Tons of suspensions the last two years, then killed by injuries. Before that had some of the best offenses in the country. Think he got dealt a bad hand at the end there. For what it's worth, Paul Johnson of all people was standing up for him at the end. Don't think he had a reason other than respect.Was Fedora’s fail at UNC a showstopper or was he just a bad fit as HC?
Something to consider: several folks on our defensive staff have said (off the record) that UNC's offense was the most difficult scheme to prepare for. Fedora also fits the killer, run-up-the-score mold.
Franklin?Manny just put out Franklin as a name to watch. Meh, not too hot, not too cold on that one.
That's a risk. Need to vet him properly. Saban makes it work, although, it's Saban.I love Fedora but strikes me as a “Todd Haley over throw the king” if necessary type. The first time Diaz makes a rookie coach mistake he will make things bad for him and feel he should be the HC.
Tony Franklin. Middle Tenn State. Was Cal's OC with Goff and took over for Leach at UK. Fired at Auburn after like a year in the Tubberville era. He's off that Leach/Mumme tree. Just not the guy I think any of us are thinking.Franklin?
Steve Sarkisian just became available. He could be a mess in south beach but he's a stud OC. Thoughts?
Fedora or Kiffin
Needs to be the right fit. Diaz got elite results from his unit because he is the right fit. A guy like Kiffin is the right fit. Coaches with balls. Coaches that know how to simplify.
Fedora would be a great fit.
One thing that scares me about him.... I saw Elliot play in high school. He has absolutely no business being an ACC QB. You have to have an eye for talent at QB and that’s not reassuring that he went down to Texas to sign him.
