The pending offensive coordinator decision is so critical to ours, and Dickert's future. I wish I knew who the top-3 candidates were so I could chime in.
I hope Dickert signs an offensive coordinator who knows how to scheme to this approach. He can have air raid principles, but he should also possess the aptitude to gameplan. That's where, IMO, Leach fell short. He trotted his offense out there the same way vs. Eastern WA as he did vs. UW and their all-NFL secondary.
I look at our schedule next season and see games vs. Colorado State, Northern Colorado, Stanford, Cal, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon State, UCLA, Arizona State. Cam Ward isn't a perfect product yet, but a good offensive coordinator should be able to scheme against those 9 defenses.
