Official The OC Candidates Thread 2.0

Not open for further replies.
I’ll continue to roll with my Guidry theory. There’s other guys that’s been kept quiet or hasn’t been on campus. There’s no way these names are being let out.
I’m with you. Odd how this thing is on complete lockdown for weeks and suddenly we have ostensibly real-time updates on who is interviewing. Plus Smith’s tweet intimating a hire has already been made. I’m sticking to my guess these are position coach interviews. They do all seem to be QB coach types, which would suggest the OC is not a QB coach. I’m just reading the room though—unlike you, I know nothing.

Why would Mario be interviewing Candidates today if everyone is already decided and to be announced Monday 🤷‍♂️

Could only mean Mario IS addicted to interviewing.
Or is interviewing for the assistant job (QB or WR).

Or nothing is decided yet.

Lol..Gaby tweeting about the Applewhite interview 10 minutes after Barry while simultaneously claiming his crew knew about the interview 10 minutes before Barry tweeted. Good stuff.
Gaby is right here, 247 got the Applewhite interview first.

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

Maybe because I'm a man and I'm 40 (plus a few more), I understand that when someone shows you who they are, you should believe them. Nothing in Cristobals background suggested he was ever going to embrace a modern offense. People wanted to close their eyes and deny it. Oh well. Good news is that Cristobal should now have all the contact info for other "pro style" OCs when we go through this again next year, so maybe it won't take months to hire Lieutenant Applebee's replacement.
 
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”
Betraying a confidence is as low as it gets. I have the utmost respect for those that share what they can without betraying their source.
 
Dawson actually is a much better fit for our talent in SFLA. Especially compared to Major.
I'm not sure how you can compare the two and think Dawson is the better fit. Dawson's numbers without Holgerson are pretty horrible. He kept getting worse and worse at Southern Miss. And was a trainwreck at Kentucky.

He's only done well under Holgerson's leadership. Applewhite, while not all that attractive on paper, has clearly been better than Dawson from a production standpoint.

You don’t arrive at Major Applewhite 2 months into a search you knew was coming with Gattis being relieved of duties without striking out on 7 other OCs. Sorry, you just don’t.
Mario is a hard guy to work with, he got turned down at least 3 times last year and that's with a Heisman contender at QB. We should wait for the announcement though because we freak out lol
