This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Offensive coordinator is intense on gameday by golfjunkie17

Things happen fast and you need to be able to adapt and adjust faster than the opponent’s coaching staff. The most important attribute for offensive coordinators at the highest levels is experience (obviously, IMO). There’s no level of playing quarterback that can prepare you for the gameday experience of commanding the offense in total, because playing quarterback is absolutely nothing like coordinating the offense. Likewise, there is not a gene passed from parent to child that bypasses the value of experience in the position. Further, if you’re essentially learning on the job, how much does that impact other facets of the position, such as recruiting?

I hope TR does well, in spite of his glaring deficiencies in the experience department. I am not confident, but I hope I am wrong. My fear is he becomes a puppet/proxy for BK to meddle in the offense, and a scapegoat if things go poorly.
