He gets some of the blame, but it also goes back to the OC and WR coach before he took the job (Who was that, Martin and somebody else?). They left us with another pretty weak WR group that completely lacked experience. They were a fairly young group too if I recall. It was pretty much EQ I think in his first real year as a starter, and Torii Hunter was the only upperclassmen but was starting for the first time. EQ did well, Hunter did okay, but the rest of the WR and TE room struggled in a few games despite having Kizer throwing to them. It was a really weird year where we had what should have been a fairly strong OL we could have relied on with a run game, but we seemed to still be utilizing a heavy passing offense from the previous year despite having inexperienced WRs. Obviously the defense was the real big detriment to the team, but the lack of a strong run game hurt us in other places obviously like the NC State hurricane game.
