Official The OC Candidates Thread 2.0

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.

Tom Herman tree

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.

Dawson actually is a much better fit for our talent in SFLA. Especially compared to Major.

1000% and Dawson would be underwhelming as ****.

There's a career arc in there that you are conveniently leaving out

 

[JZCane0825]

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

Barry has zero sources anywhere. He literally gets paid money to aggregate what others put out there and call it news.

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.

If he’s on campus it probably means he got the call. Oh well.

Better than Doug nussmeier that’s for sure. I liked apple white in our oc coaching search a few years back ngl.
I’m 2022 south Alabama had 3 receivers over 80” yards, rb over 1000 yards and qb with 3500 yards passing 28 tds

No clue. Maybe there’s a secret list or names being kept quiet. There’s a reason I put the indifferent emoji. Most of the names I‘ve known about are out there now.

Because any OC with a pulse has been thrown out there by porsters, reporters and agents.

This search is honestly pathetic and reeks of both indecision and desperation

Wasn't he Charlie Strong OC at Texas as well

Was Literell contacted? Holding out hope with him.

 

[Mackmiller974]

Briles.

Ward was the QB when Applewhite was OC under TH.

Did Applewhite call plays or did Herman? Greg ward was a bad man

In all fairness, he may or may not know but an easy thing to do is to DM it to D$ now and let D$ verify after the selection.

To play devil’s advocate on his behalf. Especially since in the end we don’t know everyone here personally in general. Some do and alot don’t. But I will speak on experiences I had.
Perhaps he is just trying to provide some info as best as he can without divulging enough that could create a problem for him? Maybe just even the slightest of info could do that?
I say that cus many moons ago, I brought up some info that was legit, and I honestly was doing it just to inform the guys here and add value to the info brought here, with no aspirations of wanting any “cred”. I did my best to not have it be obvious where it came from. Suffice it to say, that it was obvious from the people I am close to, the same people in my personal life I am close friends with and value. It angered them, rightfully so l, and took awhile for me to gain their trust. It is why, though not common, there have been times I have been privy to certain information and now I don’t even attempt to try and be careful in giving that out.
He might be in that precarious a position where he doesn’t want to risk even that?

Just trying to provide another point of view before burning a man at the stake for being a “witch”

This all has to be a sick troll by Mario and the media.

 

[JZCane0825]

Apparently Dawson is interviewing this weekend too.

 

[Cajuncane]

It is bat sh*t insane that we do not have an OC, QB coach, Wr coach, or LB coach right now

According to a few “insiders” we do have all of these already they just haven’t been announced to the world yet….Mario gonna announce each one a month apart to keep this thread going cause he’s getting 30% of the revenue from it….Apparently he needs a new couch..

 

[hasena75]

I have a feeling we’re all going to be disappointed

 

[JZCane0825]

Wasn't he Charlie Strong OC at Texas as well

He was not retained by Strong when he took over at Texas and wound up at Houston with Herman.

He’s interviewed

The expectation coming in should’ve been disappointment. Mario is a stubborn mule on offense. He’s not going to change.
