The OC Candidates Thread

[RattlerCane305]

 

I hate this thread and I hate that I check it every day.

Also, a very random piece of information to contribute to the thread...

Apparently Gray Crow is the QB coach at Miami Northwestern.

As a Central Rocket, I wholeheartedly approve this hire...

“seal the deal this time”

Candle and Beard are good, and an upgrade, but Seth Littrell is a stronger choice. Weird to me that his name is totally absent from the convo. Maybe he said go **** yourself behind the sences.

Name hasn’t come up with any other teams either

Who would you prefer? A majority of Nebraska fans were happy when Frost was canned, so that rules him out. It can’t be Mullen because Gator fans wanted him gone.

Mullen. Florida fans would be very scared if we got Mullen as our OC.

You’re right that they’re different positions and I don’t know enough about Candle to know if he’d be good here. I’m just making an observation that I haven’t seen Toledo fans saying he’d be good at Miami as OC but rather just saying that they’d be so happy for him to leave lol

ot much motion in this offense. What are your thouhts?

I may be misremembering but I feel like they used motion pre snap every play against us in 2017.

Girls, girls...you're all going to die. I mean, eventually...

It'll take too long.

The Candle hire is relative to who else is a possibility of being hired...

If it’s between Candle or Arroyo, Coley, Nussi etc, then Candle is the best of that bunch.

Other names like Frosty, Mullen, Littrell etc, are really only speculative because we have no idea if they’re even in consideration or even interested.

We may all expect “better”, but the reality is Candle is probably the best we can do.

View it like a spectrum, with Gattless being on one end & whichever OC you view as the best on the other; as long as we get further away from the Gattless side of the spectrum that’s better than worse case scenario.

Is it ideal? No. Is it what might be preferred given the salary that can paid for the position? Probably not.

I believe Cristobal views Candle as a grand slam hire. Second year in a row he's been Cristobals #1 guy. Doesn't matter if Cristobal had 2x more $$$ to offer an OC, I still think he'd want Candle.

CrIbby has confirmed he's one of the two people he's heard were candidates. So ya I'd say it's serious.

all im looking for

This is not a serious porst.

If Dan Mullen wants the job, why isn't it a done deal? Seems like the biggest no-brainer.

I remember the days when Miami was all about innovation, bringing in new ideas and approaches. When did we become the old guy in the club ?

we decide to go against innovation. we went to a modern O w lashlee and then reverted right back. hopefully the next hire brings back the modern O

Does he?

Who said Mullen wants the job? By all accounts he seems perfectly content with his TV gig.

They actually would be worried if we got Mullet as an OC. Their issue was he’s a lazy recruiter.

You've got an entire world of OC's to choose from and Candle is your pick? I'm sorry, that's underwhelming.

I wouldn’t hate Candle, but when comparing what $1.8mm gets you to the market, I would feel like we should do better

They'd be worried if we hired the guy from Washington because he doesn't run the ball enough, because that allegedly helps the defense in performing.

1.8 million in Miami isn't that much compared to other places because of cost of living, I think.

 

[Fluffhead]

Is there real juice to candle or more **** from clowns like canevilletrying to be social media influencers

Both?
