    We definitely aren't running any new plays this year. Krags' job, as of right now, is to fix JJ and make more efficient use of the current playbook.

    dont know but when he was with louisville and took over play calling duties from jeff brohm it didnt go too well. i remember they got smashed by kentucky of all teams in the opener (offense was shut out) and the offensive production went way down under his control.

    of course no longer having brian brohm didnt help matters but the drop off was significant for the duration.

    clearly, louisville's offensive success prior was due to petrino and his ability to coach up a qb with his system. it went downhill fast once he left and krag took over. they went from a top 10 team to a bottom dweller of the big east in about a year's time. that takes some work.

    cool

    as fans we know what we want

    for me I just want W's and Les is good at that !!


    from what you guys are telling me over-all about the new guy I am happy and looking forward to the product we shall see in Dallas


    I think we saw what Les would like to see more often in the Cotton Bowl!

    I know that Les was much more hands on after the Tenn game last year and I like that. He is a former OC and you would expect to see him more on the O side.


    not throwing stones bro and after reading it sounds like that is what I was doing !

    I am not that concerned about the ducks guys that will never be back after the full Tiger they are headed for. :wave::wave:

    The problems at Louisville have been widely reported, I won't get into them. The AD came out and talked about how they didn't give kRags a fair shot, among the other things.
    Moving from there, if some would read his resume, you'd know what he plans on doing. Talking with coaches that know and have worked with him have nothing but great things to say about the guy. Remember we hired him as the OC not HC. This may give some insight into what he plans to do.......

    TAKE WHAT THE DEFENSE GIVES HIM.......
