Armstrong is a very good play-caller. Calling plays is calling plays. Doesn't matter the level. He is an offensive guy. I admire Choate for giving him the nod. He could of went outside and got someone, but he trusts Brian. I know Brian very well. He's a very good football coach.
Having said that, Cat fans going giddy over this are overlooking two important things. 1. Armstrong isn't going to reinvent the wheel. Whatever offense he runs, it's not going to be anything opposing defenses haven't seen. 2. He still has a QB dilemma. 1 He has a kid who is not going to learn to complete meaningful passes under pressure against FCS level talent with consistency over the next five months. No matter how hard DMac works with him. If he deosn't go with him, he has Bruggman who is wayyyyy in over his head. And if he doesn't go with Bruggman, he starts all over again with a true freshman. Yes, I'm very, very aware how talented Rovig is. But, after a 4-7 season, is throwing ANOTHER true frosh into the fire really the way to go? I guess we'll find out.
