Frank Pollack took over the OL for Callahan last year.

Well actually Pollack is listed as the assistant offensive line coach while Callahan's title is Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach. Of course Callahan had offensive play calling added to that at the beginning of the year.

Not a huge fan of Callahan's, but I have to say, while I'd be in favor of adding another experienced coach, I'd be disappointed if we shook up the offense to change coordinators. I'd much rather see some stability on that side of the ball. I like what we had going there last year, and I only want to see us add an experienced voice if we think he could help. I don't want upheaval that distracts from the upheaval that's needed on defense.

There better be a clear difference in play calling. Absolutely nothing changed when Callahan took over. So this would mean Garrett's only job would be game management. Hopefully he can improve.

Actually, quite a bit changed. Rather than calling plays dictated by our talent in previous years (I.e. We couldn't run the ball if we wanted to) with Callahan it was total discombobulation.

Yes it did change. I thought it got worse with Callahan

I agree, Callahan abandoned the run even quicker than Garrett would have. Callahan was known for abandoning the run while at Nebraska, and Jerry forgot to notice that when he named him the play caller......I just shake my head.......

Launch him. He's a bum.

Still think the whole thing was a ploy to oust Callahan anyway.

Kiffin will get a fair shake without a smorgasbord of injuries. If he still sucks when we're at or near full strength, Jason will fire him.
What qualifies as a "smorgasbord of injuries?" Just want to know where the fictional line is for relatively healthy vs. no way can we perform with this many injuries...

And LOL @ Jason will fire him.

But didn't Garrett take back over and we still threw 60 times a game (even with Orton)?

I think Callahan is out in Dallas...

This.

Callahan has not fixed anything he's been assigned.

After Hudson Houck left, he was supposed to fix the OL.

It went into reverse instead.

Then last year..he was supposed to fix the play calling..that worked so well Garrett had to take it back.

Time for Callahan to head for Cleveland.

Where Rob Ryan came from.

Maybe he and Rob can get the old band back together again.

Rob's hair has grown another foot in length so why not?

Its clear his brother isn't hiring him with the Jets.

Well actually Callahan admitted that Pollack was acting as the OL coach despite his title.

1. I don't think Jason fires anyone except his own barber.
2. If our d sucks next year at full strength, I think the whole house will be cleared and a new coaching regime will be created.
3. Not saying the changes will be any better than it has been but JJ will be forced to change it big time if we are 8-8 with no playoff implications in 2014.

LOL, we have another long thread going where the offense is being discussed, and generally defended.

Coordinators under Garrett.. rent, don't buy.

No. He placed more emphasis on the Giants game but other than that our gameplans went back to looking like Callahan gameplans.
