out puts tremendous pressure on the defense.
If you were tired of horse **** why’d you come here?
You talking about Chev or did you have to put a horse down? I can't tell.
I assume the next OC will be hiring his preferred staff. There has to be more moves coming. Offense and defense. Right? This cannot be the only move.
So are the WR’s who were supposedly entering the portal because Chev was staying now in wait and see mode? I mean, we all had it on “good” authority that Chev was staying. How did we get it so wrong?

Talking about the coach. I think the horses could do a better job play-calling at this point, though...and they wouldn't constantly tweet

I know they can make glue out of horse hooves. Can they do that with a bunch of Nikes? Asking for a friend.Talking about the coach. I think the horses could do a better job play-calling at this point, though...and they wouldn't constantly tweet
The defense was atrocious. The only reason more people aren't calling for changes there is because the offense was historically awful. You're not going to fire both coordinators in the same year, especially after firing the DC just a year ago. That doesn't excuse the ineptitude on defense, it just shifts the focus away from it.
One change. Too bad it is not the head man but whatever. Change is change. Need to fix recruiting or the OCbis not going to matter
Don't disagree with you at all.
Would contend though that finding and getting those development players is also a product of effort and focus on recruiting.
Utah has some guys who were no highly rated but they also have multiple guys who were recruited by multiple P5 schools as well. Key is that they don't just have 5-6 guys on the OL and 5-6 on the DL that they "hope" turn out. They have a number of guys who don't turn out and develop but they can absorb it because they have the depth to work the percentages.
We have guys who develop as well but we don't have the depth to allow them to develop before forcing them in.
Purcell is a guy who I have always liked, hard worker with good technique. He is also a guy who was forced to play very early simply because we had nobody else. His technique was good enough but he regularly would be in position, set up correctly, and get run over because he didn't have the physical maturity. Yes he weighed 300lbs but to much of that was puppy fat.
If he were at Utah he would have had someone in front of him for at least a couple years.
By when?
Good points.
Depth has been a huge problem here for a long time. At least, we seem to be getting bigger guys in general; but I agree, it takes a couple years to transition the baby fat to man-strength.
We’ve had a bit better luck with good DL, but again, horribly thin depth.
This all takes some years to fix.
Because it would seem that players were openly lied to about him staying which is very odd considering they were told this 3 days ago only to see him be let go right afterI assume the next OC will be hiring his preferred staff. There has to be more moves coming. Offense and defense. Right? This cannot be the only move.

Or you’re hearing someone tell you something they heard through other players or GAs/QCs and not directly.
This has been fairly obviously happening for a while and other notes from 247 suggest there was never a chance he was being retained

this is the plaid suit of allbuffs posts
Pearl Jam is iconic
appreciate Chev’s dedication to the Buffs, cautiously optimistic we can bring in the right next hire

That’s certainly possible, I just find it hard to believe that player to player via text, while I was with the player getting the text, would be a story that was completely made up by the receiver. I don’t mind getting this one wrong one bit, I’m thrilled. But this seems like a time where the players story is correct. We will never know if it actually happened though.
I guess I just don’t get why you say this seems like a time where the players story is correct. He obviously got bad info, probably from Chev’s son or someone who didn’t want to break the news prematurely.
I’m not trying to discredit you whatsoever. You’ve been right about pretty much everything from my recollection, I just don’t buy for a second that this decision was made in favor of keeping Chev, only to turn around and fire him 2 days later.
