So, back to the OPs topic...Monken appears to be quite the hire to me. I looked back at his last college OC job at OK St. His offenses were top ten in passing, but also pretty strong on running, too. He wasn't one dimensional. He has a long history coaching WRs, and he has coached QBs some. His time at SM was impressive, too. He started with a 1-11 team and was 9-5 in his last year, three years on. Again, his passing offense was outstanding and his running game was strong.
The more I read, the more I like this guy. I think he will attack defenses ruthlessly at their weakest points. That's exactly what was missing from Kirby's first four years. I also think our WRs will get a lot of attention and they will excel next year.
It's funny because Richt was a great offensive mind who was hit and miss on defense. Kirby is a defensive genius who has struggled with offense. I think Monken is going to bring that same level of excellence to the '20 offense. We have some holes to fill, especially at tackle, but count me very optimistic for 2020. Kirby has identified the problems and taken the tough steps to fix them.
