Moorhead to the NFL?...

Do NFL players post to Instagram on the sidelines, or have their managers do it for them during the game?
He’s our new Bruce Arians. Crappy offensive job here at State, then go on to make it as an NFL head coach and win a Super Bowl.
Except he was a crappy college head coach, and would probably do well as an NFL OC. I actually do think his concepts would translate to the NFL in a good way.
Definitely weird how the skillsets translate. Many people think Mullen would be a great NFL coach. I don't.
Yeah but I always thought that whole 'Mullen hated crootin' was overrated. I don't think the personality of the head coach, especially if they have name cache for offense/defense/development/etc., is really what sells itself. Players want to be successful, they aren't dumb. That's why guys wanted to come play for Leach. Saban as well, he's not the most charming guy.
Of course there have been plenty of the CEO/recrooter types - Dabo, Orgeron, etc. - that have also been successful because they had good personalities. So more than one way to skin this cat. I've always said Croom would have been great in that role, but he was too prideful to embrace it. He wanted to be an offensive savant.
Definitely read this as “skillets” and wondered how we jumped to bacon, but I was on board.
Agree. I don't think Dan's offense would translate well to the NFL. His QBs take way too many hits, and he's good but not great at developing passers (Dak got a LOT better throwing the ball in the NFL, Tebow didn't). I think Moorhead could be a good NFL offensive coordinator.
Mullen absolutely would be a good coach and play caller in the NFL. Over the last several years now the pro game has transformed more toward a college style of play on both sides of the ball. I think that started happening when the players union and the NFL restricted the practice time allowed and number of full contact practices ect. Less time together and on the field practicing, has led to a more simplified scheme. All this allowed for the emergence of quarterbacks who wouod have never played in the 80’s and 90’s because of the complexity of the schemes. It also allowed people like Brady to play longer and have success much later, becuse he came in playing in and facing more complex schemes that what he saw in the back end of his career. Lamar Jackson wouod have never started in the older days.
Yeah if he runs the offense from 2010 but if you look how the offense was run in 2015 with Dak throwing the ball I could totally see that version of Mullen’s offense in the NFL.
It would be similar to what Monken is running in Baltimore.
How Dan Mullen helped tweak the Patriots offense to make it more explosive.
Mullen, now the head coach at Mississippi State, said McDaniels was particularly interested in Florida’s spread offense. He said he helped teach McDaniels how Florida quarterbacks were able to read the defense before the ball was snapped:“I think what intrigued the Patriots,” Mullen said, “was the definition of the spread for us. Once you get the defense to declare as man before the play even happens, for the QB it’s easy.”
From there, the rest was history. The Patriots and QB Tom Brady embarked on one of the most dominant stretches in NFL history, something Mullen said he’s enjoyed watching — especially since he played a part in the team’s offensive progression.

He may be good in the NFL. I have a hard time saying Joe was a good OC. The only year he really had success he had a quality college QB in McSorley, a generational RB talent in Barkley, a high level NFL receiver in Godwin and an NFL tight end in Gesicki.
What are they if Barkley is not on that team? It’s probably my dislike for the offensive production under Joe that makes my judgement clouded.
This is a favor to his agent who wants to move him before he gets canned at Akron & his career is lights out. JoMo is a terrible coach & calling him the godfather of rpo offense in CFB is laughable. JoMo has hit the coaching convention circuit hard & actually had a paid course online on his offense. He’s the equivalent of the business college professor that’s never successfully ran a business.
Kylin Hill unfriended me on Facebook during one of our games. True story
He was probably also taking a chemistry test at the same time.
Is anyone else worried that if Joe moves to a big city for an NFL job that there might be too much traffic for him to drive his BMW fast?
