The Case for Graham Harrell

TheRichtShow said:
How much of that is Harrell and how much is Seth Litrell, the HC?

Fedora's offenses at UNC went downhill once Litrell left. Harrell has a good coaching tree, but you'd be taking a huge risk

How is that risk bigger than hiring Applebottom? He made his career from working under good offensive coaches. Please compare resumes, and you’ll see who’s better.

What the **** is going on? Why isn't this thread multiple pages yet? Jesus Christ.

Holgersen. Briles. Kingsbury. Riley. Litrell. All sons of Leach's. There's a new one, just God **** sitting at NORTH TEXAS of all places, just waiting for a program to be forward thinking. To be aggressive. To take a chance on a possible dynamo!

He's waiting. He's RIGHT THERE!

You want to be attractive to recruits?! You want to sell ticket!? You want to be "modern" and "aggressive"!? You want to turn the fortunes of Miami offensively for years to come?!

SPREAD IT OUT. PLAY FAST.
AIR. IT. OUT!!!

Someone show this to Manny and Blake thanks.

He's on the CBS 60 minutes when they talked to Leach. Took him three minutes to explain everything he had to look at in under 3 seconds.

Also that pass to Crabtree to beat #1 Texas was great. They talk about the moment before the play in the interview. If they can be loose enough to play that way under pressure, I'm sure he will do find as a coach.

I love that morons ask "compare resumes" when the answer is subjective

I'd rather have Applewhite.
 
Given the state of affairs last week, and that of our offense for the entirety of the 2018 season; I’ll gladly take either Harrell or Applewhite. If either can help us field a Top 25-30 offense, coupling that with Baker/Diaz defense, I don’t see anyway we don’t easily eclipse 10 wins this upcoming 2019 season.

I think he would be a better hire than Applewhite (and maybe even Fedora).

He's coached under Gundy, Leach, and Holgorsen.

Played under Mike Leach.

He's currently the OC at North Texas under HC Seth Littrell, who was the OC at UNC under Fedora.

Graham Harrell joined the Mean Green as the offensive coordinator for North Texas prior to the 2016 season. His offense saw the 11th-best turnaround in the nation, scoring 9.6 points per game more than it did in 2015. North Texas threw for 771 more yards than it did in 2015, and the total offense gained 603 yards more than it did in 2015 under Harrell's guidance.

Harrell, who was a record-setting Texas high school football quarterback at Ennis and in college at Texas Tech, spent two seasons at Washington State. He was promoted to outside receivers coach in 2015 and helped lead the Cougars to an 8-4 season and a berth in the Sun Bowl.
Harrell coached wide receiver Gabe Marks, who was a Pac-12 first-team all-conference selection in 2015. Marks led the conference in receptions, touchdown receptions and was second in receiving yards per game. He set a Washington State single season record with 14 receiving touchdowns. In addition to Marks, wide receiver Dom Williams received honorable mention honors after hauling in 73 catches for 997 yards and 11 touchdowns. Washington State led the nation in passing offense in 2015, throwing for 397 yards per game.

North Texas Total Offense (per ESPN):

2015- 121st
2016 - 109th
2017 - 13th
2018 - 18th

Yes, I know...mental *********ion, yada yada yada

Stoops did the smart thing and went and grabbed Riley from ECU. Gundy routinely goes the smaller school route for innovative OCs. TCU turned their program around hiring guys from this tree. They all are productive. This shouldn't be that hard.

Sometimes it is just easier to experiment and fine tune your art at small schools...
 
We should triple his salary and see if he’d be our #2 as QB / Passing Game coordinator.
