Thanks for finding it. It doesn't say much else. I'd take conservative play calling all day long if we go undefeated. Just wanted to point out ucla hasn't been too good as of late. COVID season, 2020, I think they were 3-4. So, maybe OC was not conservative, so he stays, but they did win many games.wavedom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 5:24 pmJust stated what the article said about the issue being him being too conservative in play calling which led to low scoring out put.

From 2016 - 2019 (4 yrs) UCLA has had losing seasons. Wonder if the OC was too conservative.
True but the Blue Sissies were good enough to give Coach Scooby O a prepaid $18 million vacation.

The only thing even in this world is the number of hours in a day.
The difference between winning or losing is what you do with those hours.

Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
UCLA was really good offensively in 2005. Then their best player (MJD) and QB (Olson) graduated and they dropped off in 2006. It's always easy to blame the OC so they said he was too conservative and fired him. Then, with (presumably) a less conservative play caller, they got worse on offense in 2007. Perhaps (as is usually the case) their problems had more to do with the personnel than the play calls.wavedom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 5:24 pmJust stated what the article said about the issue being him being too conservative in play calling which led to low scoring out put.

Fact is no one at the D-1 level saw him as worthy of a D-1 job.

He had a D-1 OC job immediately after UCLA, at D-1 FCS member Montana State for three years before taking the UCM HC position.

FBS is D-1 ,FCS is D-1AA. But you knew that.long green wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:08 pm He had a D-1 OC job immediately after UCLA, at D-1 FCS member Montana State for three years before taking the UCM HC position.

Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
I thought D1 includes both FBS and FCS. D1A and D1AA are not NCAA regulatory terms anymore. Correct?
Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
It does but the fact is FBS Is the higher division and FCS is the lower division and he never got hired back at the FBS level after getting fired from UCLA. But you knew that. The bottom line is that this clearly wasn’t a first choice hire and not impressive on the face of it. We all are hoping he rises to the challenge and shows he belongs at this level.

Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
Again let’s follow the science. Does the new OC have D1 position experience at Two D1 programs or not?
Yes or no?
Yes or no?

Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
If the speculation is accurate, Coach Atkins was the first choice but FSU made him OC there first.

Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
Do we know that for sure? There was heavy speculation that it was someone from one of those teams because of the wait but I never heard any actual names surface other than those that fans pieced together based on those two schools staffs’ availability.

Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
No, we don't know that at all. People just made that up because they were impatient.
Re: Thamel reports our new OC will be Jim Svoboda
Right. Just as Atkins was speculation. But yeah all that time passed because he was the first and only choice.
