But a terrible defense, winflop.  OTOH, Baldwin won a national championship at EWU.

Yikes offense wasn't any great shakes other than during one year with Goff.  I'm just saying that running a great offense at a lower level does not automatically translate into doing so in the big leagues.  Probably about as good a hire as the Weenies could get/afford but I'm not quaking in my boots at all.

Please.  Art Briles was a high school coach before lighting it up in the NCAA.  Go look up what EWU has scored against Pac-12 teams the last few seasons.  And they did that with FCS talent.  Trust me, Baldwin is going to make ןɐɔ a potent offense.

This may be interesting on a couple levels. True, Baldwin ran the EWU offense for the Adams years, but most recently his OC was Troy Taylor, the former Folsom CA HS coach who developed UWs Browning - who put up ungodly numbers in HS. Taylor has just been hired as Utah's new OC, with a mandate to bring that prolific offensive scheme to the Utes. This has me more worried than da Bears; unless Baldwin has now incorporated a bunch of the Taylor offense into his working portfolio. In which case, we will certainly need to get more than 2 defensive players into the class of 2017.
