Some names to watch before it’s deleted

[mavericksouth]

I’ve only heard three names as play caller the entire process , nowhere near the names as oc. There hasn’t been much going on with that side so I take that as it’s done.

Please be Belk. Please!!!!

Maybe he slept on it and he and the wife just didnt want to move their family to Miami. From people on here who are from or live in Toledo..they says its a small town atmosphere and a great place to raise kids. People still have this stigma of Miami and if your from the midwest that stigma never leaves. How many coaches and recruits have we lost over the years because of the "The wife doesnt want to raise the kids in Miami/My parents think Miami might be too fast for me" narrative? Alot.

Just throwing another theory out there as to why he changed his mind in the 25th hour because it cant be because he just didnt want to take a demotion. We were going to give him a huge raise. (double his salary?) And we all know its just a 2 year rental and then he was gone anyway if he succeeded here.

Thank you. This board endlessly makes the mistake of thinking everyone wants to live in Miami and that anyone on the planet but them gives two craps about no state tax. It's always just assumed that people would move there. 99% of the people I know would not.

Welp

I'll keep it real...idk what Candle is thinking. Does he plan on being a Toledo lifer? If so, cool. Does he have aspirations to get a better HC job? If so...IF it were going to happen, it'd have happened by now at Toledo. If you're a top coach in the MAC and you have legit interest in a better HC job, they'd get you (especially the B1G) pretty early in your tenure. Toledo's head coach have been a springboard to better since the 90s with only Tom Amstutz ending up without a promotion.

Candle has had some good offenses, but 7-6 also doesn't cut it at Toledo either. Good luck to'em, I guess. Would have loved to see his offense here.

Much more than a hunch,
This group will somehow form a family………

Quality of where you live is subjective. Some people like warm weather, some people like cold weather. Some people like city life (myself), some people like the country slow small town life.

I’m from Mississippi born and raised but have lived in Honolulu and now currently in San Diego. Only thing I miss about Mississippi is my family and fishing. California sucks IMO for fishing lakes btw. Lol, that was off topic but I just wanted to complain.

First of all no one likes the cold . I see what your saying man and i am more of a city/beach/hot weather guy, but I stand by my comment Ohio is one of the worst states I’ve ever traveled too. The only way I could see you wanting to stay there is if you have never left and don’t realize what is out there. Family/Relationships could also factor in. South Florida imo is paradise, you are an hour drive from beach, city, country. There is a reason record amount of people are moving down here and the real estate market is breaking records every month.

Who does #2 work for?

 

[E1k]

Don’t think Mario wants Briles because of the simplicity of the OL play in that system. Takes away from his recruiting specialty and his baby.

Chance remains he could come in and reinvent his offense with what Mario wants to do with the OL but that’s why I’ve been hesitant on Briles the whole time.

I think it goes another direction. But Briles ‘would’ take the job if he was actually offered

I thought the oline play was pretty versatile for briles, the passing game is the simple part imo

 

[JD08]

I don't feel safe.

 

[Gi0logy]

Not gonna lie, it'll be kinda funny if the new AD at Toledo decided he wants his own coach in place next season. Talk about regretting a decision.

Jason Candle is "betting on himself"

 

[Cribby]

If it’s done, why not announce it? Also hard to imagine if it was truly done that it wouldn’t leak out from the team/school the DC is being hired from.

Maybe the name has leaked out , remember when Briles and Brady were done deals weeks ago ? Lol.

 

[mossmadness]

Obviously going to come off as sour grapes, but am I not the only one that didnt think Candle was a 450 foot grand slam?

I wasn’t thrilled with Candle. But when you see that Cristobal has hired somebody like Arroyo and probably would have stuck with him had UNLV not saved Oregon, it could be a lot worse.

 

[KANE]

Women have ego too. Wife probably was pillow talking and in his ear “honey let’s just stay here. We love it here, the kids love it here. Your time will come”.

Probably exactly how it happened,

 

[Brains]

He’s an *******, fwiw.

Are you reading other team boards? I didn't find anything about this in an article about him taking a new job. His career trajectory is virtually entirely up (except for a move from Nevada to Sam Houston).

 

[CanesNation26]

Some of the Briles comparisons don’t make sense, because you’re leaving out the fact that Briles wasn’t the OC the year before, and not comparing what the offense did the year before Briles.

Like FSU was 97th in 2018. Briles jumped it to 61, then it fell back to 83 without him.

Briles’ numbers only compare favorably to Candle because Briles takes over dumpster fires that other OCs have created.

Also, just a quick glance and it appears some of your numbers are wrong.

For instance, in 2020: Western Michigan was 10, Kent State 11, Buffalo 16, Ball State 31, and then Toledo at 39 for F+ Offensive rankings. You are claiming Toledo was Top 2.

This doesn’t really respond to much. Briles is better, which I’ve already acknowledged, so your point about him improving is well taken. My b on the 2020 numbers.

Point is: You said Candle isn’t that good, yet Candle’s numbers say otherwise (again, 4 top 40 offenses in the last 6 years), despite the fact that he had comparable talent to his competitors. Context illuminates why his numbers weren’t that good last year. He had a dog **** Oline and his starting QB retired before the season started according to another poster. I’d imagine we’d see a serious regression in Arky’s offensive output if KJ Jefferson was unavailable in 2022.

Anyway, I guess the discussion is moot anyway.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

From what I've seen of MAC these last few years, there really isn't that much talent disparity between best and worst...they are all recruiting mostly Big10 (and some southeast) rejects.

Yeah, since Rivals/247 really don't bother with 2-star and below (is there even such a thing as a 1-star recruit?), the difference between the "best" MAC team and the "worst" seems to be a couple of 3-stars. Not insurmountable.

 

[Noliaboi]

Probably exactly how it happened,

Pillow talking with these ______. Will leave you more confused.

Seriously underrated comment here.

 

[Redstate12]

The tally has to be at 6 now for the number of candidates linked to Miami who have gotten pay raises in the last few months.

 

[pacusmc]

Mario and he have the same agent. They probably know each other.
He wants to be a p5 head coach and his name just got placed in the national spotlight and everyone is now looking at his games and his offense.
He will be a p5 coach within 12-18 months or maybe sooner just because of this news blast in the past 48hrs.

Demographic trends say otherwise
