That was Tom Herman, you guys have convinced yourselves that Apple is a good coach because you're trying to lessen the blow if we miss on Fedora.

Ask anybody who's a Houston or Texas fan, they'll tell you firsthand that couldn't wait to get him the **** out of BOTH places, he SUCKS. If it wasn't for Mack Brown putting him on he'd be nothing more than a position coach at Rice or UTEP.

No it wasn’t. If you scroll down in the article it says Herman turned over playcalling duties to Applewhite http://www.espn.com/college-footbal...g-careers-houston-tom-herman-major-applewhite

What did you expect those guys to say? Of course they're going to root for him to be retained. I bet there were plenty of players on the team that wanted richt to stay even though it was apparent that he needed to leave.

I think we're more on the same page than you realize.

Applewhite and Fedora run two different systems.

They’re not going to be co-OC.

Either one of them with Coley @ QB/WR position coach would be very solid, especially with Seider at RB. Get an elite OL coach and S&C and we are where we need to be. I know its not likely that Coley comes back under those circumstances, but it would be an outstanding staff.

You need technicians at the coordinator positions, not recruiters. The recruiters should be the position coaches and the head guy.

Kinda need technicians at the position spots. That’s how those 1-1 battles in every game are won and lost.

The last 2 regimes have shown us that the more talented team oftentimes loses to the better coached team.

What I find interesting Chise is I don't recall any of these 3 names brought up when we were all calling for an OC with Richt. I'm with you on Fedora. It would be a smart hire in the sense he was a former HC and would be an asset to a first time HC. Fedora being an good OC is a bonus.

Because Applewhite wasn’t let go yet and Fedora hated Richt....Some asked for Coley though.

So Manny has three coaches in mind for OC, and the fourth guy ‘would be amazing’.
  1. Fedora
  2. ?
  3. ?
  4. ?
I cannot believe James Coley is in the group.

I can. I promise if this would’ve happened in December then Yost and Briles would’ve been options. Judging by that list it looks like he’s looking for someone who’s called plays for a big time P5.

You're absolutely correct about Applewhite and Fedora during the Richt tenure. Spoke too soon. I don't recall Coley being mentioned and that may be because not many want him.

Yeah he was there but he turned over playcalling duties to Applewhite

I didn't say that Applewhite did not call plays, just that Herman as the head honcho had some positive effect on that offense - similar to Texas right now. Beck calls plays but Herman calls the shots.
