Well at least you guys have all the pieces in place for a great power run offense next year. Trent should really shine after getting an off season to get comfortable in that offense.Vanderbilt is interested in looking Pep Hamilton as their HC.
If he leaves, Luck will have been under 3 OC in 3yrs. While I was hard on Pep early on, I've come to somewhat like our style of play on offense (still would've liked Arians as head coach, but that wasn't gonna happen with Pagano's situation). We still didn't have all the pieces for a power running game, but we made it work with what we had (sorta).
The downside was he took too long to transition to letting Luck have the ball, and I felt that it kind of hurt us later in the season. Our line is just plain shit and we can't run up the middle for shit. And I felt maybe next year after some changes we might have gotten a glimpse of his true vision for the offense. He treated Luck like a game manager for most of the year, and we ended up giving away the ball the second least in the league. There were some upsides to having him here, but I don't think we lose much if he leaves. Although I'd prefer having him stay another year and seeing what that brings.
2TE sets with a healthy Allen and Fleener would be fucking beast.
