Memphis OC Dillingham: Do with this what you will

[Caneville87]

Long had more experience on the offensive side of the ball. Actual position coach experience.

Dillingham was a GA in 2016.

Nagy was an offensive quality control coach in 2012 was an NFL team OC in four years, Mcvay was an assistant TE coach in 2010 and a TE coach after that who had never called plays before being promoted to OC in 2014, Jim Bob Cooter was an offensive assistant in 2013 and was OC of an NFL team in 2015, Josh McDaniels was a defensive assistant in 2003 and became the pats OC in 2006. The better programs and organizations are usually the ones, who are ahead of the curve on young coaching talent. You are already late when any person sitting at home knows who they are. I'd give Yost, Kingsbury, and Briles a call first but Dillingham isn't some scrub like people seem to be making him out to be.

Let me ask you this: you said earlier that Roman and the other guy on here would run circles around Richt, I assume you mean as an OC and playcaller. Would you support them being hired by Richt to be OC and playcaller?

I would support Roman as OC if the only other option was richt. In a heart beat.

Anyone but Richt

Jarren isn't going anywhere unless Richt is gone. RS frosh with a legit chance at starting. He is Richt's dude. Of course, even with the new ruling, corch did the same thing he did with Perry, wasted a chance to get him meaningful snaps. Thanks corch.

This probably means nothing and I have no idea whom it is - but it's another person Dillinghan is following

Richt would rather quit than to give up play calling (his words when he was first hired at Miami).

Therefore, if he is not going to quit, the next best thing is to bring in someone that can install a new offense (spread). A seasoned OC, who has been calling plays, is not going to take a step back and go back to not calling plays, especially at this current version of Miami.

Getting a "Group of 5" OC, who currently does not call plays, but happens to come from a potent spread offense, which he help design, is a more realistic option. In this context/scenario, Dillingham is a very solid option!

That option will fail.

Agree with your premise but Jim Bob sucks. Stafford has one of the biggest arms in the NFL and he plays in a dink and dunk horizontal offense. It's embarrassing.

 

[KevinCaneFace]

I agree other than Kliff mullling the UNC position. Reports say they are interested in him not vice versa.

People just hear things and run with it. Kliff is very sought after as an OC right now. He won’t be going to UNC

I was more so pointing out that there is going to be coaches who rise quickly up the ranks. Of course, some are not going to work out but that is with any coaching hire even with the coaches who have "more" on their resume. I am not particularly a fan of Jim Bob either.

Interview question #1: Coach, did you know you can move a player across and even back a formation before the snap?

Answer: ‘actually, I’ve seen where you can do it with more than one player; just not at same time.’

You’re hired.

On offense for playmakers

Pro style offense that plays fast? Sign me up. Contrary to some people on this board, I don’t want an all-out air raid offense. You need a healthy balance.

 

[Mico Jones]

It's a bit nerve racking that Jarren is following so many Memphis players & coaches.

I know he's from Kentucky. Is Memphis near there? Probably nothing. Disregard.

Hes from Georgia

Kenneth doesn’t have any experience coordinating a group of men.

Oh well. We might end up with Kenny then instead of Kenneth.

 

[nystateofmind]

Oh well. We might end up with Kenny then instead of Kenneth.

Kenneth says he finds Kenny to be quite handsome and thinks he would be an excellent hire.

 

[duke4heisman]

I would support Roman as OC if the only other option was richt. In a heart beat.

Yep.

 

[Home Slice]

If he's good enough for Kenneth then I might get on board. Definitely a step in right direction following this year's debacles.

 

[reg]

That option will fail.

Maybe. I actually don't necessarily disagree with you. However, it's more realistic than thinking Richt will give up play calling. At the end of the day, it's a better option than what currently exist.

 

[1mg of Epi]

But they aren’t qualified though they know the kind of offense and the concept that is used in NCAAF today and can run circles around a head coach who has been doing this for years with multiple Heismann winners and NFL future HOFers to his credit?

Okay. Have a great evening.

Richt hasn’t been an OC or playcaller in over a decade. There’s a reason.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

Blake could hire Dillingham and let Richt walk then keep manny and the Dillingham. Just saying...

Yea I don’t think richt will give up playcalling either.
