The OC Candidates Thread

[FourFingers]

I don’t care if a Coach is railing Coke in the middle of his interview & Freebases 2C-B up in the booth while calling plays.

If he can design a good aggressive Offense, understands the nuances of situational play calling & puts up points, hire him.

And that’s not specific to Frosty, it could be anybody, idgaf about having a Team with coaches & players that are choir boys, just produce results.

I get what you're saying: results are the only thing that matter.
But I just don't see Mario as the type of guy to hire someone who's a loose cannon off the field. Maybe I'm wrong, it's just opposite his mentality.

Apparently he hired a loose cannon off the field

No one at 247 knows **** about coaching hires lol crazy to think otherwise

If Cribby and D$ say there’s too much BS to wade through to give accurate info then that’s all I pay attention to

That means two things…

The question isn't whether Frost is an alcoholic or not. Its whether he's a functional alcoholic or not . If it's the former, then sign him up. Half the people I knew in the Marines were functional alcoholics and they were still pretty good at their jobs.

considering that our last OC had "difficulty with boundaries" to use an euphemism in his last three places of employment, i strongly suggest that we pass on Frost even if he's a functioning alcoholic. at some point, functioning alcoholics stop functioning.

as an example, my former partner was a highly functioning alcoholic until he fell down the stairs in his own house and died. he graduated from functioning alcoholic to dead alcoholic in a matter of seconds at the bottom of the stairs.

IF (BIG IF) frost has issues, i am in favor of foregoing his hire.

Mario needs to nail this hire. doesn't have to be a home run but it can't be another abject failure like Gattis.

And Mario played at Miami under Erickson?

We don't even know if Frost is a raging alcoholic.

And just because 247 says it doesn't mean its true. They'll find a way to backtrack. If they had the nuts to reveal, they would have made an announcement on Twitter.

6-7 national titles versus zero. when you have THAT many titles, you are free to do whatever you want whenever you want.

When you have 0 titles, shouldn't you take notes from the guy with 7?

I remember the 2001 team had a crazy stat I believe they had the most scoring drives in like 2 mins…I don’t remember the stat exactly

Yeah, those Canes were explosive. Not many 80-yard 10-play 9-minute drives.

 

[TemplarCane]

It's weird because it doesn't actually measure anything.

If you're a team that goes crazy fast and throws the ball all the time you can have 10 possessions in 14 minutes. If you score two TD's you're at 1 PPM. But you punted on 8 possessions. If the other team took the remaining 45 minutes and scored 5 TDs they would be at a PPM that's much lower than you but they beat you 35-14. It doesn't measure efficiency at all.

Probably more to it than I remember. And this was from a TV color commentator restating what someone told him.

 

[TRick72]

I’ve never heard of Seth Littrell or Zach Kittley having any off-field issues…

So even though he calls it a dumb hire, he does say “it has legs”?

Sure, but the reports aren't too encouraging. You can bury your head in the sand but dude seemed a bit unhinged based on what came out. Certainly enough to raise concern.

Again. You don’t see him hiring a loose cannon off the field, again…

It's probably the most critical hire that will determine his legacy here. Someone with the baggage Frost had is certainly a cause for concern.

Impressive. I wouldn’t have known you were a Marine.

Me going through the comments trying to find @Cribby posts so I can cling to hope only to realize he changed his ******* avatar again

Well I wasn't very good at it, so it's an easy mistake to make lol

Honestly, if he can handle his business and the offense performs at a high level while partying up a storm like that, I want him moved up the list and involved in planning certain recruiting visits.
