George Paton managed to find a play caller that had me wanting Pat Shurmur back during the 2022 NFL season.
I've seen worse.

Shurmur taking over play calling

I don’t pretend to be any kind of expert but I’ve been told
1) we’re gonna win now
2) we’re going to have an up tempo offense
3) we’re going to throw it all over the place and make huge yards
2 and 3 don’t appear to be true based on a factor that has become increasingly well known throughout the college football world. You can hit SS fast enough that it takes 2 and 3 off the table.
And it’s obvious, even to me, that to preserve 1 we needed change. If a bowl game is the bar then a change had to be made to get it done now and this one feels like the right move. Lewis seems like a great guy and promising talent. But he wasn’t getting it done in the situation were in.

I'm not a Pat Shurmur apologist but he had nothing but JAG qb's (at best) at all his stops as head coach and OC.

I think the idea that the Broncos stint is some sort of black mark on his resume is laughable. Denver hasn't started getting to the bottom of their issues as an organization.
This is an open mind kind of move for me-I'm open on Shurmur being the OC next year, but I'd be surprised if it works out that way.
I don't want him as an OC for next year but I'm okay with the change temporarily, mainly because i just dont see him recruiting. I'm curious to see the difference in playcalling Saturday.
He hasn't. Idk if its been mentioned but Shurmur did the coaches show with Mark Johnson last night and I thought nothing of it at the time.
The smooth brains on social media are also out in force - amazing how so many sports people have absolutely no idea what they're talking about
The racists hater trolls are garbage!
Saban could do the same thing and it would be like, damn right he had to do that. Pathetic
I cannot wait till Prime succeeds, middle finger moment
It's good to see CP trying something because the offense has gone stale since TCU for the most part except for the 2nd half against USC and the first half against Stanford.
Yes, this is what the people who haven’t been paying attention are running with
And then there are people who understand what’s happening
Given the money he was to earn this year through 2025; if I was in his shoes, I'd keep my mouth shut.
I haven’t read the thread. But I fret that Shumer meddling has contributed to what has become total dysfunction. What we saw last week would not have worked at all early in the season. It’s gone from suspect to complete and total disarray. NFL coaches can be absolutely awful CFB coaches. Totally different deal.
Hopefully he’s the answer but I fear there’s more to this story.

You have to remember these people are sports fans masquerading as “journalists” and sniffing their own farts on a public Internet forum. Sports writers (Adam is a pro) are largely a pathetic group of self-important twats. Essentially this board if it had a large following
I feel like you’re kind of just throwing out random speculation for no reason. Why would Shurmur’s meddling be causing the dysfunction and lead to Prime making this change? Do you believe Prime is ignorant to the issue between Lewis, BOB, the OL, Shedeur and the offensive woes?
That's unfair. You left out the high percentage who are nerdy jock sniffers who have zero athletic ability and have had hero worship of athletes since they were kids.

That's fair. I don't think he's going to be the guy next year here. If CU goes 2-2 or better over the next four, he's likely going back to the NFL as a position coach.

Here's a guy I'm curious about as a possibility for next year. Younger guy who has a lot of experience in the state of Louisiana.

With all of the questions and theories that have been posed in regard to what's wrong with this offense and why we don't do this or that. This move might help narrow it down for us.
If we can run the ball tomorrow night, that tells us everything
They are saying that all the schemes will be the same
Sounds like they made this decision last Sunday and have quietly been working on Shurmurs game planning
I hope we see real running plays
I bet Wilkerson could be a FB
If we don't run the ball what's the point of making this switch? I fully expect to see a lot more running plays.
Power. Air. Raid. Please
It's about as a gimmicky offense as you will find in college football. I loved the idea of go-go with incompetent Dorrell to even the field. It would be a horrible offense for Shedeur
So, what the hell is this about?
Lewis being groomed to take over for Prime?
The article says Prime is loving it here so him stepping down is nothing imminent.

I don’t believe or disbelieve but thought Shapiro is a credible guy.

When he came here, it was considered a MASSIVE coup, and he was absolutely viewed as one of the best IC's in football, and people wondered why he didn't get a big time OC job.
