why would anyone make this move. this is partially embarrassing for us in a way. Whenever we lose coaches to the doormat like New Mexico State, makes you wonder what the hell is happening to our program. Why do people want out. Why are they looking to move all the time. I wonder if there's just conflicts amongst our coaching staff.
I am actually pretty bummed and pretty confused on Brandon leaving.

Is he taking the Head Coaching job? Or OC job?
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.
I think this really means DC wants to call plays himself. I was always kind of surprised he didn't from the start. I always thought he did a good job of calling plays here at Mizzou, and many around these parts will tell you the play calling has dropped off dramatically since he left.
Powder River, Let 'er Buck!

I think this comment sums it up. It seems like to me that Brandon had a craw with moving to running back coach. Maybe felt a little threatened by gesser?
"@Ben_Fred: "Coach Christensen made that decision. That's a good question for him." Brandon said Wed when asked a/b switch from UW QB coach to RB #gowyo"

WTF ever......Brandon is nothing special.....just look where the offense went when Smith was hurt....one of the worst I've ever seen. They'll be fine......everything comes down to Brett Smith. Period. Always thought people overrated the crap out of Gregg Brandon.

Look at how quickly the offense changed from Arroyo to Brandon.J-Rod wrote:WTF ever......Brandon is nothing special.....just look where the offense went when Smith was hurt....one of the worst I've ever seen.

OC job at a doormat without a respectable conference.BeaverPoke wrote:Is he taking the Head Coaching job? Or OC job?
Looks like Christensen demoted him and he left. Interesting move, I don't know if it is good or bad, but I thought he did a great job at OC.
Maybe Christensen is taking over as OC......probably a good move for us if that is the case. Take the money you give to the OC and get the defensive coaching built up, let Christensen do what he does best, offense, and give some of the admin duties to the director of football.

I would love if DC was calling the plays.
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.
Me too. Lets see if he still has it. How would that work. Would he have an OC but call plays himself or not have an OC and take all those responsibilities himself. I know it hasn't been said he will call his own plays but just wondering how that works.BeaverPoke wrote:I would love if DC was calling the plays.
Another thought is that perhaps Brandon decided to move on a while ago to NMSU due to ? and that is why we hired Gesser but they wanted to wait until after signing day and everything was finalized before announcing it. Like with coach English and I seem to remember something like that when Arroyo left, not sure though.

I'm torn on this. Although I see the turn the offense made from Arroyo to Brandon, IMO, that is like dating a 400 lbs girl, compared to a 400 lbs ugly girl. Neither one would be one you write home about. Plus, let's also give some credit to better WRs and a more experienced QB behind center.
However, this poses some major questions. With Gesser here left the writing on the wall for Brandon? Is DC such an @sshole, he can't even keep his buddies on staff w/o micro-managing? Why would someone leave a MWC conf, with a stud QB, with tons of Offensive starters back and head to New Mexico State where the town is a butthole and they arent even in a conference. ?????? I don't know the answers, nor am I saying that these are my thoughts. This situation just begs for questions to be asked.

Why would Scott Duncan leave one of the most storied basketball programs in the country and take the same asst. position at Wyoming for less pay? Maybe they both wanted to coach with a good buddydjm19 wrote:I'm torn on this.

I think it would be sweet if he served as the OC and HC and used more money for the D.TSpoke wrote:Me too. Lets see if he still has it. How would that work.

Maybe DC feels this year is make or brake and wants to do everything in his power to keep his job and feels that putting up Mizzou type of O numbers is the way to win games.
Brett Smith is a junior now, and Wick/May are sophomores and we have a LOT of receivers coming back. The offense under DC and DC alone could break out BIG TIME this year...
If DC says he is gonna be the OC I am gonna get super stoked about the season.
What are people gonna think when Brett Smith and company put up 40+ in Nebraska? lol
