[NU Sports] New OC - Mick McCall?

[DPENDERG at aol.com]

I know many want to rationalize the choice of McCall and we all hope  that it 
turns out well.  But he still only has one year of offensive  coordinator 
experience at a non-BCS conference school and has a huge  responsibility because 
the head coach himself is not a offense  guy.  There is no time for 
"on-the-job" training or the luxury  of  "growing into the position" over several 
seasons.  He  (and Fitz's decision) will be judged by what unfolds next fall,  so 
stay tuned.   The jury is out.

MAC  teams regularly play BT teams, so he DOES have the experience of going  
up
against them.

Over the past couple of years, BG played MSU,  Minny, OSU, Wisky, Purdue, and
NU and has better record in the league over  that period of time than we do.

They also have done a somewhat less  successful tour of Oklahoma getting
killed by Oklahoma and  Tulsa.

All things considered, it looks like a good fit.  He proven  he can win.  He's
a guy looking to move up.  He comes from a  background of coaching QB's in an
offense the depends very heavily on that  position.  Don't know what his role
was in recruiting the two stud  QB's that BG had, but I suspect it was
significant.

I hate to be a skeptic, but couldn't we do better than  someone with just  one
year of experience as OC from the MAC?  Is  he ready for the Big  Ten?  Or, do
we have to wait until he gets  some experience going up against  UM, OSU and 
Illinois a few  times?   And, I don't want to hear  about McGee's lack of  
experience because he was hired and mentored by Walker, a   strong,
experienced offensive coach.  Now we'll have a young head  coach  without any
offensive experience and an OC with just one season  in a mid-level  D-IA
conference.  I think a good Big Ten program  would find someone  more seasoned
and ready for the big  time.

Sporting  News is reporting  the new OC will apparently be Bowling Green's
Mick McCall,  who was  promoted to OC there last season after four years as QB
coach.

He  also spent some time as an assistant at Oregon State, among   others.
