This is leaking everywhere so take it off the list. It does make sense for Mario though, Applewhite runs a Pro Style multiple offense at South Alabama. Lots of bunches,counters and RPOs.

What? I thought Mario was going to embrace the Air Raid?

Good thing he's sticking with pro style because Cristobal knows what it takes to win.

If we hire Major Applewhite you won’t see me here again until Mario Cristobal is fired.

Please don’t be true.

This is so lazy. No effort to run it down to confirm or disprove

Not trying to be a **** or anything. Honestly asking.

Why?

Seriously. We have the worst reporters covering this team.

Scary to think Candle may be the best candidate we’ve been linked to so far

 

[CanesSkins26]

With all the talented offensive minds in the college ranks and NFL, how did Mario manage to come up with such an uninspiring list of candidates to interview?!? Each name that leaks out seems to be worse than the last.

 

[htownkidd]

So, if guys are still interviewing as of 2/11/2023, then we still don’t have our guy and no decision has been made?

 

[BigJoeGrizzly]

The only way this all makes sense is Mario is waiting on Steve Johnson. I agree it’s real long shot and Johnson is looking for his own gig in The NFL. Outside of this possibility the search has been a complete and total train wreck. When you are replacing a moron like Gattis and have to install a completely new system every single day counts.

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

I’d take Dawson over Major every day of the week and that report is correct , he’s there. I hope to god there’s been interviews done by zoom or somewhere away from the Hect. The names that’s been on campus are very meh. Dawson being the best imo.

Best guess, do better options not want to work with Mario or is Mario not even considering them ?

Applewhite passing offense vs Georgia Southern 2021

Don't worry, a lot of insiders here claim that Mario has had this exact scenario planned out for a while.

Doubt it lol.

 

[mossmadness]

Wasn't Applewhite Deriq King play caller when he had that fiddy TD season or was it Briles?

Briles.

Ward was the QB when Applewhite was OC under TH.

 

[DualThreat]

This Punk B*tch calling me a cook at Applebee's, with a Bachelors in Culinary Arts from CIA....Lmfao...and been retired for 3yrs, after being an Executive Corporate Chef for a Premier Restaurant Group, running 6 Restaurants for 20yrs....Lol...If this MFer saw my Retirement package I recieved 3yrs ago, he'd sh*t himself....F-ing Clown

Would you say it’s enough to afford a $290,000 condo?

 

[JayCane20]

Why?

It’s not 2010. There’s a reason he’s at South Alabama and his career trajectory has went from Alabama OC to South Alabama OC over 15 years.

He runs exactly what Mario wants to run. Not surprised the least bit. The dude can’t get out of his own way to hire an OC with a pulse.

No clue. Maybe there’s a secret list or names being kept quiet.

 

[Mackmiller974]

He has some spread concepts, at times he will line up 4 WRs across the Field. He's a good play caller though.
