FSU football: Top Four MAJOR traits new offensive coordinator must have
By Kelvin Hunt
Communication/Execution
The first three things are important, but this one is by far the most important. The new offensive coordinator must communicate effectively in every aspect.
I'm not saying the offense must be rudimentary, but he needs to explain the concepts so position coaches and players can grasp them quickly and get practice repetitions to develop.
Plays fail more due to the lack of execution than what a defense does to defend it. Is a play effective if the players can't execute it consistently? The other part is the ability to demand the execution of plays.
It has been maddening to watch the FSU offense run plays they can't execute. How often have the screenplays to receivers out wide failed because the receiver responsible for making a block failed?
How often did the counter run fail because the center got blown off the line of scrimmage or the tight end didn't execute their block?
Where's the accountability when guys don't do their jobs at practice? We routinely saw guys fail to execute blocks or drop passes and remain on the field in 2024. That can't happen moving forward, and the communication about the standard, expectations, and implementation of the offense has to be clear and concise.
