Dugans

Tennesse is looking to hire McClendon as their Wr coach. We should be able to hire him as a Wr/OC. He would be a great hire.

Why did McClendon choose to go work for Muschimp, who had a bad reputation and for whom he never worked, instead of coming to UM with Rick? Rick tried to hire him when he came to UM, but McClendon turned him down.

I recall reading that McClendon is a country boy and his family didn’t like Miami.

Heard the same with John Lily

Lilly was on the rams staff last year.

I know but the reason given why he didnt follow Richt was that he didnt like Miami or big cities.

But went to coach in LA? From what i seen reported is he just rather be in the nfl.

That is what people tried to spin I remember but I agree that he wanted to coach in the nfl

McClendon meow leaving USCe and reportedly turned down WR offer from Pruitt just meow
 
McClendon is from Chicago. Perplexing that he turned us down in the first place but maybe he thought he had a better chance to end up calling plays up there.

Iirc I read something about his wife as an excuse as to why McClendon chose USCe over us. There are rumors that if Muschamp passes on McClendon for the OC job he may look for employment elsewhere. Maybe he reconsiders Miami if he can’t find an OC job
 
If he leaves, turn it into a positive. Steal Briles from FAU and make him WR coach/co-OC.

This suggestion makes too much sense. The guy also did coach WRs too at Baylor.

Hire Briles, you can easily get him. The only thing that would stop us is Richt's ego.

Maybe he can teach Jon Richt something (e.g. get coffee) so he can be useful.

Although the pay would be similar, I doubt Briles would take a demotion right now. He is the AHC and call plays for FAU

Did your cat type this for you?

Like I get FAU is some cute story but let's tighten up our apples to apples type of comparisons. At WORST it'd be a parallel move to a MUCH bigger stage for Briles.

A) He's not ever going to get full credit for calling the plays under Kiffin and B) He's calling those plays and assistant head coaching on the side of 95 in Boca.

The only reason you stay there is if you think Kiffin getting a much bigger job is imminent and he's promised to take you there as OC.

Hello McFly!?!? The last part is why he went there in the 1st place. Going from FAU to UM is a huge move up. There’s nothing lateral about it.

No news is good news on this front. I'm sticking with the facts and not delusional FSU fans on this one. Why would anyone, no matter how much they love their alma matter, create career suicide?

FSU has a shortage of talent and numbers at WR. Tate will go to the NFL. The new FSU WR coach will be depending on Gavin, who has a penchant for drops, and Matthews who's vastly unproven. Matthews is basically UM's Harley at this point. Murray is a JAG. It's comical he's considering the NFL. He won't get drafted. The incoming WR class isn't special even if they land Warren Thompson. The TE position there is in shambles with unproven Mckitty as the starter since Izzo declared for the NFL. The backups are not even on Polendy's level. All the top TE recruits this year have signed elsewhere. The FSU passing game will be hot garbage.

Meanwhile at UM, there's the top WR in the state committed to go along with an underrated Army All American and another big body. Likely the #1 WR in country returning next season in Richards. Then there's your seniors who you coached up in Langham and Harris. Then you have the speedy sophomores Thomas and Harley. UM will be stacked at WR. I left out that Irvin Jr will be in his 3rd season at TE along with the top 2 receiving TE's in the nation coming in to compete. The passing game should be significantly better compared to FSU.

The ONLY argument one could try to make is that Frenchy is returning to FSU. That's fine and all. However, he's missed an entire year of football and there's no way to know how well he'll play in a new offense. UM will have Perry in his second year and Rosier in his 3rd year after a full season starting in the same system. I don't believe FSU has an edge here at all either.

The good news is that if I'm wrong, the WR coach position at UM will be the most sought after WR position in the country.

Pay would be similar? Are you serious? I stopped there because why continue.

This plus a pay increase.

Don’t pop a blood vessel, yes the pay would be similar. Briles makes 350k a year comparable Bmac at USCe who makes 350k in base salary for being a glorified WR coach. Dugans’ salary isn’t public but I doubt he is making significantly more than that at the moment (although I’m sure he will get a raise whether he stays or leaves)

Miami would offer him a pay raise but FAU could/would match it.

Agreed for the most part, and I’m sure we would throw the co-OC title his way. Depends on how important calling plays is to him and how long he expects Kiffin to stay at FAU. Regardless, it’s moot because it doesn’t look like Dugans is leaving

Pop a blood vessel, who isn’t calm? Your porst just sucked and is wrong.

Do you really need a serious response? You think the pay would be similar and there is no reason to think that in anyway.

Are my years mixed up or did rams move to LA after Lilly joined them?
