Quite a drop for our former OC.

One would think the coach that Osborne wanted Bo to keep would have been better now.

He did well at Louisville when he had Teddy Bridgewater but he did not have a quality quarterback at Texas.

 

[Soda Popinski]

Yeah, too bad. I always liked Watson, although I'm sure I complained some about play calling while he was here. It seems like he had to be the scapegoat this time so Charlie Strong could keep his gig.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Man...how many schools has he been at now? 7?

 

[mpbrown27]

Wow, that's quite a drop from some of his previous gigs. I thought I remember reading his name come up as an up-and-coming coach who might soon make the transition to becoming a head coach.

I'm actually kind of shocked people are thinking this is a huge step down for Watson. Not saying it isn't a step down per se, because I do agree somewhat that it is but Indiana can score points as good as anyone in the B1G (or at least the past few years they have done so). Definitely a sleeper game for us this year IMHO. We better be ready to go in Bloomington this fall because they play really well at home.

Sorry, but I'm thinking that going from Offensive Coordinator to a quality control assistant is a pretty big step down, without even considering the move from Texas to Indiana.

Completely breezed by QC and read it as Q'B'. Oh boy, it's been a long week. I take back everything I said except for the part about playing at Indiana being a difficult game.

Beating Indiana this year in Bloominton will be more difficult than beating Illinois in Champaign or Purdue in West Lafayette last year you can bank on that.

Seems like a good fit....

I'm looking forward to the Indiana game.

Hope he learned the phrase, Be good to all the people you work with... Because the same people you passed on the way up will be the same people you met on the way down!
