“Drew’s knowledge is way beyond 28 years,” James Madison coach Everett Withers told Gannett New Jersey. “He has been around a lot of bright minds in football. It won’t be long, I think, before Drew Mehringer gets an opportunity to be a head coach.”

“He had a strong grasp of what we were trying to do offensively at Ohio State,” Withers said. “I know he spent an awful lot of time in 1-on-1 meetings with Coach Meyer talking about things an offense can do. I know he was a very integral part of that staff at Ohio State.”

“Up-tempo, very fast, defenses are going to have to account for 11 guys, including the quarterback,” Withers said of Mehringer’s style. “It’s going to be physical. I know me, I know Tom Herman, I know Urban Meyer, and being physical on offense is going to be the case.

“The run game is going to be really important, but a Drew Mehringer offense will make people defend 53 1/3 (yards horizontally) on the football field and all 11 offensive players.”

I like it, stretch them vertically and horizontally and stress the defense to have to defend the whole field. I've been wanting that type of offense for awhile. I figured he'd be a good recruiter considering his age and social media presence but he sounds a little like what people said about Hafley which is a good thing. Pays attention to the players off the field and continues to do so even after they've gone separate ways.
