LOL @ people dismissing candidates because of lack of experience calling plays.
Someone remind me what Fisch's experience was calling plays outside of Minnesota, where he was responsible for one of the worst offenses on college football.
Is this real life?
Jedd fisch was in the NFL for 4 years and did coach an offense for better or worse at Minnesota. That thing about the pros is pretty important especially when you lack OC experience.
Lubbick never coached in the NFL nor an entire offense.
But it is the same resume.
Im more concerned about our new OC having experience working with QBs than I am his experience or lack there of in the NFL or as a coordinator in college. There are always guys (Applewhite and Kingsbury being the two recent names who come to mind) who have had no previous experience as a college coordinator or NFL coach that have been able to successfully make the jump to a coordinator role in college.
Applewhite was OC at bama. Kingsbury was an OC as wel and in the NFL a coach. NFL experience is not a must it is just a nice thing when you lack real OC experience.
Obviously OCs arent born OCs but they dont have to have their growing pains at Miami.
Both guys had experience. I have no issues with raising an oc in your system like Harbaugh did at Stanford but I am not cool with hiring a coach with none like Lubbick. Could it work, sure but why take the risk.
We have a sick collection of talent on offense, we should get the right guy even if for one year.
