The only real update is on offensive coordinator. I can confirm others' reports that former Houston head coach Major Applewhite should now be considered the leading candidate for the spot. What happened with former UNC head coach Larry Fedora? It's not 100% certain, but one strong source inside Hecht believes Fedora let UM brass know this morning that he prefers a head coaching position and that Applewhite is the name that's trending internally right now.

Does that give us or FSU the advantage in our game against them?
Good Fedora is a overrated washed up bum on this site because some decided to label him a savage.
The major problem with this team is O line. Either the players arent being put in a good position to succeed or they flat out suck. lets hope they can be coached up and schemed properly to succeed.
I'll let Manny know @Dilber doesn't approve of this hiring because his friend said he runs the offense like a caveman
I’m good with that. I’m glad we took a shot with Fedora. Let’s sign the checks and roll

Huh? Any of the guys we is considering ( really considering not like 5th options like Coley) will have UM as atop 15-20 offense in 2 years and from there it will just get better if there is consistency. UM had 1 year with Stephen Morris where our offense was great but for the most part we haven't been a top 15 offense in forever.
That’s a weak argument
Love that movie. Nice one.
Fedora wants to be a head coach, oh well.
Applewhite is still a pretty good option and as long as his playcalling is like what it was at houston under Herman and add some of those briles principles he picked up this year I’m sure we will be more than fine for sure with him as an Oc. Uptempo wide open spread offense let’s go
Fedora would have been a solid A hire.
Applewhite is a solid B+ and depending on his hires on his staff could be higher. We need some recruiters and I’m really hoping we pull some big guns on that side of the ball

Diaz knows what he wants and if Fedora is looking for the first HC job then move on. If it’s not this year it’s next and even maybe before our next season ends he gets that chance again. Would have been nice but reality is he is over qualified.
As long as Applewhite is someone who makes adjustments when needed I am good with it. We will be better just be running an uptempo O that uses your speed and athletes the ball in space.

I'm good with Applewhite as long we get Seider and Trooper Taylor at RB and WR coaches .

We will be running the same offense that's won 3 National Titles and has 3 teams in the top 12.
They need to get Apple to sign right now. We can't waste anymore time before some other team decides they want a shot at him.
Why does it have to be one or the other though? They need to expand their search. There are other good and better OCs than Applewhite.

C+ hire.
Interview more candidates.

Your ceiling generally is referred to as your potential. JS.
Interesting, I figured Larry was out with the delay in the announcement still happening. Major would be a HUGE upgrade over Richt’s offense and can still use the full length and width of the field to put stress on a defense. Although I’d rather have Fedora, I’m good with Applewhite
Sorry, I meant floor.
