He has been excellent with developing linebackers, and I don't think Sawvel would give him that job unless he is ready. Don't forget if he fails that would be Sawvel's head on the chopping block as well.

Bohl at DC is not out of the realm of possibility, but I'm pretty sure we'll be looking outside for OC. Wouldn't surprise me to look outside for DC, too.

Grant is terrible. He couldn't develop a cold in a room full of pre-schoolers.

Or maybe it was just the offense. A decade of dysfunctional passing (sans a generational qb) indicates there might be other problems.

Im in this camp. I’m hopeful a lot had to do with the offense Bohl wanted. How attractive is it to say to a wr recruit, you’ll block 90% of the game and we’ll throw a few passes, maybe one or two to you. Not very attractive for a wr. I’m hoping we’ll see a balanced O. We’ve had some pretty decent receivers of late, really good tight ends, but you can’t blame the receiving corps if the ball just isn’t being thrown in a run dominated offense. Maybe the wrong coaches are being blamed. I’m excited for a new offensive scheme. I’ll withhold judgement until next fall.

All I have is actual experience watching our WRs in games. They couldn't get open and struggled to catch the ball when they did. They weren't great at run blocking - as most of our RB's yards came after contact. Completion percentage has been abysmal for many years, which is a stat to be shared by the OL, QB and WR, but involves a ton of drops and throw aways when our receivers couldn't get separation. They were generally slow. Other than that, I think Grant does a bang up job.

Generally our receiver play has not been very good during Grant’s time in my eyes either. But under Grant, Neyor and Asante both seemed to progress well I thought. Asante certainly had proven himself before he arrived but I did see improvement and confidence as the year went along. Next year will be very telling. I personally believe we lack the tall/athletic possession type receiver who we can throw the fade to in the corner of the end zone (a Neyor type). If we want to stretch the defense and take advantage of Svoboda’s physical gifts, we need to figure this out. Right now, I’m projecting Gyllenborg to lead the team in catches and yards.

But you’re wrong on completion percentage this year, it was actually pretty decent.

Peasley ranked 53 out of 106. So, this year was “meh” - not abysmal. Most every other year we have been abysmal. Grant still stinks.
