Memphis has fired head football coach Larry Porter after two seasons at the helm of the Tigers. Memphis has been consistently a poorly productive team over the last two seasons. In 2010, Memphis ended as the second to last offense (119), the sixth to last defense (115) and the second to last team in overall production (119). As of last week, Memphis was the #99 most productive offense, the #110 most productive defense and the #109 most productive team overall. Not great results for the Tigers. In the hopes of better productivity, Memphis has hired Justin Fuente - offensive head coach at TCU. Fuente has been co-offensive coordinator at TCU since 2009, so let's take a look at how TCU has fared on offense over the last three seasons.
In 2009, the Horned Frogs were the fifth most productive offense in the nation. In 2010, TCU was the fifth most productive offense in the nation. At this point in the season, TCU's offense is ranked #12 in the nation. As you can see, Fuente has been at the helm of a very potent offense, and given the lack of production on that side of the ball, Memphis should be a better team next season. Of course, Fuente needs to also upgrade Memphis' defense as it has been near the bottom in terms of overall production over the last two years.
