OC thread

[Udynasty]

Outside of being a big name, what is the obsession with Applewhite?

someone said his offense was ranked #6 this year... If he can replicate that here at the U... not one... not 2.. not 3..

 

[AutoCANE]

Applewhite is an interesting possibility in that he is not employed at moment (no buyouts), worked with Manny at Texas so there is some familiarity between them, has play calling experience as an OC and some experience as HC which brings that element to help Diaz as he gets acclimated to that position. Has worked under Brown, Saban, and Herman. He makes a lot of sense as a potential candidate.

I tend to agree with this on the surface, but when I think of the fact that he showed such poor judgement as to bring Mark “yards don’t matter” D’Onofrio in to run his defense, I can’t say that I am comfortable with his decision making.

 

[PittsburghCane]

Mostly agree, but I want separate QB coach and OC. We need two guys. Up to Manny to make the numbers work.

I can role with that, especially how important that position is.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

I’m encouraged that Manny is looking to improve the Defensive staff too. Fran Brown, come on down

If true, that is really encouraging

 

[PittsburghCane]

Firstly I apologize for speaking James Coley into existence. Secondly, just heard he and Diaz are tight and he’s a good possibility to join staff in some capacity. Would it be worth it if he brought Fields too?

 

[pumbaa]

Big thing with Yost who is the one I have wanted the whole time is he left Mizzou because he wanted more family time. So I wonder how that plays out.

HC experience and has worked with a lot of good coaches.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

If he hires James Coley to be the OC it's officially riot time.

For the love of God Manuelito, don't **** this up. You'll never get another chance.

I’d take bedenbaugh in a second.
hire Dorsey as QBC
Lattimore as RBC

Sensible post right here.

 

[righty]

Fedora would be an awful hire. His continued misuse of players and the offense was one of the reason he got fired.

 

[MotoSniper]

Well we have a HC who’s never HC’d before and CO-DC’s that have never DC’d before... why not an OC that has never OC’d before. The U is now OJT.

Who says we are keeping the two coaches as Co-DCs? Manny didn't make that hire. He could keep both, give them a slight raise bump, then hire a badass DC..

It wasn't his offense. It was Kendal Briles' offense and he is now at FSU and will be raping us for the near future

 

[Torocane]

How about stealing the semenholes newly hired OC!
Drop some serious money on Briles solve our problem and hurt the semenholes at the same time,

It’s not his offense

 

[mirvin88]

Give me Applewhite, and a new OL coach. Dugans, Hartley need to stay, Brown would be good if he is ok with the demotion back down to strictly RB coach.

Brown is a toxic POS. He should be gone already.

He was a ****** head coach....but I don't think he'd be a bad hire as purely an OC. Didn't he learn from Gundy?

Basically zero chance it happens, but it would be amazing. He's a great OC and any chance to **** off FSU would be nice.

Sark anyone?
