A lot of guys werent oc's before being hired as an oc. You do understand that right? Just like there are head coaches who have never been head coaches before too. That's how moving up the ladder works in case you didnt know

we shouldn’t do that.

Why would an up n coming offensive coordinator take a job working for manny? Manny is a career killer for this next hire, just as he was for enos. We’ll end up with someone less attractive or an older retread.

Because if you turn around one of the worst offenses in the country(which actually has talent) then you can parlay that to other opportunities. Someone will take a chance on that and bet on themselves

Totally agree! This talk about how no self-respecting coordinator would work for a lame duck coach is ridiculous. You take over the offense of a school with a big media brand and are able to improve them to an average O, you will get rewarded, should said lame duck coach be fired.

seriously, if our O became the 65th best O in the country, we probably win no less than 8 games. We have a solid D and an EASY schedule.

No, Mike Shula was the offensive coordinator. Dorsey gets credit -- deserved, for sure -- for the work he did as QB coach with Newton. But he's never called plays and doesn't have the pedigree we need for our next OC.

Miami, as a program, is desperate for adults in the room. Guys who have done the job they're hired to do before at a certain level of success. Dorsey is not that.

Ugh ugh ugh ugh should I spill the beans on Joe Brady's Resume? Everyone one wants him and the facts are he still has no experience as a full time play caller. He is allowed to call plays sometimes at LSU, they pretty much alternate.

Of course everyone wants the girl after the have seen that she is pretty.

I'd have to disagree with your thought process and I'm telling you they will reach out to him. I dont care what you love, he will be one of the priority candidates

we shouldn’t hire unqualified candidates because they played for Miami. If he took the oc gig at app state and did well then for sure. The fact that he is a priority candidate is just another indication of the many dumb decisions we’ve made. Like stealing manny back from temple.

People said the same thing about Clay Helton then he hired Graham Harrell and now he makes $1.5M after drastically improving USC's offense.

Good coaches bet on themselves.

It’s the draw of the U. We are the U, not Manny’s team.

Just point all the ones who are doubting that Dorsey can work to Joe Brady. He didn't call plays before and doesn't even call them full time now. But everyone wants him now despite the lack of experience in being a full time play caller. They basically alternate on different possessions calling the plays right now at LSU.

People can cut the “Why would be come here with Manny a dead man walking?!” nonsense. Clay Helton has been on the hot seat for 16 years and they signed Harrell last year. Briles was the hottest OC on the market last year and ******* Willie Taggart got him to come. $$ and talent is why, and all of these coaches have egos. They think they can get it done here when they see the talent we have. Us having Manny shouldn’t be an excuse for us to expect not to land a decent OC. I GUARANTEE there are great OCs out there who would be thrilled to take the opportunity to propel their career using the offensive talent we have on this roster. Stop that.

That’s a pretty UM-biased perspective. We’re a history channel brand at this point. Butch Davis, who half this board likes to mock, just rubbed his nuts in our face with a bunch of 2* recruits. LT shut us out. No OC candidate is going to think there’s a quick magical fix to a broken culture and horrendous OL and no QB. Ergo it’s a 1 year gig. Why would you even move your kids for that, if you ave any still at home?
