The only things I will criticize him for is his hiring process and who he has hired thus far. Also, being so **** indecisive and costing his team on the recruiting trail because his process is so excessively slow.

PR stunts don't seem to be his style at all. With that said, it would be smart to capture the headlines is he could. A lot of people will be viewing ESPN on Monday for highlights. Perfect time for an announcement. IMO

I mean, yeah, that was my point. He just doesn’t seem like the PR stunt kind of guy. Disirregardless of his coaching and hiring ability.

If it’s true that we are going after a SEC OC, that would align with the OC I wanted the most and I think would really work for us, Philip Montgomery
was it him, clements, or Briles that was the play caller for Baylor during that era?

Being a G5 head coach for more than a few years seems to eat these offensive guys alive eventually.

Friend said Major Applewhite is being considered, not sure where he heard or saw it. Don’t know what kinda of offense he runs. Any thoughts on him

I would rather have Arroyo than Captain Applebee. Not kidding. If Cristobal is going to insist on his offense come h ell or high water, I'd rather have him choose an OC that we know for sure is capable of scoring pts while running Cristobal's system.

Since the playoffs era started in 2014, can anyone tell me of the 32 teams (duplicates included), how many ran the kind of balls-to-the-wall offense/air-raid type of approach that many posters want as the philosophy of our next OC?

I am not asking rhetorically, because I haven’t done the research.

It’s a legitimate question.

The closest team philosophy wise to an “air raid” type system would be Clemson. Even though Clemson is not an “air raid” team. Other than them…. No one.

Do you mean how many of those teams had OCs that came from the Hal Mumme coaching tree?

Svoboda is not at Tulane anymore, he retired, and lost the playcalling duties during the season last year to Slade Nagle.

Yep. I may be wrong but he started coaching QBs. Svoboda left or stepped away right before the season or something weird

Svoboda stayed the entire season, but Fritz made the playcalling change during the summer. Svoboda hepled gameplan and coach the QBs.

Makes sense but I think if it was Arroyo, it would have been done by now. Not saying it couldn’t still happen but at this point, seems unlikely.

Gary is just guessing what I told toc and d money yesterday. Word going around CG’s was that Streeter or Dawson was the guy. I just never bought that beens it’s so out in the open and that’s not how Mario does business. Nobody knew Guidry , Gattis or Steele had interviewed but now suddenly Mario is letting everyone in on the secret? Any coordinator name that’s out you better believe it was signed off on. There’s also names that aren’t public that’s been in contact.

As I’ve said just because a name is out or somebody saw said coach in the facility doesn’t mean he’s the guy or that’s the position he’s interviewing for.

Maybe I’m overthinking things but there’s a trend here with how Mario hires coordinators, and I’ll stick to that trend until the OC is named.

One exception is last year Football Scoop was the first to report that Candle was Mario’s top target and they were right.

I’m not either, but considering the circumstances that might be the best we can do.

The ideal Superstar OC just isn’t going to happen because those guys all run the type Offenses that THFSC doesn’t like...

So it’s pretty much a situation where we have to hope he just find someone who’s on the + of the spectrum of what he likes to do.

It’s a matter of coming to terms with what the reality is & just trying to find something that at the very least is an improvement from last year. We’re not likely ever going to have an explosive high-Flying Offense under Mario.

“The spectrum” doing a lot of heavy double lifting in this tbh
 
sorry to bring in some optimism here but I suspect that we'll be successful with whatever OC he picks, even the names we’re not thrilled about.

With the revamped OL, potential portal WR we can land, TVD and the RB's and gattis being gone, it's going to be night and day from last year
