I don’t understand why Loggains can't

Call the bowl game. It won't be like the current offensive staff have worked with many of the players we'll be starting.

I've never heard of a coach wanting to do that under these circumstances.

He wouldn't have time to install his offense which means he'd have to learn our current offense. It just isn't plausible.
Not to mention if they didn’t score many points, the same people that were so livid over his hiring would feel validated, and be non-stop bashing him for at least the next 8 months

Ha, I get the comment.

I do hope he'll be involved in practices and on game day, at least to the extent of observing our personnel and seeing what we may be able to do well and what we don't do so well. That would give him a huge leg up for the spring.

He could sit up in the booth next to whoever is calling down the plays. He could say to Kitchens or whomever, "Hey, have you got some kind of a slip screen you could throw in right here?. Whaddya say?" We wouldn't want to do that.

I do think it is advantageous for Loggains to see the team play. The group that takes the field on offense will be his guys next year (I hope).

That is exactly what I am expecting.

He has a year's worth of tape, though the personnel has and will change some.

It is usually the custom for the new hire to "observe" the team up in the booth during these situations. It would seem that having the "new guy" suggesting plays may come off as encroaching responsibilities.
Probably best to just take notes on the talent he will be inheriting.

I would be curious how much interaction is involved in "observing".

Fully understand reasoning for him not calling plays but, have to believe he's been asked to preview ND's defensive film & offer input on offensive scheme.

That's kind of what I meant before about what all is involved in "observing". It'd be waste for him not to even offer opinions.
