The OC Candidates Thread

[Cane6]

I agree & If it was me I would...

It just depends on how much the new team is willing to pay of the buyout & whether or not the Coach wants that kinda setup or not. Some Coaches don’t mind taking a break for a season or two & just collect money while either having a less demanding role as an analyst or doing TV. Like Herman, Mullen, Fedora & several others have all done when they were fired.

Not that it matters a ton, but Littrell has an attribute that few other coaches can say, that matches Mario and his background

Both played for top 20 football programs and won a championship…. Littrell was team captain on the 2000 Oklahoma team that win the natty

boys on 247 are saying its Frost

Honestly, this would make the delay make a lot more sense. If MC is doing true due diligence on Scott Frost then I can see why it would drag out this long. I have no inside information but it would make sense to me.

Scott Frost - Co-OC/QB Coach
Seth Littrell - Co-OC/Run Game Coordinator/TE Coach
Stacy Coley - WR Coach
Kevin Smith - RB Coach
Alex Mirabal - OL Coach

Geoff Collins - Co-DC/Safeties
Charlie Strong - Co-DC/LB Coach
Joe Salvea - IDL Coach

OFF Field: Kevin Steele (Analyst), Dennis Smith (Recruiting/Analyst), Stephen Field (Recruiting/Analyst), Mike Rumph (Recruiting/Analyst), Jason Taylor (Analyst), Marwan Maalouf (ST Analyst), Marcus Arroyo (Analyst), Jeff Popovich (Analyst)

I had no idea Stacy Coley was coaching.

That OC is just on the other side of town... Yost.

Its about time somebody mentioned him.

 

[JZCane0825]

I feel like Jeff Scott's name hasn't been discussed as much as it probably should be

Definitely has to make sure he's a good fit and can resist the temptations of Miami

As someone who doesn't frequent 247 ... is this reliable? Or more throwing stuff to see what sticks?

 

[TheOriginalCane]

True.

Litrell’s buyout is $1.6-1.8M, and seemingly a top-going rate for a P5 OC.

Not $12-15-20M like others, so maybe our wish will come true.

Strangely and coincidentally, we just saved ourselves $1.8 million (plus a lot of money on our car insurance)...

I don’t have a subscription but based on a screenshot it’s a porster there and not coming from Lake or Gaby

So treat it like it’s coming from @fraggle

If its for cause, then its for cause. He must have breached the terms of his employment agreement. I suppose they could argue some sort of unfair enforcement of the agreement based on ulterior motive. But can't the school just respond by saying that we started looking because of those 'bad acts'? Though another point contrary is that the school may have a duty to let the HR procedure play out--but I don't know how much water that holds.

Either way, Mario was 100% working back channels and not leaving a paper trail--I believe he is smart enough to do that.

This.

You know the answer to that.

@fraggle doesn't break news. News breaks @fraggle.

 

[G Reg3rdLeg]

Man, I really hope it’s not Frost. Feels like there are plenty of other better candidates available…

 

[TOcane]

Actually, if your point is time of possession then it is TOTALLY the point.

It wasn’t.

 

[joseermonfils]

I was watching a Bucs game this season and a stat they used to analyze offensive production was Points Per Minute. The goals is 1 PPM. If TOS was 35 minutes, they wanted 35 points. A lower PPM indicates inefficiency and a higher PPM reveals explosive plays that lead to points, like a 2-3 minute drive for a TD.

I remember the 2001 team had a crazy stat I believe they had the most scoring drives in like 2 mins…I don’t remember the stat exactly

This has some legs but to me it’s dumb. Mario Cristobal got rid of Josh Gattis quite honestly because his lack of recent success on offense was going to hurt recruiting and already hurt the ability to lure some elite WRs that they struck out on. So why replace him with the disgraced Nebraska head coach who couldn’t put together any sort of offense in the Big Ten? If I was an opposing team I’d use this as negative recruiting fodder over and over again. It would not be a smart hire.

This is a really dumb take by Farrell. So are we just ignoring all of the success he had prior to the Nebraska job? By this logic Saban should never have hired Sarkisian or Kiffin after they were fired from their last jobs.

So you just gone post this dumb shiii and leave it up huh?

Heupal was running UCF offense from Missouri, talented...wow

Farrell is clueless as usual.

 

[5NC4]

Gotta think he’s a year or two from getting an NFL HC gig. Done a phenomenal job with Hurts.

And Trask

I have suspicion that Brian also implemented those plays into the playbook that take advantage of Hurts athletic ability

 

[Angry Ibis]

you know how this works. Everyone throws out a prediction. Someone gets it right and they puff their chest out. But when they miss..."oh a lot of moving parts."

These situations are very fluid. So many fluids…
