Have not seen discussed - Likens as OC

I like Rob. Genuinely really good guy, recruits well, connects with kids, players like him, etc. I can't comment much as to what happened at ASU but I don't see why a more elevated role couldn't be the solution here?

How about Kellen Moore? Haven't seen his name thrown around #SwingForTheFences

Should’ve kept him as WR coach. I like him

Would have no issues with him as OC

Beat me to it. Stopped reading after the part you put in bold.

As far as Dorsey vs Brady, it’s a very fair comparison. At this point, Dorsey is probably more likely to get an OC title at the NFL level than Brady. He is a hot name. Has been around a lot of different programs and schemes. It’s time to bring the legend back home. Ken is qualified. Bring the man home. Guys like Mario and Dorsey make it easier for fans, the community, and boosters to commit. Come on home Ken. Show us what you learned in the big leagues.

If Ken is on the verge of becoming an NFL OC why would he step down to college?

What got me interested in Likens is when I heard on a show that as the TVD move was made, he became the passing coordinator and worked with TVD. Also, I hadn't really noticed this before, but apparently TVD would often chat w/ Likens when he'd come off the field.

If we went with Likens, I'm cool with it. Until proven otherwise, I'm trusting Mario on this.

Just so ur aware, at this point Dorsey is **** near considered a guru at the NFL level. Ask Shula who was doing what for cam & ask Josh Allen who's responsible for his success...

I know the Bills air it out a bit but I'd still like an air raid modern college offense. Basically if the QB takes a snap from under center besides when he takes a knee, we're regressing.

Maybe because he wasn’t all too good at being an offensive coordinator?

Good WR coach, not good OC, solution? Don’t make him OC lol

Same guys saying no to Dorsey, saying yes to Brady don’t realize Brady was an offensive assistant (like no position coach title) before LSU with no playing calling experience. He was just considered a bright mind like Dorsey, I would even say Dorsey’s resume is better (prior to either one of them ever being official OCs and calling plays) given his position coach title and history along with the passing game coordinator title. I don’t get all the backlash against Dorsey, but stomping on the table for Brady.

Either could be successful along with some other assistants who have never called plays before, but have learned a lot from great offensive minds.

What if you say no to both?

Lashlee never intended to bring Likens with him, he already had his guys in mind once he got the SMU job.

The only people who think Likens can be or should be an OC is Canes fans, lol.

not surprising since he is still coaching here, has been an OC elsewhere, so would be of interest to Miami fans. I think he's done a good job with wrs... what would be your issue with him as OC in particular? Personally, I'd be curious to see how much the offense changes with him at the helm in the bowl game. Maybe he has adapted some things that he is used to with Lashlee's system and would continue that?

That said, I would be fine with him staying as wr coach.

He's going to be an OC in the NFL this off-season (he's already been mentioned for several OC jobs the last few years) probably and I even saw him on a future NFL head coaching list sometime this past week. He's very highly thought of in the NFL.

Gonna go out on a limb and say his answer is probably along the lines of the fact that he has been fired/demoted from his last 2 OC jobs. Just a hunch though!

He’s a very good WR’s coach, not a good OC.

The issue is he’s failed pretty bad at both Kansas & AZ St, David Beaty literally demoted him & took play calling away from him & then Herm fired him after one year for being too conservative as a play caller.

We’re not in position to experiment, we have a loaded offense that’s ready to go & win now, we need a sure thing at OC, not a bunch of question marks... Likens, Dorsey, Brady etc, are all question marks, we need a verified play caller that we know will not & cannot fail given the talent we have.
