Here are some guys with either connections to Richt or a pretty good pedigree and currently unemployed. Personally I would prefer Searels or Studrawa. Both had good lines at LSU under Saban and Miles proving they could coach championship caliber line play. That's a teaching achievement, not necessarily just recruiting success. Combine one of these guys with maybe Kuligowski and what he's acheived at Missouri in DL play would give us incredible teachers at crucial positions. Top level coaching IMO.


Stacy Searels- out at VT with the Fuente hiring, worked under Richt at Georgia

2014-2015- Virginia Tech OL
2011-2013-Texas OL
2007-2010- Georgia OL and Run Game coordinator
2003-2006- LSU OL- won a NC with Saban in 2003
2001-2002- Cincinnati OL

Neil Callaway- was Richt's first OC at Georgia

2013-2015- Western Kentucky OL
2007-2010- UAB HC
2001-2006- Georgia OC/OL
1997-2000- Alabama OC/OL

Greg Studrawa- likely out at Maryland with the Durkin hiring

2014-2015- Maryland OL
2007-2013- LSU OL- was OC as well for 2 seasons, National Champs in 2007, runners up in 2011.
2001-2006- Bowling Green OL, OC for 3 seasons as well

Mitch Browning- out at Rutgers with the Ash hiring. Former Broyles Award winner. Generally thought of as a zone blocking scheme guy, not sure how it would mesh with what Richt wants.

2014-2015- Rutgers OL
2013- Davidson AHC/OL/TE
2012- Ashland- RB/TE
2010-2011- Akron OL
2009- Tennessee- Offensive assistant
2008- Syracuse OC/OL
1999-2006- Minnesota OC/OL/TE- great lines with Marion Barber, Laurence Maroney, Thomas Tapeh, Thomas Hamner, Tellis Redmond, Gary Russell, Amir Pinnix and Terry Jackson all rushing for over 1000 yards in Brownig's time there.
1991-1998- Kansas TE/LB/DB at various times.

Josh Henson- out at Mizzou as OC/OL/TE with the hiring of Odom

2009-2015- Missouri OC/OL/TE
2005-2008- LSU TE/Recruting Coordinator
2001-2004- Oklahoma State TE/Recruting Coordinator

I want Mike Tice or Mike Munchak otherwise it's an indictment of Richt. That said, if it ends up being Kehoe vs Scott for the spot then let's hope Richt doesn't err(or) on the side of nostalgia. It's time to give Art that set of steak knives and gold watch.

No Freaking Way.... The guy was a dumpster fire for his 2 years at Rutgers... Even with a solid returning line his first year .. they were terrible...
If it wasn't for the stable of Running backs that they had they would have had no offense what so ever..

Coach Larry Scott

I'd prefer to keep him as the TE coach since that's his expertise and it's where we've seen him work minor miracles in terms of player development. I can't speak highly enough of Larry Scott.

We will have an amazing offense if he can do to the OL what he did with Walford.

If he can make that type of developing turnaround with guys like Sonny and McDermott we'd be running teams out of the gym.
 
Good work, op. Browning was a very highly thought of up and comer working under Mason at Minnesota. His stock took a dip after that, but I haven't studied him much recently.

Wasn't the Texas OL soft and a weak part of their team while Searles was there?
 
Its a pipe dream with Mark calling plays but I would love to get Ed Warinner from OSwho. IMO they have had one of the best lines since he has been there.

Browning and Tony Petersen were the co-OCs at Minny under Mason, and those were very productive offenses.
Petersen is currently the OC at LaTech and has done wonders for Skip Holtz.
He converted a vagabond QB from Iowa who had done nothing and made him very productive last season,
and this season had Driskel pass for over 4000 yards plus a back go over 1100 yards.
I'm surprised Petersen is still at LaTech.

But I do like Browning. He had very good OLmen at Minny.
Not sure what happened at Rutgers and don't really care.
