He's not as bad as he's made out to be be, he's a QB coach by trait. The goal is to get someone better but if this buyout thing with Gattis is legit, maybe he's a cheap quick fix that comes here cheap on UNLV Dollar.
Wells?
People 100% went over board with the Herbert argument against Mario to the point where it is now untenable. The knock against Mario with Herbert is that Herbert is on an HOF trajectory and had an offense that wasn’t centered around that skill set in college. It was a run first offense and people use that as evidence that no matter the personnel Mario wants an offense that they perceive as ancient.
You mean, like a bunch of salmon?
100%. Plenty of QBs with video game college numbers aren’t starting in the NFL. Let alone a backup.
Yep, Josh Allen. Will correct.
Cheap quick fix? As in we are hurting for money? Have you paid any attention to how we’ve been throwing money around. There are so many other little contractual details that could hold up a buyout. Money hasn’t been an issue here recently. A couple Million dollars won’t force us into a “cheap quick fix”
And Joe Brady was fired as OC in Carolina.
Agree that some people go overboard with criticism of Mario and Arroyo with respect to Herbert. However, one of the prime criticisms we’ve had for our OCs the past 10+ years, including with Gattis, is that they try to make their players fit their schemes rather than fitting their schemes to their players. And that same criticism fits for Mario and Arroyo with the offense they ran with Herbert. Sure they put up solid point totals, but can anyone honestly say that they got the most they could’ve out of Herbert?
None of the LSU high powered stuff worked there. Yet people are convinced we would recreate LSU 2019. We can win alot of games with Arroyo. People are overly invested and emotional about a decision they cant control and its making them irrational. Its more impressive to me that Arroyo put up 35 points a game and wasnt running some high tempo slang it everywhere offense
Absolutely not but it is a double edged sword. Many wish that Mario leaned on a talent like Herbert more than he did. Still the suggestion that Herbert wasn’t developed cheapens and makes that argument ludicrous.
Of course it didn’t work, Carolina was not a talented offense.

That's why I said if the buyout money issue was true. I'm not prepared to tell someone else how to spend money that's not mine. I just know all these buyouts are likely starting to add up. They had to buyout Manny at 8M and his staff then hire a new staff and buyout some of the new staff including Mario at 9M according to 247 and Oregon Live, so that's 17M before you even paid the new staff anything. Now you would have to buyout Gattis whose one of the highest paid OCs in football only a year into it, also I would imagine we paid the 500k buyout to get him here from Michigan and then you got to pay the new OC and likely buy him out as well on top of all the NIL stuff and facility upgrades. I just know this stuff can't get pretty complicated behind the scenes and isn't that simple.
