My understanding is that Loeffler was every bit the square peg in a round hole as JB was. He wasn't brought in to teach JB the spread, but to help integrate pro-style offfense concepts into the spread. As we all saw, this was a huge failure for a number of reasons, one of the biggest being the boneheaded decision that to do this we needed to teach the OL completely different blocking schemes for one set of plays/players and continue to use another for the rest. Of course the OL coach was in effect a part-timer this past year since he was also the OC.
I'm not saying Loeffler shouldn't go - the new HC and OC should pick their own staff, I'm just saying that it's possible that Loeffler was given a task here that due to circumstances beyond his control may have been nigh impossible to do well. --- On Mon, 12/13/10, Woody <[email protected]> wrote: Question? Name ONE improvement to QB play since Loefler has been on board? Reaaddddddyyyyyy and go. Recognize Defenses? Uhh.. no. Making better decisions? Uhhhh no. Reduction in INTs? uhhhhh no. Better production? uhhhh actually its gone the opposite direction. Is this solely Loeflers fault? no... but someone with no knowledge of a spread offense comes in to teach a qb the spread? bad move. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
