On his philosophy:
Thank for this. Was just about to ask but I was misinformed. I thought those programs reached out and he declined. Makes me feel better that he would take the job hereThe 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.
My b…I’m specialSecond to last in MAC column
He's there - but @JayCane20 tried to throw us off the scent...And he was not on this list
Unless I missed it…which is very possible
Jay mentioned Jason Candle wasn't one of the candidates after someone mentioned him but later retracted lol Jay threw us off the scentMy b…I’m special
Has anyone ever left a HC job at a mid major to be an OC at a bigger program without getting canned? Hope it happens but gotta wonder the rationale unless it's more pay and he wants to live in Miami
Jinx. You owe me a coke.
No...I very informed....its the whole secrecy just to hire this guy. He's okay....decent resume....
this would be a better hire than dorsey imo
One of the better follows on twitter - they are super plugged in and know most moves before major writers because they are respected by coaches of all levelsReally? 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.
Congrats on the ***!
I'll also point out that Toledo has had the number 1 recruiting class in the conference every year since he's been HC except 1
Best with me....I don't understand how these are top 5 offenses with the data you just posted. What year did he he have a top 5 offense?I believe Candle was the OC from 2012-2016 (not sure if he's still calling plays as the HC). Here is Toledo's offensive rankings from 2012-2016 (using the F+ ratings system).
2012: 65th
2013: 35th
2014: 27th
2015: 47th
2016: 13th
As HC:
2017: 37th
2018: 39th
2019: 91st
2020: 39th
2021: 76th
That's 6 top 5 offenses.... at Toledo... in 10 years. Pretty **** good. Plus he brings invaluable HC experience with him.
Give him 1.75 and let's rideLooks like he makes about 1.1M. What could we pay? 1.5M-2M?
