Does anyone have a link for this clash? I think one is understandable, two would be different.
I would be worried if Canada did NOT clash with Bielema and Ogeron. Both are well known to be, well, difficult to get along with.

With respect to the other guy from NCSU, that was not the way things were.
Doeren was very close to Brissett (had recruited him for Wisconsin) and was very disappointed in the regression he made under Canada. Add to the fact that the offense, while still decent seemed to take steps backward with the passing game and Canada wanting to move on led to a growing rift.
The Boise State OC and the QB (Finley) were not a package deal, but Drink made sure to emphasize that there would be an open competition.
That being said, however off-topic it is, does have some relevance here. The Boise OC had no prior connection to Doeren, it was literally a cold call. Is it risky, sure, but it can work out.
I want Lovie to get out from his own tree, because it leads to stagnation with the more quickly evolving college game. Get a OC from Arkansas State who can go at breakneck speeds on offense, and have him dictate the tempo at will.
Yes, because Lovie football isn't predicated on strong D, winning the turnover battle, big linemen, controlling tempo and time of possession... it's all about an up-tempo offense. Um... okay.

I am not in the camp of people who are upset we haven't announced any one yet. But I will say I am very surprised there is nothing yet today. I thought it would be out today from the tweets I saw.
Spread can work. Pro style can work. West Coast and anything in between can work.
Illinois will have some form of talent disadvantage in all of those systems. I just want Lovie to have a system in place that can utilize the talent that has already been recruited. The only way to rise in the rankings is to pick a system and stick with it. Trust your coaching and recruits, redshirt as much as you can, and lean on upperclassmen to execute.

Time of Possession Stats - Specifically, look at some of the spread team (i.e. NCSU #11, Va Tech #12, Oklahoma #23, Clemson #49)
FYI Lovie's Defense with a power running game can win National Championships...
See Alabama
Championships are won with big plays.
What happened yesterday, eh?
Not challenging you at all, I am not on twitter, so can you fill me in?
This defines Jeff Fisher at St. Louis. Win by kicking field goals. Look where it got him and them.
Is that a joke? I just want to make sure because you never know when there is no tone to assess.
Alabama is not known for 'big plays' and they certainly did not win all those championships by throwing the football around. Considering Alabama was my reference to that style of football and how successful it is, I would hope we could all stay on point.
Please don't start using the Minnesota play as evidence that we need to throw the football down the field and hope the DB whiffs on the tackle. Because 1 playoff game does not equal 6 national titles
What I know is, when the offense scores quick, their time of possession is low and the defense is on the field a lot. When the defense gets off the field quick, offensive time of possession is higher.
Wondering about this Pep Hamilton speculation. He is currently the passing game coordiantor for UM, and were ranked 104. Couple Michigan friends said to take him.
I seem to recall him being a QB coach, which implies more passing than running. Isn't this contrary to what Lovie wants?
Not fully encompassing what I am getting at. I am not trying to say that Illinois needs to be at a speed where we snap the ball every 10 seconds. What I am trying to say is the following:
Play is over
Hurry up to the line/get in a formation (Prevents the D from substituting fresh players)
Check the defense
Look to the sideline for a potentially better play after seeing the base D
Bleed the clock down to 5ish seconds left on the play clock.
This would help Lovie out by controlling the clock and keeping his D fresh.
Pep was the Stanford OC in Luck's last year. He is primarily a pro-style guy, but is usually pretty flexible in his scheme and will make it spread as needed.
If we must go pro-style, I would be ok with Pep.
