Right now, he seems to me to be the best offensive coordinator at Wyoming since Joe Tiller. What a hire!

The way he adapts gameplan to personnel and the week to week bag of tricks is so fun to watch. What a turnaround from the first few games of the season.

Big improvement on the O line.
Looks like another 900 mile drive to Laramie for me.

Damn. Hawaii lost

This is exactly what I hoped it would look like!

He was horrible for half the season and excellent for half

Yeah, what a turnaround for the OC this season. I feel like at the beginning of the season he was doing the Craig Bohl method of make the players fit into the scheme the coach wants and it just wasn't meshing. Then somewhere in the middle of the season he adapted the scheme to try to fit the players he has and it's made a world of a difference. I feel like the last several games is the first time we've had an interesting and exciting offense that seems to fit the players we have in 13 or 14 years.

Very creative play calling and a noticeable willingness to adapt. Let’s hope he can work some magic against NM.

This offense is very fun to watch. Super excited for Friday.

NM is definitely beatable

Taylor deserves his flowers, but the players also deserve some credit for executing.

There are a million ways some of those trick and gadget plays can go wrong if the ball handling and timing isn't there, which is something I was glad the announcers pointed out on the broadcast.

They were few and far between, but there were some trick plays and flashy stuff tried on occasion through the Bohl years and even in Sawvel's first couple of years, but more often than not they were either ill-timed or terribly executed. When that happens you look stupid and get hesitant to go back to that well (I distinctly recall Bohl talking about that being one of the reasons he didn't like getting "gadget-y").

But our current set of players have the hands and the sense of timing to repeatedly make these plays work, and it's fucking glorious lol.
