Re: Bodie Reeder the next OC?
I'm not sure that that could be true looking at his background he does not look like he is part of Gary's good old boy Network. I am not sure that I can believe this.

Re: Bodie Reeder the next OC?
Yep, I’m pleasantly surprised. Though I’m not sure what to make of the hire after he failed and was fired after 1 year at North Texas. He must’ve really impressed Gary in his interview.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑January 14th, 2020, 7:20 pmI'm not sure that that could be true looking at his background he does not look like he is part of Gary's good old boy Network.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
It looks his offense was 4th out of all teams in conference USA so that is not terrible. Looks like he also was an offensive coordinator at EWU for a year. If this hiring is true not sure what to think as I have no real knowledge of the guy.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
Just read an 8 page thread on him and the DC’s firing at north Texas.
Sounds like he never got to run his offense, Liddell an air raid graduate took it from him and then canned him.
He seems like a balanced run pass guy in the wrong place.
A very similar story to Sanford in that we were trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
Seems like this guy fits more with Andersen’s style and would represent the end of the Yost era.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
That actually makes some sense to me. I could see him getting fired simply because of the contrasting styles and philosophy. Thanks for the info.Sl7vk wrote: ↑January 14th, 2020, 8:13 pmJust read an 8 page thread on him and the DC’s firing at north Texas.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
Scheme improvements
Reeder’s offense has many similarities to what North Texas has done before, especially in terms of passing concepts. However, the overarching philosophy is different than Harrell when it comes to multiplicity, pace and balance.
North Texas primarily ran out of three- and four-wide receiver sets a season ago. That kept Rico Bussey, Jalen Guyton, Jaelen Darden and Michael Lawrence on the field for the majority of snaps, along with one running back – usually DeAndre Torrey – in the backfield.
Reeder will still use some of those open sets, but also wants to work in plenty of other looks. He doesn’t shy away from using multiple tight ends and multiple running backs. In general, expect tight end Kelvin Smith to be a bigger part of the game plan. The tight end or H-back helps create versatility.
Additionally, runs won’t always come out of spread alignments. Instead of spacing the field side-to-side, Reeder will work with additional blockers in and around the line of scrimmage. Run-pass options, or RPOs as they’ve been dubbed, are a critical part of the game plan.
A season ago, North Texas struggled to put away games. All three regular season losses came after blowing double-digit leads, and the inability to get conversions on 3rd-and-short didn’t help. Reeder wants to rebuild the short-yardage game from scratch.
“I think you have to, at times, change your personnel so your backs have a chance to be successful,” Reeder said. “Give them a chance to be successful, running behind the tight end, running behind the fullback –”
The fullback?
“Yes, the fullback. You can still do that in the spread and the gun. You have to help them have a chance. It’s not that these backs can’t get those yards, you just have to help them and give them a chance.”
When Reeder talks about balance, he means it. Look no further than his final season at Eastern Washington.
The Eagles entered the 2018 season with senior quarterback Gage Gubrud, a two-time finalist for the Walter Payton Trophy – the FCS version of the Heisman. The game plan coming into the year was to lean on his elite arm. But after five games and 217 points, Gubrud went out for the season with a toe injury. Instead of panicking, Reeder modified his playcalling philosophy.
Over the final 10 games after Gubrud’s injury, Eastern Washington upped the carries from 34.8 to 37 per game. The efficiency went down – noticeably – but the reliable rush helped open the pass game for sophomore quarterback Eric Barriere.
By the end of the year, running back Sam McPherson ranked No. 4 nationally in rushing yards and EWU ranked No. 20 in passing yards. Five different players posted at least 350 rushing yards. Ten players had double-digit catches and twelve caught a touchdown.

I hear he has a history of coordinating offenses that move the ball and can put up points in a hurry.

I did some digging on Reddit and their fan board: Most thought Reeder would get a free pass for his first year.NorCalAggie wrote: ↑January 14th, 2020, 9:00 pmFor what it's worth, I read UNT fans were surprised Reeder was fired, the DC not so much.
However, they all hated their offense. They were initially excited to see him install the offense that he ran at EWU, but, it never happened. Some believe that their HC severely limited his freedom.
So, he killed it at EWU and bombed at NTU. Maybe he did have his hands tied at NTU? That’s what I’m hoping.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
Understandable, but Ed Orgeron was fired at Ole Miss and USC passed on him also.
He seemed to do alright at LSU. Most coaches get fired at some point in their careers, goes with the territory. Could be a number of factors, I hope it works here like at EWU.

But if you were asking me what resume the incoming OC would have, i would generally lean towards a guy that set records at his previous school and was in high demand. ( for example, the guy from UC Davis type resume)
Nobody freak out. I know nothing about the guy and he could be the second coming of Lincoln Riley. Mostly just an observation.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
Agreed, I don't know anything either. One of the most anticipated hires I ever had was Brent Guy. He was coming from a PAC-10 program, was familiar with Logan, and seemed like the best candidate for the job as the team moved into the WAC.2004AG wrote: ↑January 14th, 2020, 10:17 pmFor sure.NowhereLandAggie wrote:Understandable, but Ed Orgeron was fired at Ole Miss and USC passed on him also.

We all saw how that turned out. Coaches will be loved or despised based on how their teams perform, not their pedigree.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
Quite a few good video clips of what style of offense that he likes to run, I think it will be a great fit for our QB's. With Scarver, Nathan, and Thomkins along with either a grad transfer or a JC wr this could be a very proflic offense. Springball is going to be fun to watch.AngusAg wrote: ↑January 15th, 2020, 2:31 amHere's an informative article written last year about Reeder pulled off an Ok St blog when they were in the market for an OC.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
It is no secret that Gary hated the hurry up offense this last year. Granted at time the offense was really putrid. We should see a whole new offense with the style that Gary wants to run which is to use multiple running backs and tight ends. He seems like he has a good offensive mind and I like the style that he wants to run. Seems like a good solid hire.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
The plan is to run as similar a system as we had during Chuckie Keetons freshman and sophomore seasons. Spread offense, interchangeable running backs, two tight ends at times (like how DJ Tialavea and Kellen Bartlett were used simultaneously) but still throw 3, 4, and even 5 WRs out there at times.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
That part made me happy. I've been really impressed with how the Niners have used Kyle Juszczyk this year. I think a good fullback can be a huge benefit in the run game.“I think you have to, at times, change your personnel so your backs have a chance to be successful,” Reeder said. “Give them a chance to be successful, running behind the tight end, running behind the fullback –”
The fullback?
“Yes, the fullback. You can still do that in the spread and the gun. You have to help them have a chance. It’s not that these backs can’t get those yards, you just have to help them and give them a chance.”
Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
I think this lines up perfectly with the future growth of our offensive line along with the rest of the team. I really think that 2021 could be a great year. It will be our 3rd year under Anderson, 2nd with the new OC, Colombi will be a SR, our entire offense line will have 2-3 years experience together, and the schedule is in our favor.aggies22 wrote: ↑January 15th, 2020, 9:53 amThe plan is to run as similar a system as we had during Chuckie Keetons freshman and sophomore seasons.

I loved that offense. I think Henry will be able to run this efficiently. Not saying he is Chuckie, but he is more than a capable runner.

Re: Bodie Reeder, the next OC
Great observation, I have been thinking the same thing. Being an avid Niners fan it has been a pleasure watching this Offense and how Shanny uses Kyle in motion, pass pro and to open holes. If you want to see a power running game that is clicking watch this.AgMan21 wrote: ↑January 15th, 2020, 11:56 amThat part made me happy.
