1.3kI'm happy with Plough coming back to Davis. I know some may think this was just too quick and that we didn't cast a wide enough net but Tim is a great offensive mind, he knows Davis inside and out and I'm sure he had 100% backing from Hawk, Cody and Biggs.
Welcome back to Davis Head Coach Tim Plough! Now let's get to work and continue to build this legendary program to new heights! Go Ags! -

707Maybe Plough will bring back some of that no huddle that's been absent for several years at this point -

386Won’t be sleeping until I see the Portal news Monday. Fingers crossed that LL and TT stay put and help out with the Plough transition. Not to say at all that they’ve got to stay just that they are very much admired and actually loved here in Aggie land. Know that they are talking about their options now. -

1.3kMan, I hate to say it but with Buchanan and Chubba already getting high end offers, I'll be surprised if Larison and Rex Connors stay. It's just the way things seem be in college football anymore...

558I'd figure LL would either be a return year, or a shot at the NFL. Why risk getting buried on an FBS roster? -
BlueGoldAg
1.3kI think Larison would see a lot of playing time for a lot of major programs. He's that good.

558Look at the Sac State RB, Skattebo, had modest success at Arizona State. I'm not saying that's LL, but it does provide a comparison.

260Rex is not a player who has been here already for four years like the guys who are known to be leaving. They most likely have earned a degree, and only thing they want from their new school is football. Rex academically is likely going to be a senior next year. People who transfer in their senior year have constraints and priorities that someone who has already graduated doesn’t have. So far we haven’t lost anyone in last two years who didn’t leave here with a degree, There is always a first for everything though. -

1.3kThere's always the lure of the bigger stage with huge crowds and significant NIL money now. The whole college football landscape has changed and making money is the dominant driving force for many big programs and for many players alike.

707It'll be interesting to see how much of the coaching staff will be retained vs Plough bringing in some of his own guys. I figure there won't be much turnover initially especially with Hawk sticking around in some capacity.

260i hope they keep Mike Cody as offensive line coach. The O line performed pretty well, and they had an innovative and effective run game. Plough will likely take over as offensive coordinator and QB coach. Cody has also done a good job of recruiting.

357“ Hawkins hired Plough before the 2017 season to inject new offensive life into an Aggies program that had suffered five consecutive losing seasons after decades of success. Plough was the Aggies assistant head coach and offensive coordinator in 2019 and 2020, unleashing a wide-open offense designed to stretch and buckle defenses. It became known by players and coaches as “Shredville.”

This is what we’ve been missing. I’m looking forward to see what we have talent wise next year and how Coach Plough uses that talent. I guess i had forgot that the term “shedville” had its origins with Plough. And was it Plough that was responsible for the high tempo no huddle schemes that were successful for us? -

707I believe it was Plough behind the high tempo no huddle offense we had when Jake Maier was slinging the ball. It wouldn't surprise me if Plough hits the portal and JUCO ranks to shape the team in his vision because I'm not sure we currently have the players to run his offense. We've become a grind it out running team and that's not at all how I remember Plough.

260In 2019, Ploughs last at Davis, with Maier, the team averaged 28.67 points and 433 yards of offense.
In 2022 under Cody Hawkins, with Hastings, the team averaged 35.91 points and 486.5 yards of offense, -

At Cal
At #1 ND State
#17 Montana (disappointing)
At North Dakota (2 point loss)
#3 Weber
#10 Montana State -

260. My point is that what we’ll see with Plough will be similar to what we saw without him, before this last year when the offense took a step back,
Plough likely would have done better with the 2023 team. I think Plough is a good hire, but we aren’t going to see a offense much better than what we saw under Cody Hawkins, -

707I'm excited to see the potential changes for the offense. Plough has a couple more years of experience under his belt since he was our OC and it'll be interesting to see his evaluations of the current roster and where we might need to make some changes.
I think there's too many variables to really make a determination at this point if the offense will be more or less successful than this last season. That being said, it would be nice to break the 30 point mark in more than 4 games. -

360What I like about this is the way the program has not only some built in continuity, but yet another former Aggie football player who understands the culture of the campus and can "sell" it to recruits. What is kind of typical about it is to replace a defensive minded HC with an offensive minded HC. Seems like a common pattern at both the college and pro levels. -

6In addition to te brutal schedule, there were several significant (unrevealed and misdiagnosed) injuries to key players on the 2019 team. There were enormous expectations heap upon that 2019 team. Unfortunately "football" happens!
As for 2024, I suspect we'll see more streach offense schemed.
