UTSA Fired OC, WR Coach Called Plays Against NT

[Cerebus]

UTSA announced they would not be bringing their OC Al Borges back next year.  It also seems that he did not call plays against NT, instead WR coach Jeff Kastl was the OC for the game.

So not only did they start a QB they hadn't before, they had a different person calling plays.  So much like how FAU looked confused when Shanbour came in, having a new QB/OC combination probably changed all the tendencies and gave us fits.

Can we do the same with Harrell?

I'd like to see Mainord call plays one game

So what's the excuse for ODU and LT?

"We cannot get rid of *insert coordinator here* otherwise we'll lose our whole 2019 recruiting class" - People who normally downvote my negative Reffert and Harrell posts.

I fail to see the correlation.  They are in no danger of losing a #1 recruiting class...we are.

i'm sure this had a much bigger effect than we realize,  especially if the UTSA players knew this beforehand... see our late season Chico revivals with teams that were awful...

So there is nothing we can do other than to sit around and hope for one or more of the following things to happen:

1. The play calling improves
2. We as fans become more enlightened and suddenly agree with the calls we previously thought were mistakes
3. SL calls plays
4. OC and DC get hired away

Oh, I wouldn’t shed a tear if one of more assistants went away.  I think the offensive play calling has been predictable to horrible on several occasions and the O-line hasn’t protected well. 

My point was that fear of losing recruits (quality recruits) is not unfounded if the person who recruited them is leaving.  ODU and LT are not recruiting at our level (this year) so that would sting.
