Official The OC Candidates Thread 2.0

[Squid Bumciorek]

Yep agree with everyone saying it's going to be a name out of left field

Andre Dawson was a right fielder.

 

[Angry Ibis]

What’s dawson’s first name and where has he coached? I’m completely blanking on this dude.

Richard

 

[407cane]

Certainly hope we find better but I wouldn’t be ****ed with an applewhite hire , think he’s proven enough to give us hope that we’d have a successful offense unlike Dawson and some of these other clowns being mentioned

 

[Angry Ibis]

Andre.

Airs it out too much…

 

[WestGA'Cane]

Gaby is right here, 247 got the Applewhite interview first.

Ok..so for subscribers. Stand corrected.

 

[JayCane20]

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

The fact that he sabotaged his HC career by hiring Mark D’Onofrio as DC?

Left out a red flag

 

[KANE]

This is how you go hard on here

Yeah, he murked dude!

 

[Cajuncane]

Mario will be destined to fail if this OC hire is not at least halfway decent, and even that might not be enough.

Seems like ALL the guys he’s interviewing are “HALFWAY “ decent….I just wish he’d get one that was 100% decent.

 

[KANE]

The OC thread 2.0 has turned into an internet gang fight.

Welp, on to OC 3.0.

 

[L A M P]

Mario IS addicted to interviewing.

That or cocaine.. Hear me out….

Comes in with a self-pronounced “cafecito” problem. It gives him tons of energy. Never sleeps. Loves chatting it up. Won’t stop talking. Keeps the OL t-i-t-s small.

Cuban nose coffee. Just saying. It’s possible.

 

[EudocimusAlbus]

Lol. I fixed your screenshot so it’s posted correctly.

Good lookin out, you notice the trend here lol

 

[Torocane]

I'm waiting to see what we end up with before passing judgment on this process.....having said that if after all this crap we end up with Major Applewhite....wow that would be a massive disappointment.

Was Fedora not available lol.

Holding on to hope for better but not getting a good feeling.

This smells like when the Ponce rumors surfaced last year and everyone freaked out that it was for OC, but it was as a position coach.

The fact that all these guys are QB coaches is slightly concerning though, unless the plan is to not have the OC coach a position

 

[Cajuncane]

So, essentially….if there isn’t a private list of candidates that hasn’t been leaked, we’re fvcked. I love being a fan of this team!

Mario is bringing in candidates by the bus load trying to find that one perfect one for the **** offense he wants to run….still think that’s how we ended up with the last ******* cause everyone worth a sHT turned him down…

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.

 

[canes41590]

No clue. Not a name I'd ever heard; although, I should have remembered his name because he played for a conference rival. Young (under 40). Coached under a coach Mario is familiar with, so I'm sure Mario can vet him quite quickly with a call.

Ernie sims?

To have the OC also coaching QB is certainly preferable but the problem last year was Gattis per se and not the fact that he wasn't coaching QBs.

If the OC is also the WR coach but he has a good relationship with the QB coach and QBs in general it is not a major (no pun intended) problem IMHO.

If this happens it’ll be unbearable for Maude’s here.

 

[Negro-Wan Kanobi]

Yeah, he murked dude!

Who did?

I just want Mario to hurry up.

 

[mossmadness]

People need to understand that Cristobal doesn’t want to run the kind of offenses that score a bunch of points.

And I get that sounds crazy. But it isn’t an uncommon mindset.

****, you can go back to the days of Paul Brown, when he started throwing the football. Opposing coaches would say that, “yeah, I could score a bunch if I threw it like he did. But I’d rather lose only scoring X, than win scoring Y, if Y meant I had to throw it.”

Nick Saban has said the same thing. He wants to run the ball, play strong defense, play field position, and win the game 17-14. That’s what he wants at his heart. But he acknowledges he can’t do that anymore, so has to adopt.

Not every coach says, “but…”. Some, like Will Muschamp, say, “and so that’s what I’m going to do.” They would literally rather lose trying to make the game what they want it to be, than adopt and win playing the game how the modern game has to be played.

Mario is not Paul Brown. He’s one of the coaches making fun of Paul Brown.
