Matt Wells?

ViAggie · Post by **ViAggie** » January 23rd, 2023, 3:30 pm

Give Bob Cole a chair on the roof of the new press box so he can call plays and smoke at the same time LOL
Believe it or not, I don't think Yost is currently coaching anywhere (seems odd) - ah, nevermind, he ended up somewhere his surfer vibes would be very much appreciated https://fiusports.com/sports/football/r ... -yost/2930
MW move back to Logan? LOL yea not happening.

I won't be shocked if Matt Wells shows up.
He doesn't need much scratch.

Reasons it might happen:
1. Matt is a loyal alumnus. He genuinely loves the school.
2. Matt loves coaching, particularly offense.

Reasons it won't happen:
1. As noted above, Matt doesn't need the money. He has millions in the bank.
2. He's in Oklahoma now, his home state, close to family.
3. He's effectively coaching right now, at the highest level, but with no pressure.
4. He has relatively young kids, and can spend more time with them now.
5. The fans at USU were not always kind to him.

He was at Florida International University (FIU) this past season.

Just someone else who was "talking to themselves" I guess. Logic, go figure!?

Add to the reasons it won't happen:

Matt is not going to take a position in which he is completely neutered. If Anderson takes over playcalling duties, what would Matt do?

I believe Wells is still getting paid by Texas Tech thru 2024. He could take a minimal salary for the next two years and Texas Tech would still have to pay the difference. Similar arrangements were made when we brought Huepal and Yost in
as O'C" several Years ago.

brownjeans · Post by **brownjeans** » January 24th, 2023, 2:24 pm

If Blake wants to call the plays, he should just promote Cefalo to OC and let him have the OC title and get used to doing all the other OC duties.
Move Chuckie to WRs and promote Gibbs to the RB coach
or
Keep Chuckie with RBs and promote Llanos to WRs

In all fairness, it was never on third down with Guy. It was from the opposing 26 cause of a lack of faith in the kicker though.

To be funny, I once on xbox recreated the attack punt.

The other thing that would concern me is if Blake is calling plays that means he is taking time away from other things or putting less of a focus on them. I have faith that Blake can get it done as he has been a successful head coach but it is a little concerning for me.
When Wells was calling the plays, Ahbye would observe from 5 feet way "so many times where he would go to do something, like rally the defense, or yell at an official, or correct a player, or evaluate a play for a challenge....and then had to cut it short because the play clock was running"

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=42635&p=465675#p465675

Hahaha. Yep, that's exactly what happened. You can be the head coach or a play caller or a ref yeller and maybe get away with doing two of those, but not all three.

I was actually referencing the fact that there’s only three downs in Canadian football but thank you for a painful walk down memory lane.

I saw Matt Wells last year at the MW Basketball Tournament cheering on USU. He doesn't need the money but if he loves the school he could come help us for 2 years taking a minimal salary and saving the remainder for other coaches, then he could increase his visibility for another coaching gig in 2 years.

This is what I thought too… he must have been the other one

I’m not sure why we would want Wells. He’s a nice enough guy. I don’t blame him for leaving to Tech—-but he’s about as middle of the road as you can get. At least in my opinion.

Everyone is acting like he’s too big time for us. I would think we would have no interest in taking him back. If he shows interest, let’s sit him down and give him the “It’s not you, it’s me” breakup excuse.

MW was OC at USU for one year, 2012. USU's offense ranked 21st in the country that year and averaged 469 yards/game.

breadysmith · Post by **breadysmith** » January 28th, 2023, 8:03 pm

He also had one (healthy) Chuckie Keeton to work with. Not to mention a RB like Kerwynn Williams. Players that good make OC’s look really good…ask 2021 Tucker how great it is to have NFL type talent on your roster. Not saying I wouldn’t welcome MW back as an assistant, I think he’d be a great addition.
