Didn’t we almost hire the Kent St head coach?

Maybe a good sign for the future because Gameday just had quotes by other college coaches saying Kent St.’s offense is similar to Tennessee.

So maybe Mario is looking to open it up a bit.

if it wasn’t Kent St coach them I have covid foggy brain still.

That was Jason Candle, Toledo HC.

Kent St has Andrew Sowder as the OC. I want him to get a hard look if we fire Gattis. They looked like crap this past Thursday but overall, that offense can hum. I think they had a top 5 offense last year

Yep. My bad.

Candle must be insanely clueless about defense, they lose 6 games seemingly every year.

They did. They also ran the most plays last year. They had Dustin Crum last year and he was a perfect fit for their offense. The new QB this year is meh, so the offense has definitely taken a step, or two, back. I'm a little concerned about Sowder's play calling abilities solely because this is 100% Sean Lewis' offense.

I'm a Kent St grad and use to be apart of the athletic department back in the day. I would be very intrigued to see that offense in Coral Gables. With the type of QB and athletes UM can attract, UT's offense would be our floor.

Sean Lewis was definitely one of the "hot names" along with Jason Candle and Doug Belk on D.

Sean Lewis must have one of greatest PR person’s in the world. Dude is in year 5 with a 3-6 record, only one winning season, and never more than 7 wins.

They play a bunch of big programs every year. 3 of their losses this year are to Oklahoma, Washington, and UGA. It's the same almost every year with 3 games against P5 teams. Last year they went 6-2 in conference.

How many HC’s willing take a demotion to be an OC/DC? I can only think of Chip Kelly who left a D3 school to go to Oregon to work under Belotti.

That fact he seriously considered it was telling.

If they're on the hot seat it could be a wise move..getting fired could really hurt your career but going and doing well at a major P5 program as a coordinator could jumpstart you again.

ok I looked it up. They do play a fair amount of P5 schools but in 5 years they have only won their division (East) once.

Two MAC Head Coaches have in the past so that is why Candle was in discussion for OC

Enos and Lembo I believe
