OK just because there is literally nothing else to talk about.

If the conspiracy theories of Mario waiting for the Super Bowl to be over...here are a couple of "Joe Brady-esque" names

David Girardi- Pass Game Analyst and Asst QB's

Kevin Patullo- Passing Game Coord (went to Western @Coach Macho )
www.philadelphiaeagles.com

Philadelphia Eagles

www.philadelphiaeagles.com www.philadelphiaeagles.com

(hopefully me taking the time to look at their staffs, Mario can ruin it all the time but announcing the hire seconds after this post)

Patullo sounds interesting and not far-fetch.

@Cribby Please tell us it won’t be Nuss 🤢

Im at the point that Id rather it be Nuss than a middling candidate. If its Nuss, I can jus let go and walk away easily knowing Id be wasting my time following this program. Otherwise I will trudge through more years of mediocrity.

Unless I am mistaken or misinterpreting what he wrote, Cribby has said multiple times that Candle has an offer from Mario.

I’m just guessing in hopes there is a disinformation campaign in progress. Cribby gets real information….I missed him saying candle was offered. I trust Cribby more than any other.

Candle isnt worth half the amount of **** sucking we seem to be doing to recruit him. Im not going to speculate on timelines since I dont know, but there has to be a point in the courting where Mario has to have some pride and sound the alarm that maybe the fit isnt there.

Even in corporate hiring, there is a point where pulling teeth to hire a particular candidate is detrimental to the goal. Of course you want whomever you grade as the best. But there should be an element that said candidate should be excited about the opportunity and not pushed into the pool (a little dancing and negotiating not withstanding)

Agreed.

Plus, Candle has probably squandered whatever goodwill the UM fans would have granted him by flirting with Notre Dame.

Thanks for your solid input, TOC!

Brain fart on my part forgetting Johns.

Brian Johnson, to me, is headed in to bigger things in the NFL, as an OC, if I was a betting man. But ya never know. Maybe he wants to be a college HC and being a solid OC at Miami would certainly help. But like I said, just throwing a dart at the board with a blind fold on.

Regarding the obsession with Candle, in business or in life (obsessing over some girl that keeps passing on you, like ******* Jenny with Forrest. **** that *****!) it rarely works out for the better.

Candle is not that good to be obsessing like this over him. If anything, I think Candle would be his down fall because I just don’t see it with Candle.

He’s in no man’s land. We have an offensive minded head coach and a pretty young OC ahead of him. Kinda like Whipple when he was with the Eagles and that’s why he came back to college.

You could come to Miami and turn around one of the worst offenses in the country, while having a very good qb that’s stock is down. You’re playing with house money. 1-2 years of success and you’re a college HC or NFL OC.


This job is the definition of buying low and nowhere else to go but up

I'm with you. I like some of the NFL guys like Brian Johnson, but it's hard to predict a jump (I thought Campanile was coming too).

But locking in on an indecisive candidate is problematic at best.

I haven’t really given my thoughts on Johnson because I figure it’s a longshot, but it’d be a risk. Could it pay off? Of course. But it could also be a flop. He is obviously a phenomenal QB Coach, but his results as a play caller seem to be average on paper. The big year at Florida with Trask, do we give that to him or Mullen?

The hope would be that he has learned a good bit with the Eagles, gets TVD back on track, and calls plays to his strengths. I think he’d get us in the mix to land a top tier QB for this cycle too because he has a ton to sell as a QB Coach but obviously that would ultimately depend on our performance.

I just don’t know with him. Yeah, we could do much worse but it’d be wait and see for me just based on his history as an OC.

Ignore me if its been mentioned as I've only been paying attention here for 2 days now.. but assuming the OC coaches QBs - a good option for WR coach will be Adam Henry from Indiana. He's been with the Cowboys, Browns, Giants, 49ers, Raiders, and at LSU. Coached OBJ, Landry, CeeDee Lamb, etc.

Tons of connection to the staff:
1 - Played 1990-1993 at McNeese State - same exact time frame that Lance Guidry played there
2 - Coached at McNeese State from 1997-2006 - Guidry was there from 2000 to 2003. Henry recruited several players from Guidry's HS programs he was coaching at from 1997-1999.
3 - With the Cleveland Browns in 2018 and 2019 - same exact time frame that Alonzo Highsmith was VP of Player Personnel.

Obviously there's also some overlap with Doug Nussmeier in Dallas - however, talking to Nuss could have been a way of vetting Henry for our staff as well and had nothing to do with Nuss as OC.

When does the OC Candidate thread 3.0 get released? I'm hearing good things. Supposedly much darker then the first two. And by darker, I'm not referring to Bieniemy

Lashlee went from one of the worst jobs in America to having a pretty good college HC gig close to his home.

Didn't Lashlee just return to the school he was working at prior to coming here? He just took one step up, and arguably might have been a candidate for HC once Dykes left anyways if he had stayed there.
