Texas needs to fire Mack asap. They could basically get anyone they wanted.
Chip Kelly will do very well there when Mack steps down in 2 or 3 years
You think he would leave the NFL for Texas?
I don't think his gimmicky offense is going to work well in the NFL. His tame won't have a large talent advantage in every game and the NFL doesn't really allow teams to play as fast as his teams did at Oregon. And yeah, I think he would think the UT job is better than the Philly job.
I'm not so sure the NFL is what it is talked up to be.
People just 2 or 3 years ago said dual threat QB's would never work in the NFL due to the speed at LB and DB. Cam Newton, RGIII and Kaepernick blew the lid off that pretty quick.
Newton had the 13th most passing yards in the league, with 19 TDs and 12 INTs. Kaepernick was practically a non factor on the ground vs Baltimore. RGIII just ended his first pro season and has already had two major knee surgeries. The future for those guys will depend on what they do in the air, not on the ground.
Newton is surrounded by a complete crap team and still made the pro-bowl as a rookie. Not sure what Baltimore game you were looking at but Kaepernick was second in the entire game (both teams) in rushing averaging almost 9yds a carry and RGIII has always ran like an idiot, he was injury prone at Baylor.
It is the future.
No NFL team is going to let their elite QB carry the ball on a regular basis, they're entirely too valuable.
The Redskins traded three first round picks and a second rounder for RGIII. He was obviously hampered by an injury and Shannahan still left him out there against the Seahawks. To what? Get in the playoffs and lose their first game?
You're an idiot.
RGIII's season is a perfect example of why teams don't want to risk their QB. Shanahan got an incredible amount of grief from the media for leaving him in there. I'm not sure how you think a documented, recent disaster like that is somehow going to make other teams want to follow suit.
"No NFL team is going to let their elite QB carry the ball on a regular basis"
I didn't say it was smart. I'm just saying that what you said was not accurate.
Which team is going to let their elite QB carry the ball on a regular basis next year? Someone said it's the future but it looks to me like it won't be happening again any time soon. (Also, lol at calling RGIII and elite QB.)
All the talk prior to the draft was about how teams are looking for quarterbacks who can run the read option.
Also Griffin had the third highest QBR, rushed for 800+ yards and did it all with the mo'rough ridin' Redskins as a rookie! What is your definition of elite? You really can't be this blind and ignorant.
Gonna need a link about the read option stuff, I've heard/read so many things that suggest the NFL is not exactly seeing it as the future so much as a fad. My definition of elite isn't a dude having great numbers for one year, while being paid relatively small money. Let me know when dudes like Brady, Rodgers, Ben, Peyton, etc aren't the ones having the most success (by far) in the league. Also, Luck went to the worst team in the league and put up staggering numbers, don't act like the Skins were as bad as the draft spot they traded into.
