by who?

Not one credible person has mentioned the name Golesh on the short list. Whoever told you Golesh is more out of the loop than Susan Miller

The OC and mastermind of that offense still remains in Knoxville.

On the surface I’d have similar concerns about Garrett Riley. Dykes has had great offenses going back quite a few years. But some understudies, like Lebby and Lashlee, seem to pick up enough that they can keep it rolling after they leave. Maybe Golesh can do the same.
 
I'd always be weary if hiring an OC who's only experience as a coordinator is under a strong offensive head coach.
Golesh has been an OC for 2 years and a co-oc for 1 year. All under Heupel.

Lashlee went to multiple places and did well... Garrett hasn't yet..those guys would be better off going to a school for 2 years to get out from under their "mentor's" shadow to prove they can do it on their own.
 
Just glad it wasn't Prime. Golesh being the architect of UT offense is like saying USC OC is the architect of the Trojans offense.

Prime in Colorado is the news of the day. He'll get some FL kids to go but he's too far away for it to really become a major issue. I do wonder if Hunter, his son and others follow him or if they go elsewhere.

Great hire. USF has a better and more modern offense than us.

It’s why there aren’t many CEO style HCs that succeed in College, pretty much everyone is a specialist on offense or defense. I think Mario is really the only one that’s had legit success.

Exactly. Some fans had him on their wishlist, as if he was leaving Tennessee for the same job at Miami—when he was only leaving for a head coaching gig.

Of course our mopes will turn this into Miami somehow being slighted.

“If we’d have fired Gattis five minutes after the Pitt game, Golesh might’ve come here to me the OC instead of taking the USF gig!!!”

I think you have to start somewhere but I also would prefer a guy who’s had a chance to learn from his mistakes and make some adjustments to his mentor’s offense. Heupel learned the Air Raid from Mike Leach and Mark Mangino at Oklahoma. Then he worked as a QB coach under Kevin Wilson who developed the “Northwestern Spread” before taking over as OC at Oklahoma when Wilson left to coach Indiana. Heupel was actually fired by Bob Stoops after 2014 and had to take an OC job at Utah State for a year. He revitalized his offense at Missouri and parlayed that to the HC job at UCF. You like a guy who’s worked under multiple masterminds and is able to incorporate a little bit of everyone’s systems into his own

Lebby and Lashlee are examples of guys who got to work under multiple offensive gurus and have used what they’ve learned at every stop. Lebby got his start under Art Briles, then coached with Heupel and Kiffin. Lashlee was a Gus Malzahn guy and eventually ended up adding Air Raid principals to his offense under Sonny Dykes. The game is always evolving so the guys who have the most success are the guys who can keep learning and changing their systems

Yup Lashlee proved he could run the show at Miami, Lebby trying to do the same at OU now. Riley could be a home run but hard to tell when he’s just running Dykes offense now. On a side note, I have a hard time seeing Mario sign up for a air raid offense.

From what I gleaned online, golesh called plays but heupel set the gameplan on offense. 🤷‍♂️

He was more involved this year. He received calls last year and that’s why he got the pay bump and more control. Like coley at fsu but coley never called plays. That said that’s all three chins offense.
 
I like the hire if I’m USF.

Just plug that system in and see if you can draw some buzz. They’re a dead program right now.
 
typical miami hire the title guy whos really not the guy under a figurehead OC playcalling head coach
