It's obvious really if you look at the play calling in the VT game that yr VS texas and the later games. It went to VERY low risk play calling.

I just read through some articles from then and didn't see mention of that.

I do think that Martinez being hurt in the second half of that season (and leaving the second Washington game) impacted the offense.
 

As I just heard on Austin sports radio:

Watson officially receives "demotion." He is UT's quarterbacks coach. The offensive coordinator duties go to former Oklahoma State offensive line coach (one of the best in the business), Joe Wickline (who will also retain duties as the OL coach).

Charlie Strong is currently holding a press conference making all of the coaching announcements official.

That's a slight demotion considering the caliber of program he's moving to.

Haters!
 




2009 and 2010 were the epitome of ineptitude as an OC, IMO.

Each one of those seasons, as I recall, SW had to retool midyear. It took him midyear to figure out what the strengths of his offenses were! :mad:

I don't know whether Bo accepted responsibility like a HC should, but he clearly handcuffed the offense in 2009 costing our team the Big12 championship. He then forced TM onto SW in 2009...who knows what THAT did to the season, or the next 4 seasons. Bo might know defense, but when it comes to offense...well, he's his own worst enemy.
