Appears to be a very solid hire based on his experience as a player at Oregon and Montana, as well as his experience coaching.
Hope he brings some innovation and imagination to the HC RPO.

Getting a quarterback coach as the new oc may be a way to address one of HC's biggest issues in 2020.

Chip Kelly was the OC when he played at Oregon. I'm hoping he kept a copy of their playbook.

Similar upward trajectory as Coach Chesney. He is more than welcome to make a name for himself at HC and continue the upward path after a few championships. |

He played against some big-time competition at Oregon as a backup QB who saw some action in two years going 80 for 152 (52%) for 952 yards (6.3/att) with 9 TD's and 6 interceptions. He ran for 2 TD's as well.
He was a backup one year at Montana and then the starter and in those two years went 249 for 412 2,836 yards 27 TD's and 14 interceptions. He ran the ball in twice.
He also played two games for Montana's basketball teams and scored two points.
Welcome to Holy Cross, Coach Roper

Slippery Rock Total offense 2016, 2017, 2018 when Roper was Offensive Corordinator | Year | Total Offense Rank
(Division II) | Record | | 2016 | 43 | 7 - 4 | | 2017 | 23 | 8 - 3 | | 2018 | 18 | 11 - 3 |
I'll say I'm cautiously optimistic.

He was the QB coach not the OC.
That said we can say as we much as we want about any OC and they certainly play a role in game. But the Head Coach has to let the line out some and be less conservative - or not.
Hopefully with all the reps the QBs had last year, now the third year of the RPO with many of the same lineman, a truck load of talented WR, 2 215 lb RB, the 4th rated TE in FCS coming out of HS they can average 30 a game this year.
But Chesney needs to loosen the reins. In my opinion.

I'll say I'm cautiously optimistic.
Rushing YPG / Passing YPG 2016: 142 / 294 2017: 121 / 335 2018: 202 / 255 So the best year of those three was their best year rushing and worst year passing. But Roper was a QB in college and left Slippery Rock to go be QB Coach, so it's hard to tell just from the resume. However, I do think it's time for Chesney to figure out what he wants the offense to be. IF he brought in Roper to try and mimic the 2018 Slippery Rock offense and wants to be a run-first program, why are we investing so much scholarship capital in receivers? IF he is willing to loosen the reins, I hope Roper is the guy to bring something that looks like that 2017 offense to HC. |

That's a great question on the WR capital bringbackcaro. Let's start using it.

Yes, we have great receivers currently on the roster and more signed along with good TEs , have to get them the ball. We also have good RB talent on the roster, need to utilize them effectively.
