You were just a pawn in Tony’s game to create work for me.

Oh, it was a derail infraction. Interesting that @Peruche was a chef also. But back to the OC thread. How many pages do you predict? I’m gonna say another 57 before an OC is announced.

Thanks I appreciate you cluing me in. I can only read a few pages of these threads. My patience must be waning.

Its Hamsterdam style entrapment

 

[DREW!]

So Candle is out?? He's taking ND job?

We are going NFL route...or Litrell...Shea Tierney, Brian Johnson, Andy Ludwig, and Seth Litrell are the only decent names left that have been mentioned.

Recruiting prowess is the only valid reason. Mostly for positions other than ones he actually coaches as he's a legit ace recruiter that can land anyone at any position.

However, look at his room at A&M.. lots of talent that he's whiffed on the eval or not developed. He's not a value add coach. As sad as it is.. his best position that he coaches is QB where he is somewhat decent.

Tend to want to give him a pass on A&M WR room. Jimbo’s offense did those guys no favors.

I'm getting heavy lobbyist money from Tony to post and ask who everyone's favorite bass player and/or sandwich is, but I cannot be bought

First time I’ve done time

It was part of the Operation you unknowingly would be ensnared in. Kind of like Robert Kraft without the massage.

It may be legitimate and the ND opening threw a wrench in it. They're more geared up to win in 2023 with a legit OL, Sam Hartman, and good skill players and will likely have a successful offense. Candle wants to pivot his next job into a P5 HC job and ideally it would be 1-2 year thing. ND is probably more appealing.

Not very convenient for Miami's situation anyway. We need someone to either be here for 2-3 years or build a foundation and install and offense that can be replicated and carried on into the future. Similar to Saban hiring Kiffin.

Jay, let me say, this site is a better place when you're participating. Do you, but I hope you stay for a while. Go Canes.

But he got his time reduced so they both got a happy ending….

Aside from our favorite drug dealers, I gather we're preparing to move on from Candle to the next candidate in the pecking order?

Cocaine has entered the chat.

I think I’d be happy with any of those over Candle.

Which room? Cause he had a 3x All SEC TE in Jalen Wydermyer. He just got switched to WR room this past season but the offense was atrocious but smith and Stewart looked good

This is 0 information and just a gut feeling but my sights are set on someone either from the NFL or some kind of NFL influence. Last year it was all Joe Brady, Dorsey, and Coen (1 year removed from the NFL) until Gattis came into the picture. The college guys were quickly weeded out because they ride coattails of guys like Heupel, Riley, Dykes, etc.

It's easier to vet NFL candidates because teams aren't holding guys back from "promotions" to OC even in college and you have connects in guys like Zo who knows everyone. Mario is also tight with Darren Rizzi and Dennis Allen from the Saints, McVay, and others at that level. It's a lot easier to vet and get feedback on those guys.

I'd be surprised if the OC isn't in that mold: Joe Brady, Dan Pitcher, Shea Tierney, Rob Calabrese, Drew Petzing, Parks Frazier, David Girardi, Bo Hardegree, Kevin Patullo, Brian Johnson, Andrew Janocko, Chris O'Hara, TJ Yates, Ronald Curry, Cam Turner, Spencer Whipple, Jake Peetz - only a few of those guys have legit reasons to hold up any longer because they're still playing.. some still in the conversation for NFL OC jobs. Could be another reason.

Also wouldn't be surprised to maybe pivot to seasoned NFL vets that aren't coordinating an offense right now similar to Georgia hiring Monken - Greg Roman, Freddie Kitchens, Darrell Bevell, Mike McCoy, Jay Gruden, Greg Olson, etc. - doubt many/if any of them would go for it aside from maybe Freddie Kitchens who is on staff at USCjr

Dam dude!! Great to see you back!! Welcome back!! The place wasn’t the same without ya!!



It’s a Canes Thing!!
