Hire Simon as OC NOW!

[hungan1]

Co-Offensive coordinator? Two heads aren't better than one.

What was PJ Fleck thinking? I guess at the time we thought it was a good idea.

There's WAY more to being a coordinator than calling plays. Breaking down film, gameplanning, self-scouting, creating practice plans, communicating with position coaches, making hard personnel decisions...and the list goes on. Calling plays is obviously a HUGE part of it, and if Simon has a gift for that then I totally agree that Fleck should use it. But it doesn't mean he's ready or qualified to be an OC.

Simon did a lot more than call plays in Auburn game. He was effectively OC for a month leading up to game. KC was gone. Simon did game plan and practice prep.

Does Simon not have any say or influence over the offense now?. If he does I'm a little hesitant to say he's the guy given the performance so far.

He has no say. He can make his case but decisions are made Bt Sanford. Maybe they have been in agreement but I doubt it.

How do you know Simon made game plans for C?

He was passing-game coordinator. So he had a lot of influence, if not directly crafting at least part of the gameplan himself.

Then obviously when Ciarrocca leaves, Simon takes over.
