With Jed our Qbs got better as the season progressed (barring injury of course) ours seem to have regressed under Pep. Qbs look bad, WRs look bad, passing game looks bad, recruitng has dropped, and all of that could be becuase of Pep.

as he did with Pep. I don't know what the issue was this year. There was certainly something not right on offense. Was it Pep, was it Drevno? Who knows. The offense started to sputter in the Iowa game last year and never really looked the same. All I know is that whatever the issue was, it is the responsibility of the head coach, and likewise, it is the responsibility of the head coach to fix it. I believe it will be fixed. I believe 2018 will be Harbaugh's best year due to talent, experience of players and a relentless desire to shut up us and media.

I'd say 2008 was probably worse, but that's a distinction without a difference as this year was horrible either way.

The fewest TD passes since Rick Leach was a freshman. That includes the two headed monster of Steven Threet and Nick Sheridan with their 3-9 record.

Maybe the OL would look a little better if he mixed in a slant or some similar quick pass concept once in awhile.
Pep has gotten his QB killed at every stop as OC outside of his last year at Stanford where he essentially had an NFL line in college.

Rushing offense was top 50 this year.
Passing offense was in the 100s.
Can't put everything on the OL here. HOw many times did we watch JOK and Peters hold on to the ball and eat a sack? OL can't be blamed when the QB gets sacked after holding on to the ball for 5+ seconds.

Both Navy and AF threw more TDs with Army throwing two (2). Michigan was tied at 119 with Minnesota and Old Dominion. But take heart, both Illinois and Rutgers failed to throw as many TDs as Michigan.

He brought a pro style recruiting processes from the browns, it doesn't work so well at the college level.
January 11th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
Pep and Drev..... $7 for both, or $4.25 each... its a better deal to take the pair.
January 10th, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
I don't understand the love around Pep amongst those in the NFL. His track record isn't sexy or great. His best job was in Indy with Luck, that's it. Aside from time with Luck he hasn't done that great of a job. In Cleveland the Browns offense was horrible. NFL coaches like Harbaugh love him but I still can't figure out why, hopefully he goes to Oakland though, that'd be the answer to most of our prayers I beleive.

Recylces a lot of the same guys over and over. A guy goes Positional coach > OC/DC > HC > Fails > OC/DC > Positional coach.

He's talking about when we took the team photo, when Pep was surrounded by Harbaugh, Brown, Partridge, Mattison and Zordich.

great in the NFL (which I'm not sold on) but he had no ability to adjust his offense to our young players. How often did we have 2 recievers within 5 years of each other 20 yards down? I realize these were option routes and one of the recievers most likely messed up but he was putting freshman recievers in a position to fail.

No worries there, I'd be flabbergasted with joy.

No, that looks about how it is now (about a 6-foot drop).

I believe that picture is from 2007.
