Candle solid . Dawson solid. Neither great , neither bad. Streeter 🤮

Interesting. So Streeter is the wet fart? I'm not sure that I agree. DJU was an unmitigated disaster and their offense was still in the top quadrant nationally according to most analytics. Outside of Shipley, they didn't have a ton at the skill positions compared to what they usually have at those spots. His QB recruiting also speaks for itself.

He'll get dinged by most casuals because he was let go, but Dabo swung big and landed Riley, but it's not like what he put out last year was by any means 'firable.'

Also shocked to hear that Arroyo has never been in play.

Coley did interview and maybe it was OC but I’d be beyond shocked if he’s the play caller. Now I could see him possibly being added to staff but not calling the games. I just don’t see him and Petrino working together. at A&M.

Everything I’ve been told about candidates he’s never been mentioned as a serious candidate.

Hence why I said that Dawson and him seem to be CO-OC/Check with me type of hire for an up and comer.

Nope. Candle was never a smoke screen. It was his job last year and then again t this year if he wanted it.

Every name I’ve heard I know has been around campus. There could always be a mystery name / names I don’t know about. I will say the names Lake has been putting out of late are accurate .

Regardless the interviewing stage is close to being finished .

Why can’t we have nice things? Seems like Mario can make the choice on defense that fits us but then on offense it’s back to the Stone Age.

Streeter is the only candidate, of all the ones mentioned, that would give hope that the offense would at least be competent. Just not great. And who knows if he has to sprinkle a little bit of Mario on it, as the rumors are that every other OC has had to do.

But we’re at least not starting from a position of suck.

There just weren’t any actually good names mentioned. “Meh” is probably the best we are ever going to do under Mario, and hope his recruiting does the rest.

I think there were good names mentioned. Not sure Mario wanted them or they wanted in so it’s anyone’s guess what we end up with.
 
Dawson absolutely sucks. Like his offenses have just been bad basically his entire career.

He also has a reputation for being a completely checked out coach. Show up, call the plays, and then he’s done. Like turning on a video game and then turning it off. It’s one thing that got him fired at Kentucky after one season. Besides how sh*tty their offense was.

We may eventually get to see all 3 as OC over the next 3 years after Cristobal has 3 consecutive 5-7 seasons. Good news is I have faith Cristobal will finally get it right by year 5 or 6 and we'll be consistently bowl eligible after that.

Honestly, I can't see a program with aspirations picking Streeter. He needs to build up at a G5 stop after Dabo gave him the vote of no confidence after just one year.

I don't like us being in the same OC market as Notre Dame when it comes to Candle. We know what that looks like. TEs and RBs and "grown man football" with middling QB play and WRs who never seem to do anything while you play to your defense.
