[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129543903, member: 1601483"] Coach Holgorsen is still a work in progress as a head coach who calls the offensive plays. He has taken the blame for several losses, so he is at least honest about it. The loss in the final game of the season against KSU was on him for abandoning a successful running game at halftime and putting the offense in the hands of a lame QB with negative yards on 13 carries. Coach Holgorsen seems to be learning from his mistakes, but the Spring game will be very telling. It is being advertised as an actual intrasquad game this year, perhaps as Coach Nehlen used to do it for the fans and the Children's Hospital. Choose up sides and have at it. If he does that, everyone will see who should start and who shouldn't. I'll be there and so will many other posters. Right now, Coach is fighting to keep his job after what should have been a more successful 2015 season. With his current head coaching resume' he has little chance of landing a better offer as a HC. If he is fired after an unsuccessful 2016 campaign his best shot is as an offensive coordinator at a power 5 school. If he can put the pieces together in the right order and listen to his OC up in the booth regarding play calling, he could have a season with double digit wins. That puts him in good shape with a contract extension as well as improves his very average HC record on his resume'. He may then become a 'hot commodity' who piques the interest of others. [/QUOTE]
