I see JoMo's got his high powered offense rolling yet again

Yardages in the Nebraska game were 728 to 175.
He lost the greatest opportunity he’s ever gotten, is still mad about it, and all he’s done since he left was prove we were 1000% in the right for firing him.
I'm mildly curious as to what reasons he gave for them not having scored yet.
HEY MAN, go pound rocks and kick sand if you have to ask**
He had some success as OC at Oregon in between those 2 blunders.
I think he’d be better off focusing on being a career OC in the P4 and/or NFL, as opposed to trying to teach his very complex offense to 50% of the roster AND trying to do everything else related to running every aspect of an FBS program.
He is a good OC that should be nowhere near the head coach’s chair at an FBS school.
He tried to throw too many 50/50 balls that wound up 10/90.
I Never understood much that he did.

How good was that 2018 team if that moron could win 8 games here
He was like a great 5* can't miss prospect that had never been away from home but couldn't adjust to school life away from his mom and old HS girlfriend and instead went back home, got married and went to work at the small town hardware store the rest of his life.
He just can't manage a program. Akron has a postseason ban for poor academics. They got a warning last year and then their APR got even lower this year
He’s got two nice looking rings on the scoreboard after the first two games
His hire did upgrade my vocabulary, Not sure I was too familiar with the term, Savant, prior to.
His offense was way too slow to develop and like a math problem for the players to figure out it works at penn state and Oregon because he has 5 stars every where. We just got sacks incompletions and stopped behind the line but he was a "savant" to the tinkerer
He’s had a couple of really easy OC gigs. You give me Penn St and Oregon talent in offense & I think I could put up some offensive stats too.
He really wasn’t if you looked closely at his resume. Maybe worst decision Cohen made as AD. Firing him after just 2 years was maybe best decision he made.
You guys are pointing with your finger instead of your thumb! **
Imagine if Penn state would have had a real offensive coordinator in 2016. Saquon Barkley single handedly manufactured the opportunity for him to become a head coach some where.
I don’t think its some form of heresy to say he was a good OC. Not elite or anything, but still good. Plenty of shítty OC’s have squandered really good offensive talent elsewhere. And those 2020-2021 Oregon teams didn’t exactly have a ton of household names, either.
JoMo's thumb has been getting quite the workout!
I swear some of yall are obsessed with JoeMo. We get it hes not a good head coach, but teams will line up for hime to be their O.C.
That and a couple major personality flaws. Much like his boss at the time, I don’t think Joe ever walked into a room in which he didn’t think he was the smartest person in it.
Also, he seemed to have a very difficult time connecting with people, primarily the players. You don’t have to be friends with everyone, and many people would even say that as a head coach, you shouldn’t. That said, you have to understand what makes the people in your program tick, and I think Joe was pitifully deficient there.
The Akron Zips have to be the most appropriately named team in FBS. They play Trent Dilfer-led UAB next week. The U 54.5 is looking like free money.
NO.......That would be one Sylvester Croom
I will go to my grave saying he was the worst hire of my lifetime considering what he squandered and the momentum he killed
Croom had little buzz and was taking over a dumpster fire. National folks raved about SloMo and he took over, what should have been, a 10 win team.
He is an offensive guru. Unfortunately, reading the safety doesn't help all the time. Oh yeah, and Barkley could make Croom look awesome.
But yet it’s indisputable that he still didn’t 17 them up.
It was pretty hard to 17 up the 2018 team too, yet he did.
Its pretty hard for a coach who went 7-9 in the SEC at a have-not school to go 5-19 in the MAC at a school with as many resources as everyone else in that league, yet he has.
So, it seems to me he has an easily discernible skill set, and an easily discernible ceiling to his capabilities as a coach.
