Was going to mention Byron. He was a hot HC candidate, won a SB as OB with Tampa. Until this season the Bucs offense was oustanding, with Brady of course, and even with Winston prior. Bucs’ offensive woes were the result of losing three Pro Bowl quality OL, one each to retirement, free agency...

Brian Schottenheimer hired as Dallas OC.

Scott: WeII, I’m from the Chip Kelly tree, if that’s what you mean. And I’m a Linux guy, open source 24/7. Can I get a cafecito? Maybe a double? And I saved this last mini-Havana Club 7 Anos from my flight. Okay if I add?

Norv Turner?! ;)

Since Reid left Philadelphia the Eagles have been to 2 Super Bowls.

Probably more to it than I remember. And this was from a TV color commentator restating what someone told him.

Yeah, those Canes were explosive. Not many 80-yard 10-play 9-minute drives.

And Mario played at Miami under Erickson?

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.

Why not offer $2M a year (for example), reduced to $400K in year 1 from Miami, with NT picking up the balance? Then a raise to $2M in year 2… This is what Bama did with Kiffin. He was still being paid by USC, so Bama got him as OC for a little over $600K a year. Once USC paid in full Bama...

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...

Maybe he and Lebby turned down Saban, maybe they weren’t officially offered. Maybe they both ‘withdrew from consideration’. Could Saban’s reputation of being difficult to work for be working against him?

FIFY Agreed. Decisiveness is not one of Mario’s traits.

Technically, yes, but no way Dabo cold-called Garrett after the firing. Riley’s interest was asked, and salary and contract framework pre-negotiated. May have taken only a few days, but I wouldn’t be shocked if talks started prior to the NC game.

I remember former AD Sam J said he always kept a short list of coaching candidates ready, in case he needed to replace a HC. He’s not wondering what to do if the time came. Schelly left, and Sam was always impressed with JJ. JJ left, and Erickson was on the list. This doesn’t mean the process...

Even Saban has made hires that didn’t work out, so there are no guarantees. But Mario taking forever to make hires limits his talent pool. Quality coaches may have other options and aren’t going wait around weeks for a decision. And this season the delay on Gattis negatively impacted QB and WR...

Explains how/why Mario asked McVay to speak at the Canes’ legends/coaches workshop.

He‘s just a no-discrimination baller.
