Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
The problem isn't the system, it's the idea of a defensive-minded HC not understanding offense and interfering with the offense because of the HC's ideas about offense. That's what has happened at UofU. Whit has constantly interfered, they've had poor to OK results, and they've had a carousel of OCs .Aggieiester wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 11:40 amMaybe you can straighten this out for me, you have concerns that Gary is going to turn USU in to the UofU 2.0 but then accuse Gary of forcing an offensive coordinator to keep an offense that is the exact opposite of the UofU formula? Which one is it that you are "concerned" about? Also what is so bad about having a physical, elite defensive program that finishes at the top of the conference nearly every year?
Why? Because if I'm an OC and I have a way of doing things, and you hire me to be your OC and then tell me how to do it, I'll likely not do as good a job as I would if you just let me be me. So you'll be unsatisfied and fire me. Or, I might do just good enough for you to not fire me, but I'll leave for a chance of being free to be me as soon as I can. In either case the team is only getting OK results and it starts a cycle of OK at best and poor at worst offensive results. Carry that forward a few years and it becomes harder and harder to get good offensive players and coaches. This is my fear.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Why is it so hard for you to believe that Sanford and Gary were in the same page and mutually agreed on the offense ?brownjeans wrote:Sounds like a guy who knows how to toe the line and make his employer happy.Aggieiester wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 11:32 amHuge stretch there to conclude that Gary interfered with his ability to do his job from that. Here's a quote from Sanford who said it was "awesome" learning different terminology.
Q: Will Aggie fans see a similar offense this fall as compared to last year?
Sanford: "We knew there were six new coaches coming in, seven or eight including graduate assistants and off the field quality control-type coaches. We figured it was more of a natural transition for seven or eight of us to learn the terminology from last year, rather than 45 offensive players to learn our terminology or my terminology. That's something I've never actually done in a new environment, and it's been awesome. I've really enjoyed learning the system and also putting our wrinkles on it, as well. I think our players have really enjoyed that combination and there will be a lot similarity. The biggest thing is we want to have an identity in what we do. We want to do whatever is needed of us on offense for us to hoist that Mountain West championship trophy. If that means scoring 55 points a game, so be it. If that means controlling the football, the clock and being there when our defense is in a battle for their lives, we want to be that for our defense. What we're really looking for is to play championship offensive football. Stats are stats, but championships are what we're really looking for."
Seems like all of it is coach speak and not "clues" as to who forced who to do what.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Again, explain to me why a defensive minded coach (GA) would force an OC to run a no huddle, no time of possession offense?

I have no knowledge of Sanford being unhappy at Utah State so I don't think he left because of that but he left because he had a great opportunity at a power 5 program for probably one of the top two or three up and coming coaches. Which I certainly don't blame him for doing it is a really good opportunity and will probably double his salary as well.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Giving people the autonomy and support to do their work, is essential either in football or the commercial sector.
I don't think Sanford lacked autonomy in his role.
The outcome is actually a good one if you look at it objectively. Sanford had to work out of the hole he dug himself into at Western Kentucky, he did that, he gets a better job and his career is back on the rise.
That's a win.
We get to show that coming to USU helps with that upward trajectory, regardless of how you felt Sanford performed last year.
This is very different than the last 11 coordinators in Salt Lake.
Now let's grab someone else, and get a clean start. No problem.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Let's see... I'm out of a job. I go to an interview and the HC says. I'm a big believer in making things easier for the players. Would you be willing to run the same offense this year? Of course, you could introduce some wrinkles and progress toward your offense as the year progresses.
No coach. I have to do things my way from day 1. It's for the best.
Of course Sanford was on the same page as Gary.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Except it's the kind of offense Gary said he wants to run because as a DC he found it hard to defend against an offense like that (except in the red zone, Gary said he sees problems with the spread in the red zone).Aggieiester wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 11:57 amAgain, explain to me why a defensive minded coach (GA) would force an OC to run a no huddle, no time of possession offense?

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Agreed. I'm not saying Sanford left because he didn't have freedom to run his offense (although he wasn't running his offense). He's taking a great job. I'm just concerned about the future.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 11:57 amI have no knowledge of Sanford being unhappy at Utah State so I don't think he left because of that but he left because he had a great opportunity at a power 5 program for probably one of the top two or three up and coming coaches.

If Sanford intends to bring USU's red zone offense to Minnesota I hope they have a good place kicker.

Kevin McGiven, Dave Schramm, Aaron Roderick, Fesi Sitake, etc.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
The UofU was firing OCs...I don't know how many left of their own accord, but Sanford had a great opportunity and took it. Gary didn't fire Sanford.brownjeans wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 10:01 amI'm concerned.
Gary interfered with Sanford's ability to do his job by proclaiming that last-year's offense needed to stay in place.
Have we begun the UofU OC cycle? Will Andersen continue to handcuff our OCs and then push them out the door when the offense doesn't perform? Will we end up in a cycle of one OC after another as we either hire unqualified OCs who need someone to give them a shot, or experienced OCs needing a job and then look for a quick exit because they want more freedom?
This is what is going through my worst-case-scenario head.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Understood. Sanford is taking a better job, I'm not saying he's leaving for any other reason. Just saying I'm concerned about the future and would like Andersen to hire well and then let the OC run his scheme his way. I think interfering limits the upside.newhouse9 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 1:36 pmThe UofU was firing OCs...I don't know how many left of their own accord, but Sanford had a great opportunity and took it.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
It will be interesting to see if Sanford takes any other coaches with him to Minnesota. TJ Woods would probably be the most likely candidate, considering that Woods was with Sanford at Western Kentucky. However, Minnesota's current O-line coach doesn't look like he is going anywhere.

Mike Sanford coached with Minnesota Head Coach PJ Fleck at Western Michigan. This is the connection and this whole thing happened in the last 18 hours.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
This thread reminds me of what was said when Josh Heupel left. No one thought he could coach and were glad when he left.
It turned out pretty good for Josh. It just shows that a good coach can look bad without the right players on the field and look good when they have the right players

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
I actually thought Sanford did decent and got better as the year went on. I was looking forward to see what he could this coming year when he would have fully implemented his own offense. Looking forward to see who we get. I think the position is actually a pretty favorable one within the G5 ranks.

Isn't Boise looking for a coordinator right now as well?
The nightmare scenario was Sanford going to Boise.
It will be interesting to see who we get versus who Boise lands.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
I mostly saw complaints on Sanford. I see that a P5 school wanted him. A nice promotion. The question will be who wants to come to USU and work for GA. That's going to tell us a great deal about how assistant coaches view both GA and USU. A solid hire will hopefully diminish some of the negative thinking about GA. Let's hope for good news. Go Aggies!

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Largely because he is respected and has solid experience- if he wants the job, I think he should be considered. He's been at a P5, he was a beloved coach here, he was a "co-OC" here, he would bring some stability back as a familiar face from the prior staff (spanning staffs)- he has been loyal to USU...Aggie84025 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 4:12 pmHonest question why do you think he deserves the job and do you think he would be a good coordinator?

But I dont know the answer to the most important question- can he call plays? My understanding is that he was passed on before due to experience, not because there was any question about his abilities as a strategist. I guess I could amend my statement to say that he has the resume, and deserves it from a loyalty perspective- but can he call plays? IDK. If not, I'll concede he shouldnt get the job.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Most of the u of u offensive coordinators left on their own accord, ludwig, chow, christianson, taylor all left for other jobs. Erickson was promoted to associate head coach. Bryan johnson was demoted and left. Bottomline this is the business. Coordinators rarely stay at one school for a long time. Even great coaches go through tons of coordinators. Urban meyer had 3 offensive coordinators in 7 seasons at Ohio state. Nick saban has gone through a multitude of coordinators. Bottomline is if you have success they are leaving even quicker than head coaches. If they fail, they'll be replaced even quicker than head coaches. Hire the right guy and nobody will miss sanford.newhouse9 wrote: ↑January 3rd, 2020, 1:36 pmThe UofU was firing OCs...I don't know how many left of their own accord, but Sanford had a great opportunity and took it.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
I'm not a Sanford fan by any means. Our coaching staff hurt us this year IMHO and that includes GA. I guess GA couldn't fire himself, so this was the next best option. Sanford probably realized he was screwed when someone decided to leave in Yost's offense instead of allowing him to install his own.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Sanford was humble enough to run an offense that he wasn't familiar with in order to give Jordan Love to do what he does best. Sanford absolutely had the green light to run his brand of offense in 2020.El Sapo wrote: ↑January 4th, 2020, 12:54 pmI'm not a Sanford fan by any means. Our coaching staff hurt us this year IMHO and that includes GA. I guess GA couldn't fire himself, so this was the next best option. Sanford probably realized he was screwed when someone decided to leave in Yost's offense instead of allowing him to install his own.

Leaving to a P5 school that was ranked a lot of the year was not a firing...aggies22 wrote:Sanford was humble enough to run an offense that he wasn't familiar with in order to give Jordan Love to do what he does best.

Re: Sanford headed to Minnesota
Exactly Minnesota was a top 15 team this year and has one of the best young coaches. He probably doubled his salary as well. This is in know way a demotion.TheAKAggie wrote: ↑January 4th, 2020, 1:37 pmLeaving to a P5 school that was ranked a lot of the year was not a firing...aggies22 wrote:Sanford was humble enough to run an offense that he wasn't familiar with in order to give Jordan Love to do what he does best.
