"Warinner, also the Illini's run-game coordinator, has been a wanted man this offseason after illinois led the Big Ten in rushing with 188.8 yards per game. He was among the finalists for the Air Force head coaching job that eventually went to Houston Texans offensive coordinator Troy Calhoun."

So they hired a run-game coordinator to be their OC.

Is that to make their non-existent running backs better? 
Or is that to make Kerry Meier/Todd Reising better at knowing when to keep it and run from defenders?

the score "that launched a thousand" (-plus) idiots to tear down goalposts over non-rivals.  The game where ku was outgained and didn't have a single TD drive w/ out it being off a turnover.

And why are you bringing up Cornish?  What does he have to do w/ Wariner?  You will have a new OL next year and new RB=No running game next year.

I'll let NJHawk take it from here:

Quote
Folks, this is a good hire.

Warriner has been a part of some very explosive offenses. Granted, most of them were option, but you can be very successful running a lot of option out of the spread. Bill Snyder won a gawdawful lot of games doing that.

I think its also apparent that Mangino has a lot of trust in Warinner. After Warinner left the program Mangino brought him back and gave him a promotion. In the business world that happens all the time........... when you respect the hell out of the guy that left. I'm also pretty sure (although I don't know for sure) that Warriner had a hand in Mangino hiring Reagan.

Why is the trust factor important? Because Mangino isn't going to hand the keys to the offense to somebody he doesn't trust. We're a lot more likely to see new and different stuff from Warinner than we would be if we hired somebody like BYU's OC or any other hot shot young coordinator.

Warinner is respected in the business and he's done some great coaching jobs over the years.

This is better than a good hire.

Cheers,
NJ Hawk

Not to worry Hawkers!  Another stunning achievement for Mangino and Sweet Lew!

And why are you bringing up Cornish?  What does he have to do w/ Wariner?  You will have a new OL next year and new RB=No running game next year.

K-State needs to worry about their O-line.  ku is set with Rodriguez, Wolfe, Hartley, Cantrell, and Collins.  That's 3 returning starters, a Juco who signed with ku over Florida State, and a redshirt-freshman who is our top o-line prospect and signed with ku over Wisconsin and K-State.  Brandon McAnderson is a solid fullback as well.  ku's running attack should improve under Warriner. 

Hatter.... you are the same guy who thought that Thomas Clayton was a better running back than Jon Cornish.  You are the same guy who thought before the season that K-State would beat ku in Lawrence.  Don't even get me started on that one.  Despite your ignorance, ku has plenty of guys waiting to be the man at running back. 

Quote
The game where ku was outgained and didn't have a single TD drive w/ out it being off a turnover.

Wrong on so many levels.  ku was outgained because we had such a short field to work with, thanks to Josh Freeman and his SIX turnovers.  You also fail to point out that ku turned it over 4 time IN THE REDZONE.  The game was not even close.  It should have been a lot worse than 39-20.

I would take Patton over Sharp, but that's just in my jmho.
Title: Re: ku hits grand-slam with OC hiring
Post by: BMWJhawk on January 14, 2007, 06:49:54 PM
First of all, how many predicted Leon Patton to be the starting running back as a true freshman last season?  

Secondly, I believe if you have the right scheme and good enough blocking up front, the running back position is the easiest position to replace in all of football.  

Now, looking back at Rivals rankings for '06... Leon Patton was a 3-star, 5.5 rating, #61 overall athlete coming out of the state of Texas.  

In comparison, Donte Bean, the guy I would like to see fill Cornish's spot, was a 3-star, 5.6 rating, #15 overall all-purpose back and ranked in the Texas Top 100 coming out of high school.  Bean has better measurements than Patton, as well as a 4.43 40-time and a 4.25 shuttle time.  I expect him to get a lot of carries next season.

Another option at running back is Angus Quigley, who was projected as the 2nd-string running back behind Cornish last season until he had a season-ending injury.  Quigley stands 6'3, 210, with 4.5 speed.  Rivals gave him a 3-star, 5.6 ranking, and he's another guy from the state of Texas, which produces tons of talented football players.

Next on the list is Jake Sharp, who I'm sure you all know about.  Sharp was the #1 ranked player in Kansas and the #17 overall all-purpose back in '06.  He was an EA Sports All-American and broke all sorts of rushing records for the state of Kansas.  Rivals gave him a 3-star, 5.6 rating.  He averaged a little over 6 yards per carry last season as a true freshman.  Sharp also took 2nd in the state in the 100-meter sprint.  K-State tried to make a late push, but he stuck with ku.

Now, after I've listed three players who were ranked higher coming out of high school than Leon Patton (your starting RB), with better size and speed, is there some other reason why you think ku doesn't have anyone to replace Cornish?

yes, James Johnson our OTHER was a 4 star comming in from Juco and is 5' 11" which is taller than both Bean and Sharpe and is also heavier and has a higher bench than all three running backs (all have higher squat max), Johnson runs a 4.4 fourty  which is faster than Jake Sharpe (4.5) faster than Bean 4.43 and, faster than Quigly 4.5

Post by: The Manhatter on January 14, 2007, 10:45:22 PM
oh boy.  So many stupid things said by BMW so I'll keep it short.

- yep, I said KSU would win at ku.  I was correct about KSU being the better team.  Better record w/ a tougher schedule and higher finish in conference standings = better team.  Nobody could forecast last year that half our team would be on the shelf w/ injuries for your super bowl.  Congrats.

- ku returns 2 starters on the OL, not three.  Ochoa, Whittaker, and Dambach started every game this year and have over 100 career starts as a trio.  We went through this last year w/ beak fans concerning your defense.  You didn't believe us then and now after ku has the worst pass D in the NCAA I'm not even going to bother trying to tell you that you don't lose 100 career starts in the interior OL and not lose a few steps.

- LOL at "our replacements are bigger, faster...blah blah than Patton".  Ummm..Sharp's fastest legit 100 was 10.8..Patton went 10.6.  Patton is faster than all of your RB's and lol at his ranking.  If you think it's all about rankings then Bryan Baldwin is a better corner than Aqib Talib.  Congrats to us.

Title: Re: ku hits grand-slam with OC hiring
Post by: BMWJhawk on January 14, 2007, 10:56:04 PM
Hatter...  wrong once again.

Every team has injuries.  It's not just K-State, so get over it.  ku was at least 3 TD's better than K-State last season.

Quote
ku returns 2 starters on the OL, not three.


Ryan Cantrell has starting experience on the OL.  He didn't play as much last season because of injury, but he was a big reason why ku won 4 of its last 5 games in '05.

I never said ku wouldn't lose a few steps.  I realize it takes time to get the O-line playing as one unit, and losing a running back like Cornish is tough.  However, it's not all doom and gloom like you make it out to be.  I simply pointed out that Leon Patton emerged as a good running back for K-State last year, despite the fact that no one had him as a starter before the season started.

Quote

Again... I was using Patton as a comparison to some of the running backs that ku has on the team.  The truth is that no one knows how well they will work out for us, but there are some solid prospects waiting for the opportunity to be the man at running back.  Your 100-meter times for Sharp and Patton are laughable at best... both guys have plenty of speed. 

Oh, and not once did I say it was all about rankings.  That's all any of us can go by at this point.  People that are close to the program say that Quigley is the real deal, and that Donte Bean is going to be a good one as well.  Sharp averaged over 6 yards a carry last season.  Not bad. 

Another guy I should mention is Carmon Boyd-Anderson, who could push for playing time next year if he lives up to the hype.  #33 running back overall and another Texas Top 100 recruit.  Regardless, ku has plenty of options at running back and plenty to look forward to for next season.

I just have a question.

Since for the last 8 months the Hen House has told us how badly all of our coaches suck, and all of their coaches are so damn great except of course Nick Q, who has now been replaced by a certified genius.

When is this group at ku going to actually produce a team that AT least  has a .500 record in conference play??



Title: Re: ku hits grand-slam with OC hiring

OX, I still don't see why you think James Johnson has any affect on ku's running game.  I simply compared Patton to a few of our own prospects.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Yes, you compared Leon Patton one of our starting running backs, I was simply asking why you have been ignoring our second starting running back James Johnson. Yes I asked you to list some running backs, I didn't need a breakdown of the offensive line, also when I compared JJ to your backs, you shot it down. Why should Leon Patton be your only comparing point? If my exact same style of anaylisis is worthless, then what is yours?

Yep and some are more hit by injuries than others.  ku didn't have any significant losses out for our game...we did.  LOL that ku is 3 TD's better..umm, then why did we have a better record w/ a tougher schedule and go to a bowl and ku didn't?  I guess it's a one game schedule.  Beat the non-rivals and nothing in the season matters.

Quote

A lot of teams have a young player who have filled in for a few starts but that does not make them a "returning starter".  I don't consider somebody who started a few games for us a returning starter.  Now he's a returning player w/ starting experience but not a returning starter.  Again, Ochoa, Dambach, and Whittaker were your starters on the interior OL.  I know Wolfe is a stud but he's a young player.  It's not like these players will just step in and everthing will be the same as last year.


And finally.  I never said I didn't like ku's stable of running backs I just found your comment entertaining.  I think Sharp was vastly overrated and you will find that out.  Boyd-Anderson is the RB I wanted in this class but EVERYBODY backed off of him and that has all of the makings of a kid who will struggle to qualify.  He was talking up Nebraska, KSU, and Iowa early and often in his recruiting and then those three schools backed off so he fell to ku.  

Sharp averaged 6 yards per carry but in spot duty and not necessarily in I-formation power running plays.  He ran a few reverses and misdirection stuff.  Get in there and do it down after down...he's a great kid and works his butt off and, yes, he has plenty of speed but he's not going to do much as a RB in the Big 12.  That doesn't mean he can't be a productive player but any comparisons of him to either Leon Patton or James Johnson is absurd.

Because K-State pulled a big win out of its a$$ against Texas and OSU, and ku choked against Baylor, Nebraska, and Texas A&M. 

On the field, when both teams played each other, ku was the better team.  The game was close to being a blowout.

I agree, but that's just basically arguing semantics.  I don't think our O-line will be as bad as K-State's was last year, and you guys won 7 games.

That's why I put Sharp 3rd on my list of running backs.  I really like Donte Bean's potential and the coaching staff is really high on Quigley as well.  Sharp will be used as a change-of-pace back and will return kicks.  That's what I expect out of him.

    Quote:that ______________ is a bad hire at OC? Because he has little OC experience? Because he's not a big name? I'll admit I wasn't jumping up and down out of my chair when I heard the news. But after a little bit of research and thought, I think this could be a pretty good hire. Some facts to consider:



Why wasn't Ron Prince given this same consideration?

Book, comparing the situation is pretty stupid, even for you.

So ....hiring head coach with little experience/no big name = disaster
but....hiring OC with little experience/no big name = great potential

Dare I question the Phlocks "football IQ" ?

Come on guys.  The OL and the running game are not going to miss a beat.    Just like after the 05 season when they did miss those LBs (who had 8 starting years of experience) and the rest of the Seniors.  They did not fall off much this year from that top 20 ranking in 2005...... LOL

ku had the easiest schedule in the Big 12 and they still could not manage a winning record.  6-6 is just sad

ku also had the easiest B12 schedule and they could not win 4 conf games.  11th straight year of having a LOSING record.   That is just pittyful.

#1 rushing offense in the Big 10. 

Meanwhile, K-State just promoted a guy from North Dakota as their d-coordinator.  Your new strength & conditioning coach was fired from Pitt.  Great work, Prince!

Yes, but what did that get them?

That's like saying "She's the thinnest fat girl in the camp."

Ed Warriner wasn't the head coach.  He was the o-line coach and running game coordinator. 

Your concern is noted.

Let's put this in perspective..

You're getting a guy who will not give you a net gain in your current position because statistically, while he managed to get to be #1 in the Big Ten, that same production here in the Big 12 would not change your position in total rushing offense in the Big 12.  His 188 YPG average would mave ku up to the 3rd in the Big 12 but not by much.  His total of 2266 yards was good for second total yards in the Big 10 but 5th overall in the Big 12, just where you are sitting at right now.

So in essence, you gained very little.  Congrats on your hire.

Why are we worrying about ku's offensive coordinator?  ku will most likely the most underachieving team in the Big12.  They didn't even make a bowl game with the self proclaimed "easiest schedule in the big 12."  I see them still sucking next year because their head coach is still Mark Mangino.

LOL that ku is 3 TD's better..umm, then why did we have a better record w/ a tougher schedule and go to a bowl and ku didn't?

Because K-State pulled a big win out of its a$$ against Texas and OSU, and ku choked against Baylor, Nebraska, and Texas A&M. 

On the field, when both teams played each other, ku was the better team.  The game was close to being a blowout.

Quote
A lot of teams have a young player who have filled in for a few starts but that does not make them a "returning starter".  I don't consider somebody who started a few games for us a returning starter.  Now he's a returning player w/ starting experience but not a returning starter.


I agree, but that's just basically arguing semantics.  I don't think our O-line will be as bad as K-State's was last year, and you guys won 7 games.

Quote
Sharp averaged 6 yards per carry but in spot duty and not necessarily in I-formation power running plays.  He ran a few reverses and misdirection stuff.  Get in there and do it down after down...he's a great kid and works his butt off and, yes, he has plenty of speed but he's not going to do much as a RB in the Big 12.  That doesn't mean he can't be a productive player but any comparisons of him to either Leon Patton or James Johnson is absurd.

That's why I put Sharp 3rd on my list of running backs.  I really like Donte Bean's potential and the coaching staff is really high on Quigley as well.  Sharp will be used as a change-of-pace back and will return kicks.  That's what I expect out of him.

Quote
Yep, all the D1 experience on that coaching staff at ku, and damn if they don't keep choking games away, and finishing below .500 in a weak ass Big 12 North.


ku was 3-2 against the North, K-State was 2-3.




KSU was the only big 12 north team to go over .500 (2-1) against the much tougher south, while ku went (0-3)

You got an OC coordinator that is statistically no better than your previous one.  Which means we aren't going bowling next year.

LOL.

ku . . . never above .500 in conference play since the inception of the Big 12.    Currently paying a coach with .275 conference winning % after 5 years $1.5 million a year.
