Some names to watch before it’s deleted

[Bk1]

Someone help me understand why this is what most people call a "homerun" hire?

 

[Odysseus]

If hired he would be a top 2-3 offensive coordinator (not including HC’s that call plays like Kiffin, Riley, Sark) in the country

Welp I’m not sleeping tonight lol

So the block. Is it hot?

So this was the reason why I brought back up the topic on a HC from another program being the OC in the big names thread on p406…

Slid another poster the name that night after hearing Candle was a primary target, said poster can vouch if they choose. Spoke with Jaycane about it as well after he mentioned hearing about a G5 HC candidate a few days later. I couldn’t believe it honestly. But I was only told exactly that he was just a top target, not that anything was “done” so I wasn’t going to create a guessing and speculation frenzy since at that point his name was nowhere to be found anywhere and I **** sure wasn’t dropping a name publicly. Candle is an X and O wiz that has a modern style, scores points (27th in scoring O, Miami was 23rd) but traditionally runs the pill very well too (30th rushing O) so this makes sense for Mario.

When scoop and plugged in sources put out stuff like this and start using terms like targeting and zeroing in etc, most of the time that means all but done. It’s risky though cause the man is still employed but with this being “OUT” now, I can’t see it dragging on very long. Either he will sh*t or get off the pot. Hopefully we get it done, would be home run IMO.

Footballscoop always has good info. If Feldman drops a targeting tweet he’s ours.

Toledo has turned into a good job.

If Mario pulls this one off I’ll be really, really impressed.

The key is Candle is deserving of moving up in the coaching ranks. Toledo has hit its ceiling. Moving up to a bigger job might require him to take a P5 OC job for consideration at another P5 program HC opportunity.

Heard he openly reached out to VT, Illinois in the past, Michigan State last year and he’s not getting any traction.

This excites me!

Pivoting, realizing Dorsey's a pipedream?

@Liberty City El kept saying to wait a week…

Would absolutely love Candle


(we'd be hiring another OC within 2 years)

That would be anyone that would light it up here. The downside of success.

FootballScoop is a legit outlet. If they're reporting it, then it's likely he's the guy.

Really? Personally had no idea... I'm a dumbass sitting here thinking it's just some random tweeter dude, reading message board tea leaves, and posing behind a logo/account. Thx.

 

[KANE]

I like it. Having former HCs as coordinators is a plus in my book. How much does this guy get paid now?

Not as much as we can pay nowadays (****, It’s cool being rich. ). His career arc seems to be aiming at being a P5 HC in a few years. Make him an offer……

 

[JerseyCanes]

I wouldn’t mind Beard going off field for a bit and taking BMac’s spot when he leaves.

well um...KB has some explaining to do. All I see is KB taking Dorito's side instead of Hurely's when they were discussing that kid from Delaware.....

I'm not dreaming about em', He doesn't even call plays.

 

[Dan E. Dangerously]

Would love Candle. While FSU and UF hire g5 coaches to lead their programs, we hire them to be our OC.

Makes sense. He needs a desperate school like Iowa State was with Campbell.

Footballscoops sources are usually other coaches , so they tend to have a good hit rate.

 

[Gi0logy]

Kareem Hunt, Logan Woodside, and Diontae Johnson are some of his players doing well in the NFL. Let's ride.

I’ll wait until Cribby puts the cribbyball in on this
