And I agree to a certain extent, but you have to admit. It wasn't a coincidence that the passing game was nil once Sterling got hurt. That can't reflect good on the other receivers and the WR coach.Originally posted by JMISASANO:
Josh Heupel as a position QB coach in the spread was not an issue with Kevin Wilson helping him recruit QBs.Originally posted by rush4life:
JMISASANO, I see your numbers and they are credible. Definitely give you some ammo for a debate. But look at it from this point of view. Let's take Heupel the OC out of the equation and just like at Heupel the QB coach. Let's preface by saying QB is different to coach then WR but just for debates sake i'll bring it up. He had Paul Thompson, Sam Bradford, Landry Jones, and the recent crop of QBs. Paul, great team player but wasn't a QB. Sam and Landry? Enough said. Then you go to our recent crop of QBs. Bell gets moved to TE and TK regressed. TK gets hurt and we plug in Cody Thomas who looks horrible as a passer. After the Sam and Landry the development was piss poor. What makes matters worse is when you have a school like Zero State who plugs their 3rd string QB in big games and he looks like a baller. I feel Heupel should have been fired for QB development alone. Did the receivers stats for Jay that you provided look good? Yes. But when you have a handful of guys that are good that didn't come from a JUCO and then the replacement players that are highly ranked out of high school lay duds and don't produce, it looks bad when other schools are doing the opposite. I like Jay and wish him the best and I feel he should be there before guys like Kish. But the WR product last year was so bad that it had to be addressed. Just my 2 cents.

Josh Heupel as a Co-OC and Playcaller of his newly schemed offense was the issue.
It's not entirely Josh Heupel's fault. Someone approved his change in offensive philosophy, allowing him to spend a summer on a tour learning about the read option. That's an offense he had no experience coaching within.
He then takes a QB that has a high school % of 56% to step in as a RFr in 2013 to run that offense with no experience in college as a back-up. They pull that scheme, plug spread back in with Bell, then pull that scheme and plug Knight back again with another scheme. Josh Heupel stays with that scheme in 2014, which saw a two year average of 57% from Trevor Knight.
56% high school, 57% OU. You can't win many games against pass happy teams with a QB throwing those numbers.
The starting QB that takes the field next season will clear the air on this whole argument of the chicken or the egg.
Receivers named Sterling, Neal, Quick, Todd, and Mead will be on the field as well.

OU turned to the run game with Perine and Ross, which was the best solution to literally 5 Pick Sixes thrown along with 17 INTs.
