Official The OC Candidates Thread 2.0

[passitback]

Was the Brian Johnson hint/leak strategic? Hear this out. Thursday night Dennis Smith tweets a picture of Joe's Stone Crab manager - named Brian Johnson. Now it's revealed that Johnson, the African-American Eagles qb coach, will interview for the Ravens OC position. It doesn't appear that Johnson will be heading DOWN to the college ranks. IF TRUE, why the misdirection?

Manny Navarro, fwiw, revealed in an interview with Big O that Charlie Strong apparently was not interviewed for the DC opening, and as reported quickly departed the program. Navarro floated the idea (debatable) that perception of sensitivity to race makeup on the UM staff is a concern for some, particularly the local high school community. Which brings us back to the Johnson 'leak'. Just food for thought.

Oye, papo.... read these names and you'll smell some sofrito coming off your screen...

Los habichuelas:
Cristobal
Arroyo
Coley
Mirabel

But, wait, there is more...

Country Baked Beans:
Guidry

And, we got even more flavor...

Frijoles:
Addae
Smith


- What am I missing besides the rice? We got the habichuelas, baked bean, and frijoles. Why won't that make the "high school community" happy?

Well, it for sure wont be Brain Johnson.

It was never gonna be him.

Bye.

Just long as it's not Nuss

Pretty smart ploy by Mario to let that name leak because legit any other hire will look like a home run compared to that

 

[WestGA'Cane]

This is dumb and was already talked about last year

Well at least you have a take. All those negging the TOPIC (for discussion) into oblivion apparently didn't see the words 'debatable', 'if true'..and whether we agree or not, it doesn't discount the perception of the high school community (according to NAVARRO). And no one's answered the question: why the misdirection by Smith?

The leaks the past week better be expectations management.

 

[Tony4Canes]

So. I should have tried to find Candle yesterday for some questions when I was in Toledo. **** it. ***** *** *****.

That’s been the plan around Eagles circles for a week now.

Of course it was. The path to being an NFL OC is not dropping down to college and working your way back up. You stay as a position coach and either get promoted internally or follow someone who you worked with or know that is getting a HC job. Very few Joe Bradys. He had to set the college football world on fire to get an NFL OC job for a year.

 

[Baba Yaga]

Negrodamus was right, btw.

 

[kcsheldon]

Somebody interviewed for a position coach that Miami fans are very familiar with. So there’s still names interviewing that nobody in the media has an idea about. I’ll continue to believe the names being leaked are for a reason.

I’m Guessing Thomas Brown

 

[M3N]

I’m not trying to be a mope or a conspiracy, theorist, but wouldn’t logic dictate that if Mario is still interviewing at this point, it’s because he’s been turned down by multiple candidates?

I mean, he hired a DC in less than a week. Why would this search take two months in comparison? Especially when he allegedly made the decision on Gattis months ago.

1. Probably has to do with working for Mario.
2. Working at Miami has been career suicide for many previous coaches.
3. Empty stadium weekly. And 45 mins from campus.

Another guy who’s interviewing for OC job in the NFL and probably will get one? Yeah, don’t do this to yourself.

Well dam who the **** is gonna be the OC

Cause Unk Luke ain’t ever happy. Can’t please everyone. Only at Miami is this ever an “issue”

No offense to you, but all offense to any non-fans that use this, but wtf does that have to do with coaching players? That always irks me.

 

[Rickd]

So Mario is potentially still going to take the questionable position of hiring position coaches before the coordinator?

If the OC is already hired, pending announcement in the next few days, then I am sure he is coordinating the WR coach selection with the new OC.

Because Puke probably wants someone like Lice Harris on the staff rather than local kid Kevin smith. Sofla coaches love criticizing UM - a tale as old as time

You guys really couldn’t have been that dumb to think Johnson would come to Miami..
