To was never so discouraged with our offense...good luck at UT...you had nothing here??
Per source: Drew mehringer out as OC
- Thread starter Rukirchoff
- Start date
Not too sidetrack too much but saw that Matt Canada is a candidate for the LSU OC spot under Orgeron.
I'm just happy he is gone. Coaching wise he showed absolutely nothing to suggest he should be an offensive coordinator on any level this year.
He may be a genius in 5 or so years..we need offense right NOW!!!
Good riddance and best wishes with the "Dance, Shuffle, Chuck & Duck" gimmick offense
Mehringer is from Texas. I think he eventually wanted to go back there.
Yeah I was the one calling you out on it. Mea culpa.
Hopefully these guys are still on board. As others said, be careful what you wish for.
Did you stay stain? Then we have your man:

Oh yeah? And Matt Rhule is never going to leave Temple! Would like you to weigh in on the thread I started on potential OCs for RU.

Love DM or hate him, having to hire the 8th OC in 8 years is NOT a positive no matter how you slice it.
No one ever leaves anywhere according to the home team's fans....until they do of course lol. Who knows if it'll happen or not but you can never be sure of anything unless you're really in the inner circle of these people.
Even with the lack of talent, the worst O.C. In RU football history. Under qualified, overpaid and 100% predictable (probably voted for Hillary)
f-him
He was given a chance to be an OC at a P-5 program then ran like a scared rabbit back to his hole when things started looking tough.
Hopefully the commits won't think Mehringer's run rabbit run move is saying the RU briar patch needs too much fixing and not worth his trying to help fix it.
All I can say is Ash made some serious mistakes when he thought this rabbit would be good for Rutgers.
He created an offense that was offensive in the wrong way. He put in a system that none of the QBs on roster could succeed in. He stuck with a QB to long and now instead of working with the returning roster and freshmen coming in, Drew turns tail and runs back to his mentor just like a scared rabbit runs for his hole when he sees trouble.
lol he's going to run the entire pass-side O at Texas for crying out loud! How on Earth is that "ran like a scared rabbit back into his hole"? You're acting like he's going to Bowling Green to be a QB's coach.
My Lord people I really have to shake my head at times.
That is a good point, but I still feel Drew has hurt Rutgers in the eyes of some of the recruits ( just my opinion) and going to make it easier for another program to flip them
along with being overwhelmed as the RU OC hurt the football team's ability to be more competitive last season.
Might be best for all he's leaving, but that don't excuse his giving up on the RU FB program and trying to finish what he started.
If Ash push him out all's well and my rant was wrong, Ash deserve to be the one taken to task for hiring someone not ready for prime time without anyone on staff capable of helping him make the O better.
If Ash had O background then hiring a novice would be more acceptable.
But Ash was a novice himself and needed to hire an experienced hand as the RU OC.
Either way, this Rabbit leaving just proves Ash made a serious error in judgement when he thought Mehringer would make a good OC and hired him .
you are kidding me with this right...whether its last or not even if the poster said it was it does not chance how TERRIBLE the offense was, you are arguing minutae
Spin it anyway you want, but he left a P-5 OC position for a lesser role because getting it done at RU seemed to hard to do after failing last year to make RU's O look like it would be competitive under him.
Ash made a mistake in hiring someone not ready for prime time and now that coach is running back to the safety of his mentor's embrace .
This move probably is best for all , but it shows Ash needs to hire better help if RU will improve under his watch..
Did I say that? No, not at all, even said "still sucks" in the post lol! The guy posted a flat-out lie in an attempt to make his point. I always have, and always will, refute such nonsense, with FACTS, on these boards. No need to make shit up IMHO.
Not sure how it's a "spin." He was OC at Rutgers. He's now Passing Offense Coordinator, aka "Co-OC," at freakin' Texas. Fact. Don't know how you turn THAT into what you did. It's not like we were some kind of offensive juggernaut, let alone college football one, prior to him coming here. The move makes sense, for him, to me. Your comment just seemed really odd and, to be honest, 100% unnecessary to me. Oh well.
To be clear regarding his title he is not Co-OC. Guys get these Passing game/running game coordinator roles all the time and they are more for respect than anything else. Most coaches who move after a period of limited success get given this extra title. It's how football works.
He went p-5 to a p-5 position w/ less responsibility. Now after seeing his new compensation, which will likely be very nice per Nuts research, he may not be making that much less relative to the decrease in his responsibility.

Hey, hey, hey! Punctuation marks go inside "quotes." Or that's what I thought I read on a weather thread here, where I get all of my grammar rules.
In 2007 Nick Saban named 29 year old Major Applewhite his OC at Alabama. He left after one year to become the RB coach at Texas. Maybe Mehringer spoke to Applewhite and realized he wasn't ready to be an OC and decided to take a step back and learn from one of the top offensive minds at Texas. It seemed to work out ok for Applewhite.
Who is everyone? I haven't heard anybody say this at all. Everybody that has publicly said anything about Ash has been very complimentary.
I'm thinking you're making shit up.
Dunleavy is being douchey:
'After one season presiding over a Rutgers offense ranked at or near the bottom of the nation in most major categories, Drew Mehringer is getting a promotion."
Pass game coordinator is a promotion?
"It is a huge blow to Rutgers, which will be left looking for its eighth offensive coordinator in the last eight years under three head coaches."
Really? I see it as a huge chance for a huge upgrade.

Guy posts a factually incorrect statement. Other guy lists the correct facts while agreeing in principal with the point the first guy was trying to make.
And you condemn the posting of the actually correct facts?
WTF? Do facts just not matter to you?
it's "principle". I hate correcting grammar, but principle/principle and counsel/council are pet peeves. No hookers or blow for you tonight.
I would have given him another year to see what he could do before getting concerned about his epic lack of results this season with what he had, but there is nothing now that will make me concerned about him leaving.
Gio had a rushing TD on his first play of game 2, and didn't see the field again until game 7. I wish him luck, but enthusiasm and a quick twitter finger alone does not cut it.
